If you really want to stand out as a professional, it doesn't matter whether you are a content creator or an online coach. A step up like this will change everything. Setting up a camera to record yourself and do screen recording with a software for the best quality. You can now edit this yourself or with an editor (please share it with your editor). By doing this, you will stand out from 80% of the other people. Here's how I create these videos and edit the multicam recordings in Davinci Resolve in this blog post or video. It can be quite complex, but this is one of the fastest methods. Additionally, I offer editing services for content like this or short form content for social media. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

1. How to record a coaching session as multicam?

I am using a software called Detail.co which I have been using since the start of 2022. Since then, it’s a daily software I use for my 101 coaching sessions, filming YouTube videos and screen recording or creating easy social media content by using my phone or camera and recording all to my Mac in just seconds. I also have a separated video on my YouTube channel about this. Click here

Setting up the camera using CAM-LINK to connect the camera to the mac and then also record the screen while you not have to press record to the camera.

2. Setting up Detail for Multicam Recording

Detail setting for screen recording

Go into the Menu at Detail then Settings and Video Quality to set it up on LOW.

Video quality: (Bitrate)
Low 10 megabit (25 GB for 1-2 hours)
Medium 20 megabit (50 GB for 1-2 hours)
High 35 (150 GB for 1-2 hours)

After recording, I want to export the .XML to import it to the editing software Davinci Resolve.

Go to File -> Export Timeline -> Export Source video as XML. Done

3. Importing XML into DaVinci Resolve

Open DaVinci Resolve and create a new project then right click and go to timeline -> import as XML then you choose the location where the XML is located.

You'll see now 2 video and 2 audio files, plus a multicam project where the footage is stored and synchronized, and one xml file, which is the timeline.

4. Setting up Davinci Resolve for Multicam editing

To see the multicam window, adjust the screen to see it by clicking first in the right top corner, then choosing at the first window left the little icon in the left bottom corner from source to the multicam.

You can start editing the multicam video cutting from one camera angle to the other by choosing and clicking on the video 1 (camera) or video 2 (screen recording).

6. Creating Split-Screen

You can also create a simple split screen side by side in Davinci Resolve by using the crop function. Another fast option is by using Detail to create a side by side or vertical top and bottom view for social media.
