Week 5

Screencast  ​

After reviewing several options for animations, including Doodly and Animaker, I decided to do a screencast for this week’s assignment. This type of video will be most useful for demonstrating content for my course. The module aligns with the objective, “Apply AI Tools in Drafting Resumes.” 

 

Before beginning the screen recording, I wrote an outline for the video, created a sample resume, found an appropriate job posting on Indeed, and tested out my prompts in ChatGPT. I created a tab set to use during the recording so switching between documents would be smooth. I used Quicktime to do the screen recording, which was very easy. Once I had recorded the screencast sections, I created intro and outro slides in Canva, and imported all the media into iMovie to edit. I had originally planned to do voiceovers in iMovie but decided that the ElevenLabs voiceovers sounded much more professional. After editing in iMovie I exported the movie and downloaded it to YouTube. 

 

To address accessibility, I added closed captions manually in YouTube. Because I had written out a script to use in ElevenLabs, I was able to copy that text into the subtitles section of YouTube, which made the process much faster. 

 

Tools used: QuickTime (screencast), Canva (intro/outro slides), ElevenLabs (voiceover), iMovie (editing), and YouTube (closed captioning and posting).
