If you stumble over your words in a video presentation, hold still and
pause, collect your thoughts, and repeat what you were saying starting
from the last gap before you stumbled. Afterwards you can edit out all
the mistakes, sometimes without even a noticeable discontinuity if you
haven't moved too much and your video editing software is good at
fading. Knowing you can fix everything later takes a lot of the
pressure off. It might also be useful just to pause while you think of
what to say next instead of feeling like you always have to keep
talking as you would in ordinary conversation or a live lecture. You
can edit out the pauses too. For video editing software, I've read
good things about DaVince Resolve but my GPU isn't new enough to run
it. If you don't know what video editing software to use, avoid
analysis paralysis and just use Blender. I hope you'll post to HN
again when you have some videos done.
- techsin101 5y agoI've been dabbling with premiere pro it feels easy enough. lot of video tutorials, just look up what i want to do eventually stumble into searching right keywords. For audio audacity workflow was easier to edit out mistakes. Tip i learned from a youtuber is to record short sentences speak them 2x-5x and keep the best sentences. Sure it's a lot of editing afterwards but overtime hopefully one sentence will become 10 sentences.
