Thanks @Abbie, glad and pride to be part of this big community!

If your course is free you don't get any money...

MassimilianoAlf · ‎06-02-2020

Just put a write at the end of your video where you used the music, something that says: "Music by www.thewebsitewhereyoutookthemusic..."

MassimilianoAlf · ‎01-20-2020

Thx Milad, I added the free resources.

Hi, welcome and congrats for your course! Wish you a lot of success here with Udemy!

Hi, about intro and outro videos yes you can put your link there. About website links in resources you can add them only if they are needed for the lecture... for example in the lecture you talk about something that is on a page of Wikipedia then you can add the link to that page.

Maybe it is damaged, give it back and take another USB microphone, anyone can be good. If I remember well there's also one made and sold by Amazon that is not bad.

This is the 2018 vesrsion for Mac, if your version is 6 years old is normal it will look different.

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.

Hi, I will tell you my thoughts: The right part of your face is too dark... I don't know if you did it with a purpose or just didn't put a light but it's kinda intimidating, I would suggest you to put a light there... As it is a promo I would put some music in background, I noticed that you have something but it's too low and also is a wrong type, to me it would be better a music with some rhytm... I noticed you change outfit during the video... it's kinda disorienting, I would stay with just one shirt during all the video As it should be a promo video 4 minutes is too long... try to make it a 2 minutes video. Anyway the quality of the video is very good, I like it... good job!

And your cats will be happy too! 😄

Hi Graham, I just did a major update for my camera, till now I shot with a Logitech webcam and I have to say it did a great job but now I wanted to change with something more professional and I bought a mirrorless Sony A6500. It should arrive in some days and I'm pretty excited about it! 😄

MassimilianoAlf · ‎08-15-2019

To record yourself you will need a software like QuickTime or Camtasia or Obs or something like this... in all these softwares you can set the font for your audio, so instead of having internal microphone you can choose your audiocard or your usb microphone or whatever you use for your audio recording.

MassimilianoAlf · ‎07-27-2019

Thanks for the suggestion, I've added them!

Hi guys, I thought it could be useful to publish a list of shortcuts by keyboard for moving inside the Camtasia different panels, so here it is: Media Bin is the panel where all files used in your project are showed... to view that you'll use the "B" key in your keyboard Media Bin = Keyboard Key: B Library panel has all the intros and music... the key to go directly there is the "R" Library = Key: R Annotations is the panel with all the objects you can use to make annotations and pointers... the key is "N" Annotations = key: N Transitions is the panel with all the transitions you can use in your videos... the key is "T" Transitions = key: T Behaviors is the panel with all the movements with intros and outros you can give to things in your video... the key is "O" Behaviours = key: O Animations is the panel where you can add an animation to your video like scale up or scale down... the key is "A" Animations = key: A Cursor Effects is the panel with the effect to add to your cursor... the key is "U" Cursor Effects = key: U Voice Narration is the panel where you can add a voice over your video... the key is "V" Voice Narration = Key: V Audio Effects is the panel where you can add effects to your audio... the key is "D" Audio Effects = Key: D Visual Effects is the panel where you can add effects to your video (like chroma key)... the key is "X" Visual Effects = Key: X Interactivity Panel is where you can add quizzes to your video... the key is "I" Interactivity = Key: I Gesture Effects is where you can add effects to your mouse gestures... the key is "G" Gesture Effects = Key: G As usually if you want to add something to this list or if you want to modify something or simply correct some errors that I could have done (English is not my primary language), you're welcome to do it, just leave a message and I will correct it. Hope this can help someone to work better and faster! Ciao Massimiliano

Why should you reduce your video quality when there is the Udemy system that does that once you upload your video?

MassimilianoAlf · ‎06-30-2019

Hi George, welcome, you should specify what kind of help you need so people could give you some hints.

MassimilianoAlf · ‎06-21-2019

Hi guys, today I feel like to give an advice to all the people that are working on their first course, the hint is: "Just don't give up until your course is out there"! I know that sometimes you'll feel discouraged and maybe you'll think that it could be wasted time... but also think about this... maybe it is not wasted time... maybe your course will be a success and this will bring more courses from you (because of the new enthusiasm) and so more success and more money.... A successful instructor of today is an instructor that yesterday did not give up... Take care all of you and a lot of success! Massimiliano

Usually it is good if you keep the pop filter at about 5 cm from your mic and about 10 cm your mouth from your pop filter, but also, as Daniel said, you should make some tests and find out your perfect distances.

MassimilianoAlf · ‎06-13-2019

Hi there, good luck with your first course!

MassimilianoAlf · ‎06-09-2019

To resolve your problem is pretty simple, you have to low the gain of your mic while recording...

MassimilianoAlf · ‎06-02-2019

Hi, you can use Camtasia to do that but it's not free, otherwise, you can use a free software like OBS.

MassimilianoAlf · ‎05-23-2019

Lots of great people in there!

MassimilianoAlf · ‎05-21-2019

Nice post, thanks for that!

MassimilianoAlf · ‎05-17-2019

Hi Emily, I'm actually working on a complete guide to produce a great Udemy course for italian market. My course is pretty complete, I talk about everything in it... equipment, SEO, course management and so on... the course is completly in italian though. I can say I'm about at 1/4 of the road... but still have a lot of work to do... I think I will be able to publish it at the end of the month.

MassimilianoAlf · ‎05-14-2019

I totally agree!

MassimilianoAlf · ‎05-10-2019

Thanks for sharing this @KarolyNyisztor ! But I can't unsee that you avoided to suggest me the right word... english is not my language so it would have be helpful... (I hope I wrote this the right way)... 😉

MassimilianoAlf · ‎05-06-2019

One suggestion I have is: try to be true, put your best in your first course, make it precious for who will buy it and it will bring you back the enthusiasm and the energy to keep creating new courses.

MassimilianoAlf · ‎05-04-2019

Hi Steve, thanks for your proposal, but it requires a email registration to get the free stuff and this goes against Udemy rules... if you'll offer free music without any type of registration I will be happy to add your site.

MassimilianoAlf · ‎05-01-2019
