My. Dude. THANK YOU for this. My wife is a Nurse and has a great idea for education platform, and this is the GOODS we were looking for.

Wow, Samuel! I just did it on my iPad Pro using iMovie app and it worked!
- screen shot my note taking using the black template
- added the video on my existing video as CUTAWAY
- highlighted the video (note taking) and then clicked OVERLAYS then I added volume on STRENGTH and voila! It worked just like how you present it!

🎯⚡💪🏽Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. 05:07 Don't know about iPad, but if your tablet screen records sound as well: 1. turn screen record on with sound...then turn on the camera. 2. While both are on, make a loud noise or clap before you start talking. This will cause a spike in the recording's "audio visual". 3. Use the spike in the audio visuals on both the screen recording and talking head to sync them in your editor. 4. Turn off, delete, or turn down the audio for the tablet/iPad recording in your editor. Do this (2 - 4) for every segment of the video you will be using.

Great vid. Little Editing tip for Samuel. Once you put the screen recording above the primary timeline, highlight it and hit Command+G, which will make it a secondary timeline. This will make it just like the magnetic timeline so you don't have to cut, drag etc. Just blade and delete and the gaps will fill automatically 👍

Your video literally saved my bachelor thesis product. I was planning to incorporate this style of drawing in my video, but it just would not work in premiere. Then I was notified about your upload, watched it, downloaded the Final Cut Trial and spent the night editing everything in Final Cut. The results were perfect! Thank you so much!

Samuel deserves a Grammy Award for his educational videos. Please do not stop asking them.

If you record the audio n the iPad well, you will find it easier to match up the two clips. It’s easier to line up the clips by looking at the audio spikes.

Bro, seriously, your videos brings joy, happiness and new learnings to many of us 🙏🙏 . You have made study fun and enjoyable ❤❤🙏🙏

I really needed this tutorial at this time 🙂 Thank you 🙂 I am creating a course and this is a much better way of presenting my writing notes and speaking to the camera. This is a massive help and solution for me 🙂

Thanks Samuel for demystifying how to overlay handwritten notes in videos, will definitely explore this for my own content creation :)

[paperlessmove]

Great video! I have two tips to further improve your workstream:
1. Screen record your iPad with Mic on (long press record button to activate). This allows you in Final Cut Pro to sync the two clips perfectly.
2. When you change the blend mode to Add, simply change the Opacity below in order to bring back the black background. This will save you time by adding the extra screenshot.
You are welcome ;)

I’ve been professionally making videos for 12+ years … and even just the title of the video made me realize how I can work this unique idea into my videos. Nice dude!

Absolutley amazing! Thanks for sharing this. For educational type of content this is amazing. I might have to try it in a video.

[antongrimm]

Thank you so much for making these videos, Samuel! It’s amazing to get a glimpse into your creative process! I love your eye for the little things, I would really love to see more of this! Something like the process of designing a presentation would be great, or even how you plan a video! Keep up the phenomenal work, its always super inspiring :)
