Several times I was asked what I use when creating videos.
Today, I will interview another guest and it requires some tools and gear that I use.
SO...
Look at my stack:
Hardware:
📷 Camera: Sony Alpha A7 III + Lens: SONY FE 28–70 mm f/3.5
🎤 Mic: Rode Wireless Go II
💻 Notebook: Mac Apple M1 Pro
🔌 USB C cable to reconnect Mac with Sony
🗼 Sometimes tripod
Software:
Imaging Edge Desktop – Remote: I control output from the camera on my Mac screen
OBS: Recording the screen and audio on Mac
Google Meets: This is where the interview is held
CaCcut + DaVinci Resolve: Edits in video
Clipwing: Searching for the best parts of the video
TimeStamper: To label time stamps
Figma + Canva + Photopea: Creating a thumbnail
ChatGPT: To improve some texts or ask additional questions
And maybe much more, e.g. (I use Trello for ideas, Notion for text preparation on social media or Google Docs for questions I share with a guest).
If you dedicate some time to video creation, what do you use? 🙂

lighng is crucial for video quality. I use softbox lights to create a well-lit environment for recording, along with natural light whenever possible to give my videos a professional look.

Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika I am trying to collabrate with people for podcasts specifically related to building personal branding on Linkedin, do you think this would be something that interests you?
Google Meets is the best!
How about the lights? Big difference in quality.
Your setup is solid!
I only do short videos for LinkedIn and X.
Here's what I use:
iPhone 15 Pro (the 13 worked great too)
MacBook Air
— random $10 LED ring light
— random $20 wireless mic
— big table lamp from my wife’s desk
— Xiaomi tripod for my phone
It’s not fancy, but it works for short videos.
And I leep it simple for editing:
— ScreenStudio if it’s a video with screen sharing
— CapCut for final edits
— Figma for all design work (most plugins you need are there)
— Notes for text
— Zoom for calls

@kostyabolsh In software quite similar to me but I need to reconsider light setup (I already have) but it is huuuuge :D cannot fit in a spot. But Re iPhone 15 Pro (it takes better shots than a regular camera) :D are you planning to start with YouTube too? :)

Have you tested any tool to generate shorts from long forms videos?

@fabian_maume Yes, ClipWing mentioned. Also, other tools still need to be changed manually because some parts seemed to be more suitable for the context.
