3. IntroductionEvery time I present around the world, I demonstrate equipment that I use and the
most common request is to provide a list of resources.
I have spent a lot of time researching and in this book share resources I would
recommend as well as the links for where to buy them.
Most of the links are on Amazon as this is normally the best place to find the
equipment. On many of the other links I have used bit.ly to shorten them.
All the links are live, so if you click on them it will take you to that web page.
I always suggest that you try to source the equipment where you live locally.
For this book, I have used Amazon links in the USA as they normally have the best
selections.

8. Cameras
There is a huge selection of cameras
that work well for video.
In this section I share the equipment
that I use as well as the latest and
greatest at reasonable prices.
• DSLR Cameras DSLR cameras (that
“stands for digital single-lens reflex”)
are the most popular types of cameras
(for both photography as well as
filming video) and will continue to be
for quite a long time
• Video Cameras: Always get the
highest quality camera and ensure
that they have an external
microphone jack
• Mini Cameras: I always carry a
small camera for things like video
testimonials. The latest phones
now take great videos, just ensure
that you carry an external
microphone.

a studio in Manchester to hundreds of fitness clubs around the world.
73
77. Autocue
Some time ago I attended a TV presenters course at Pinewood Studios (James
Bond, Harry Potter movies)
It was a huge lesson for me. When I was in front of the cameras I presented as if I
was speaking to an audience. They ripped me apart….for all these years I had been
doing it wrong.
They told me that when I was in front of the camera, I should speak to one person
only, as only one person would be watching the video.
This has been a big lesson, so now all my articles, blogs and videos as well as my
social media platforms are written and presented as if it is to only one person.
I also told the course presenters that I never use autocue, just presented ‘on the fly’.
Once again I was severely reprimanded…
They told me that every TV show uses autocue and I went on a step learning curve.
I now know what I want to say, but use autocue for prompts and guidance as I
would rather the energy came from me speaking than reading.
This is a personal preference, I know many video presenters that use autocue well.
The one thing I discovered was that autocue equipment is expensive.
I bought a huge, bulky, expensive piece of equipment and was always in fear that I
was going to break the glass.
76
78. Autocue
I now have a much better solution, I set up my Ipad just underneath the camera lens
and use a wonderful app called ‘Best Prompter Pro’
I sometimes also use my PowerPoint shows as prompts and connect my laptop to
my Ipad using the Duet Display App.
This way I can still use my clicker to move forward and when I edit, I can insert the
relevant PowerPoint slides into a TV screen that is next to me in my Greenscreen
recording
.

122. Software
I use both a PC and a MAC, but tend to do most of my video editing on my PC
(habit).
There are great resources out there that are free and some that are extremely
complicated and expensive. You really need to use what works with your level of
expertise and how much time you want to put into learning how to use the software.

124. My Favorite…
Camtasia
By far my favourite video editing software is Camtasia. I have it installed on my PC
and my MAC and have been using it for years.
I also use their screen capture (I have been using it for most of this book) software
called Snagit.
I suggest you get the bundle of the two products from TechSmith -
http://bit.ly/screencam
123
125. Why Camtasia
Camtasia is the most feature-rich screencast tool out there that also includes a full-
blown video editing software.
It offers you all the standard recording options, so you can record your entire screen
or a portion of the screen, record the system audio along with your microphone
audio, and combine all these streams with the webcam feed.
You can also pause and resume while recording; plus each of the streams is
recorded as a separate track, so they can be edited separately and combined with
flexibility.
When it comes to video editing, you get all the basic capabilities like trimming,
splitting, or the ability to merge two videos.
On top of that, it offers you advanced multi-track editing capabilities, so you can
superimpose multiple layers of images and video streams on a single video page to
create a rich video experience.
But where Camtasia really stands out is in its video enhancement features. So, you
get a starter library of elements that includes icons, motion graphics, music tracks,
etc.
You can record with a green screen and easily replace your video background and
add all kinds of annotations and comments, visual effects for transitions, cursor and
mouse effects, etc.
It also allows you to add elements like hotspots and quizzes inside your videos
which help make them more interactive.
Another thing I like about Camtasia is the audio effects it provides, so you can
achieve things like removing background noise, audio compression, modify clip
speed, etc. pretty easily.
In terms of export options, you can produce videos as MP4, EVI, or a GIF and store
them either locally or directly upload them to all the standard places like Dropbox,
Google Drive, YouTube, etc.
As far as system compatibility is concerned, you can use Camtasia on both
Windows and Mac, and you can also use it for recording your iOS device directly by
connecting it to a Mac.

Take a look at this article on the Top 10 Best Platforms To Publish and Sell
Your Online Courses, Reviewed and Compared - http://bit.ly/onlinecomparison
Udemy – this is probably the biggest site for you to sell your products. When I
started selling my video courses online, I started with Udemy. I have now moved
totally away from them as they discount your courses by up to 90% -
https://www.udemy.com/
Teachable – used by many of my friends and reasonably priced -
https://teachable.com
Thinkific – another popular platform - https://www.thinkific.com/
Kajabi – after trying various platforms, I settled on Kajabi. It is a huge learning curve
when you start using it, but I love it as it is a ‘all in one’ platform. It has website and
landing page templates and so much more and great payment platforms as
well….just see the money land into your account. Highly Recommended -
