What are the preferred methods for doing mock up videos?

I did one mockup with obs studio for capturing and editing and sync the screen and the music, i have the da Vinci resolve but i did not used it yet.
Another lighter option is the Windows 11 clipchamp video editor, i tried it and is a good one when you are in a rush.

I checked out your bottom link video and it sounds good
Smart idea to use tempo fluctuations in your tempo map.

Oh yeah, it is called tempo map, and you will notice a lot of songs that have this micro changes in the tempo, i did it manually so i could corelate the sheet music with the cubase bars for a good guide, it was a massive task. Layer i found out that cubase can detect and create the tempomap automatically from the audio xD, but well, doing it manually is a little bit more pleasant and sometimes precise hehe.

Yes, Cubase can generate a tempo map from audio hitpoints, but I find that I still have to go over each bar manually, as it can go off the rails if unchecked.

Hey Xabierius,
Quick question about OBS studio:
How did you get it to display the playback head? I have tried window recording using Nuendo on both Mac and PC now and the scrolling transport playback head is missing in the video output, defeating the purpose of the video ;P
Is there a setting you used that corrects for this?

I think I have figured it out.
When doing "Display Capture" under properties there is a checkbox to "show cursor".
It seems that the play head in Nuendo renders as a cursor.
Unfortunately, this option is not available for "Window Capture", but at least it works for the other option.

I had fun once. It was awful.
Yeah, this is how I do it and ClipChamp is supereasy... barely an inconvenience (really!).

I keep things fairly simple.
I’m on a Mac, and I use CMD+Shift+5 to record a window or a selection within the window. This captures a QuickTime MOV. I can select destination and audio inputs etc. as part of the OS features.
For multi-channel audio, I bought Loopback from Rogue Amoeba, which I can use to put a microphone input on a separate channel (and later gate or duck audio with) if I want VO.
If audio needs to be extremely high quality I can bounce and synchronize using Adobe Premiere during editing.
If it’s just a quick little video I sometimes edit in QuickTime and upload directly (no other software).
OBS is useful for live streaming but my upload speeds are terrible and it doesn’t seem worth it to live stream at low quality. It’s too much trouble for me to mess with most of the time.

This is the way.
Edit: But I'm curious of how people get that "3D" effect where it looks like you're viewing the timeline from an angle! Anyone have any suggestions?

Yeah I keep meaning to do that but then I think … nah.
Edit - it shouldn’t be difficult. You simply perspective warp the clip(s) and key frame the start and stop positions.

On Windows I captured the screen with OBS and on macOS I use Quicktime.
My audio interface has a loopback function so I use that to capture the computer's audio into whatever is recording the video. You could also use virtual audio cables. I don't remember what I used on Windows but on macOS I've used Loopback. There's also Black Hole for macOS which is free but I haven't used it myself. Also maybe Audio Hijack for macOS if you need more complicated setup (mixing multiple sources, add AU, etc).
Then edit everything with DaVinci Resolve if needed.

Yep.
This reminds me, I tried the whole Presonus Revelator
mic+mixing software, but went back to Rogue Amoeba Loopback. I also tried the MOTU M2 loopback but it combines the inputs which means I can’t edit the VO from my mic separately from the audio from the computer during screencap (iirc).

Yeah this only works for capturing a single source.
For capturing multiple sources I would record the audio separately in a DAW or audio editor or use Audio Hijack.

I do the same thing as soundbed, a Quicktime screen recording... I also use loopback to port sound directly from my DAW into Quicktime (Audio Hijack's another option) ... Quicktime even lets you deleted unwanted sections so it's pretty rare I find the need to get an editing program involved. Obvioulsy if you're not on a mac then other software is necessary, but for people who are on macos it's a no brainer.
EDIT: per Pier's comment above that's a good point. That's when I would record a voice over, then assemble in an editor.

Funny, I've been using Command+Shift 4 for years to clip screen shots for years, but I never realized it was also a video recorder!

Where in the OS do I go to select the audio input? Trying to using a headset at the moment.

Oh, I got it now! Under "Options" after opening it up with Command+Shift 5

In DaVinci Resolve you can do this by using video transform. Adjust the "pitch" control to make it lean back or forward.

I use nVidia’s built in screen recording software to get the video. Editing and effects are done in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
I make title cards in PowerPoint. It’s only weird if it doesn’t work, right?
