Course outline
Section 1: OBS Studio for video recording 101
We'll start with the fundamentals, learning what OBS Studio is and what it can do for you. We'll install it, run the auto-configuration wizard for recording, familiarize with the Graphic User Interface and with how OBS works.
Section 2: Build the skeleton of the video tutorial
You will design the backbone of your video lesson. We'll organize the OBS project in a clean and clear way by creating placeholders for the main sections of the tutorial:
Introduction
Body
Conclusion
You will further learn to work with nested scenes and to create a masked camera effect.
Section 3: Tutorial introduction
You will create a launch video in Canva (free version) that will serve as the first scene of your lesson. We'll then create scenes showing your full face camera, a lower third and the lesson objectives. Here you will learn using media and text sources in OBS and how to animate graphic elements.
Section 4: The body of the tutorial
This is the most content reach section where you'll learn all best practices to produce a professional tutorial. By the end of it you will be able to
record your screen
use a slideshow
add a second or third camera shot (e.g. overhead or wall view)
zoom in and out your screen (e.g. for software tutorials)
do graphic facilitation with an online whiteboard
annotate on screen
Section 5: Conclusion of the tutorial
Once you've created your content, it's time to recap and conclude the lesson. Here you'll learn best practices to do just that.
Section 6: Set up the audio
The content and the OBS project are ready. We now have to set up the audio to make sure it's recorded properly. Here we'll define audio recording tracks and format.
Section 7: Making production easier
When you hit the "record" button the last thing you want to do is to be distracted by looking at your screen. In this section you'll learn how to use hotkeys to make production easier and less stressful. And if you want to go pro, I'll introduce you to a tool you'll love: the Stream Deck
Section 8: Test and adjust settings
You're all set! Let's now do a test recording and, if needed, adjust the recording settings
Section 9: Course conclusion
Congratulations! You're now able to create professional video tutorials and lessons for your online courses. But the learning doesn't stop here! Continue your journey by practicing and checking future course updates.

Nice course to learn the basics. I knew nothing about the OBS Studio going in, but now feel confident that I can create amazing content.

Very useful course indeed. I learned a huge amount as a beginner from this course and I'm astounded by the power and abililities of OBS Studio. Enrico delivers the course in a straightforward, measured way. Not too fast or slow. If you only ever use this course, you will be able to make good video presentations with OBS Studio... highly recommended.

This is great and exactly what i need to get started. In fact, it will take me further than I expected it to get me. Excellent teacher. Thank you

Well-structured course. The presentations and explanations of the subject matters are second to none. However, the speaker should slow down so that the students can follow the course by working through and not just listening to the course.
By Prabhakar Kumar on 5/11/2023
Well explained. I really enjoyed this course. However this could be improvised more by adding few projects as an example and talking bit more about the functionalities in depth.
By Daniel Gomes on 5/5/2023
