GIMP & Canva are great, free photo manipulation / editing softwares.

 

I've also seen folks use Trello, Asana & Google Doc/Sheets for course management and outlining.

I also want to add these Udemy-specific resources, based on questions we see frequently in the community:

Hi @JoyceWSolomon, it always depends on the site, sometimes you'll have to give credit to the author and sometimes you just can use it without credits. For the music, for example, if you use the music from Incompetech.com you'll have to give credit to the author, you'll find what to write right in the info of the song. About the photos, if you'll use the pictures from Pixabay.com, most of the time you will be free to use the photos also for commercial purposes without any credit, you will find about the license of the photo on the right of your screen.

Csnva can also be used for making PowerPoint slides too. There is so much that you can do with Canva. It's more than  just a photo editor.

thank you so much this is a great start.

This is amazing, thank you! I’m using a handful of these but it’s great to have some more!

 

I have one to add - I’ve found a free app that can be used as a autocue for the iPhone. There are loads, but many are paid. This is called ‘Video Teleprompter 3’. The app is red and black and is in the App Store for iPhone. You can pay to upgrade if you want more features, and it’s reasonably priced compared to a few others I found, but you don’t have to. 

Go to solution

Thank you for this - I will definitely look into Video Teleprompter because I don’t always have multiple screens to work from when I travel and record!

Go to solution

You’re welcome! I’ve tested it out recently both with my phone in landscape and portrait mode and it works well with both. You can adjust the text to get it just right so it doesn’t look like you’re reading anything!

Awesome, thank you very much!
