Question / Help Creating Tutorial Videos with a professional touch

[jay.pyne]

Apologies in advance if this has been answered in the past threads. I spent the entire day looking for pointers.

Before I write off or bail out of OBS after playing around for a week, I need to create a mp4 tutorial of about 8 minute clip.

1) The first is a 30 sec. mp4 clip exported from Office 365 PowerPoint. Lets not get bogged down with fps for now. All clips are set to 30.

2) I want to play a short background audio clip on the intro slide, which is a 29-sec mp3.

3) In the end, the display capture clip with external microphone. I am all good here. I have recorded the display for 7 mins 30 secs. OBS at least does a good job here.

I am stuck with #1 & #2. I had even embedded the .mp3 inside PPT and exported into .mp4. OBS previewer is not playing the audio sound. I followed the steps of adding "Media Source" in Sources, but to no avail.

Basically, need to combine the intro .mp4, the .mp3, and the display capture .mp4 into a SINGLE .mp4. That's all.

If Camtasia Studio is the only way out, I will have no choice but to shell out that amount :) Thought of giving a last try with OBS Open Source pros here.

Best,
Jay

You've done your recordings, now you're looking for postprocessing software, or simply a video editor. This is a piece of software that enables you to cut, arrange and composite multiple existing video snippets and audio files into a final video. OBS is designed to create videos realtime, from life sources, for streaming purposes. A video editor is much more flexible if you want to produce a video, not a stream, because you don't need to record everything realtime. It uses existing video files as source only, nothing realtime.

You have one of the more easy video editors already already installed in Windows 10: Search for "Video-Editor" in the start menu.
There is a huge number of more video editors available, from free to several thousand Euros. The Windows Video Editor is probably sufficient for your first steps.
