Yes. Use OBS for recording. Capture at 3840×2160 (4K) resolution, set bitrate to at least 5,000 kbps. I use a Sony A7C camera, edit in Premiere Pro, and enhance audio with Oonic (available at toic.com).
My camera is a Sony A7C and my microphone is a Samsung QTU. The perceived quality comes largely from AI post‑processing using the Phononic library for mixing and mastering. I also test each module iteratively—adding one, verifying inputs/outputs, then adding the next—to quickly isolate errors when debugging.
I record with a Sony A7 III (and sometimes the A7 C) paired with a light bar. I use an XP‑Pen tablet for drawing, a Samson Q2U microphone, and the Auphonic service to clean up the audio. For on‑screen annotations I use Presentify on macOS. The camera is high‑end but not required; you can get decent results with cheaper gear.
I record with OBS Studio, using a Sony A7C camera for video and a window‑capture setup. I have multiple scenes – a main camera view, a screen‑share overview, and a blurred screen‑share for confidential info.
To run my OBS setup, I use OBS Studio as the core platform. I have a scene configuration with a few sources: my camera (Sony A7C connected via HDMI), a shadow filter for depth, screen capture of my monitor, another shadow layer, and my microphone (a Samsung QTU). I use hotkeys—Command+Shift+1 to switch to screen capture and Command+Shift+2 to return to my talking‑head view—so I can jump between full‑head, screen‑share, and blurred‑screen scenes quickly. The monitor is set up with nice margins so the OBS UI doesn’t show ugly bars, and I adjust the display resolution as needed. I keep the production simple: minimal cuts, few edits, and mostly just me in my room. This approach lets me record content at a roughly one‑to‑one ratio—five to ten minutes of recording yields five to ten minutes of finished video—because I prioritize speed over flashy production. I believe that as AI makes stunning visuals easy, audiences will value human presence and authenticity more than polished effects, so I keep the setup straightforward and focus on delivering value quickly.
