If you are on Windows, here's how you can set up the inbuilt Snipping Tool to get your videos processed by YakShaver!
Setting up Snipping Tool
- In your OneDrive Recordings' folder, create a new Folder called
SnippingTool
, i.e. OneDrive\Recordings\SnippingTool
- Press "Windows" and search for "Snipping Tool" to open the Snipping Tool app
- Go to Snipping Tool | Settings | In the "Screen recording" section
- Change the folder to the
SnippingTool
folder you just created - Include microphone input by default
Figure: Ensure that the folder location is set, and microphone is always on
Recording a video
- Press "Windows + Shift + R" to open Snipping Tool in Recording mode
- Select your recording window and record
- When done, stop the recording and wait for YakShaver to process the video
π Note: Wait a few seconds after the countdown for the start of the recording, as the first few seconds will get cut.
