Tell us YOUR story of creating a video!

[EmoHaircutMan]

Hello everyone!
I started this topic because I am very curious on how other people create their videos! I will tell you how I am creating a tutorial video. The "format" I use goes like this:
[CAMERA RECORDING] -> [SCREEN RECORDING] -> [CAMERA RECORDING].

1. I record myself how I say Hello to the audience and shortly talk about what will be in the video.
2. I record myself how I say Thank you for watching and all of that jazz...
3. Then I record my screen in Camtasia Recorder, open in Camtasia Studio, edit it and render it.
4 Then I open Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and put all the clips together with the intro, cut out the parts that are not needed, add something if needed, add music and then watch the video 2 times.
5. Then I render the video.
6. And I render it again (there are 2 types of renders in Premiere ).
7. Then I upload it to YouTube (DUH).

The whole process of record + record screen + edit + render (2 times) + upload takes me ~5-6 hours.
Feel free to share your story of creating a video!

Holy baloney, that's alot of steps I suddenly feel quite lazy hahaha!

I load up the game, and Screenflow (which does all of my audio and screen (and even Facecam should I ever want it). Then I play for 10-15 minutes, talk utter nonsense and make a lot of silly noises, and spend about 20-30 minutes editing in Screenflow, then I render. The rendering only takes about 15 minutes, even in 720!

That's it haha. See? So LAZY

1. Turn on Camtasia.
2. Turn on Fraps.
3. Record facecam and gameplay simultaneously.
4. Edit in Camtasia.
5. Render.
All together takes me about an hour and half to complete the process.

okay so for most of my videos i get gameplay relating to the topic i am talking about in the video.
1. record gameplay from game using my elgato
2. export it and import it into my editing software
3. audjust the game audio to a lower setting
4. record my voice over (usually takes a few times to get it perfect)
5. watch the video and see if i like it if not scrap and restart
6. make sure there are no bugs in the video or audio
7. upload it to youtube

Ahahah wow that's quick xD That's the problem with me, if I try to create something quickly, s#!t comes out, and I don't always have the 5 or 6 hours of free time to create videos so then what comes out is that I don't create a video or I upload 1 or rarely 2 videos a week xD

Well my videos are basic. It's just me drawing.
Anyway
1- I set up my tripod and dslr camera. I place it upside down to the view taint so I can be flexible and comfortable when I paint
2- I paint and record (because my card is 8gb and it finished fast on a dslr (lasts half an hour) I keep on going back and forth to upload the clips to my computer then come back and record
3- when my painting is finished I take a picture of it
4- to encourage my users to watch the video until the end, I place a small clip of my kitten at the end of the video (because she's cute and everyone wants to see her)
5- I upload everything on the computer, I use windows live movie maker
6- as I had recorded my clips upside down, I flip them so that u can see the recording the right way round.
7- I then fast forward all of my clips. ( I try to never go over 5 mins because it might bore the viewer.
8-I then put all my video clips in order
9- I place music /music effects and intro and annotations (I like to rate my work and say how kind it took to make)
10-save and upload
