Camera

Overview

The Camera feature lets you record a video directly from your camera and overlay it on your video or interactive demo. You can also upload a pre-recorded video instead. Use this to add a personal touch, such as a face-cam narration or a presenter view, to your demo.

How to add a camera recording

1. Click Camera in the editor.

   • The Recording pane appears with a list of previously recorded videos (if any).
   • If videos already exist, click Add new.

2. Enable Hide other elements to hide every other element added in the timestamp.

3. In the Add camera recording pane, choose one of the following:

   Option	Description
   Record new	Record a video directly using your camera
   Select video	Upload an already recorded video from your library

4. In the Time field, enter the timestamp where the recording should appear. Use the Fine-tune milliseconds option for precise placement.

5. Select the desired camera and microphone from the dropdowns.

6. Click Start recording.
   A 3-second countdown begins before recording starts.
   

7. During recording:

   • Click Pause and Resume as needed.
   • Click the Retake icon to start over.
   • Click Discard to delete the current recording.
   • Click Stop to end the recording.

8. After stopping, click Save and continue. The system processes and adds the video to the demo.

9. If needed, click Record again to capture another recording.

Configuring the camera recording

Once saved, the recorded video overlays on the interactive demo. Use the right panel to configure it:

1. Enable the Hide other elements toggle for a distraction free editing.
2. In the Time field, enter the time at which the recorded video is placed.
3. Click Replace video to swap the current recording with another.
4. Click the Play icon to preview the recording.
5. Click Record new to capture a fresh video.

Managing recorded videos

Best practices

• Use a stable camera angle. Ensure your camera is steady and well-lit before starting the recording.
• Test your microphone first. Check that the correct microphone is selected to avoid silent or low-quality audio.
• Use the Fine-tune option for accuracy. When placing a recording at a specific moment, use millisecond precision to sync it with the demo action.
• Enable subtitles for clarity. If your recording contains speech, turn on subtitles to improve accessibility.
• Preview before applying. Always use the Play icon to review the recording in context before clicking Apply.
