Ha! This is the limit. I cannot invest time now to post process. I have to invest time to learn how to get the components and my production methods together in a smooth workflow.
Good to know. This is where I need to head first. Get awards (accolades) from the students for the content without the presentation tools getting in the way. Then, up the game by improving the quality of presentation tools and methods (i.e. post processing).
In this regard, I already have an assembly of software recording tools, Camtasia and perhaps Ecamm, lined up. When I would start adding different or yet more software to this mix, I will honestly play around too much and never get my real work done by the time it is due.
I have a BlueParrot 250-xts headset that has improved audio quality on my “live” lectures. I will keep using this even with the new mic because it gives me some freedom to “bounce around” during the live lectures. I just hope to be able to avoid wearing a headset (or having a mic in the picture) for asynchronous videos.
I am actually thinking of the ATR2100x with the boom setup, if for no other reason that it adds the ability to use XLR later.
But, if the mic will be in the picture regardless, I might just step back (figuratively speaking) and focus on the workflow.
In case it matters, I will be using my iSight camera on my MBP until I can get a trusty 1080p webcam (e.g. the Brio). I’ve got iCamera to narrow the FoV and expect Ecamm to help there too.
Certainly, I can crop stuff later in Camtasia, and with some forethought, might be able to arrange the mic on the boom to be “close enough to crop out”. Absent that I post-process to cut off my head, I won’t be able to crop out a headset. (Ha!)
