If Haiku is not on your main machine, a good alternative to record Haiku videos is to use OBS on your main laptop/desktop machine :
If you own 2 machines the additional hardware is : video card capture + 1 HDMI cable + 1 microphone connected to your recording machine.
Limitation : sound recording from Haiku will not work via HDMI if I’m not mistaken.
The good news : the first price for video recorder hardware is not so expensive todays.
Upcoming article on Haiku Insider for the details 
I just boot into linux and then run my other disk in qemu, also works somewhat and requires no additional hardware : )
This is the way i do my videos :-).
Nice
I’ve played a little bit last week with OBS + iMovie on Mac and there are some nice templates available with iMovie to create nice advertising videos (« film « like)
Is the article right on there?
Same concept as @nephele. I run Haiku on a set of VMs under UTM and use the Mac’s native screenshotting/vidrecording ability. From there it is editing in iMovie and shrinking it down with HandBrake. The major problem with this is that big, resource-hungry apps like the new FireFox-based browsers run very slowly.
I have experimented with Haiku’s native vidrecording app, running a sound recording app at the same time and putting them together in editing. But the end product always looks like a badly dubbed Kung Fu movie. 
Yes the one regarding video recording.

In theory, there’s everything we need to make it right: BeScreenCapture, Sound Recorder, Medo, potentially also the tools to capture oneself video via a HDMI capture card.
What’s wrong specifically?
My mediocre video editing skills, no doubt.
An HDMI capture card is only needed if you want to record another system or console with a computer, i.e. the transmission to the monitor/TV.
This approach saves resources and makes videos smoother. When recording haiku over haiku, usually on older computers, your performance can suffer significantly.
If there were, for example, OBS for Haiku, recording on Haiku would be a nice feature. But it would require a lot of storage space.
This is just one of many use cases. You can send the clean HDMI output from a camera to a capture card. From there you can do several things: streaming, recording or using the output of the camera to show a thumbnail of yourself on, let’s say, the lower right corner and record the entire desktop or shoot multi-cam videos.
You could argue that this can be achieved with a webcam, generally speaking. But usually webcams don’t have suitable lenses and the right focal length to get a nice Bokeh effect or operate in low-light environments.
I have done that for ages with my Nikon D3100 paired with a 35mm lens (with a custom firmware to get clean output) or the Sony ZV-1.
If you’re serious about streaming or non-linear video editing you should get a powerful computer with a lot of storage and potentially with at least 16GB of RAM. That’s a fact. WRT the RAM it depends on the platform, I edit 4K videos on my MacBook Pro M1 with 8GB RAM without missing a beat, for example.
It looks hard to do that on old Core 2 Duo from the late 2000s…
Haiku on a pretty capable machine can do that quite easily.
OBS is designed for streaming not for LNE and I don’t see how the storage is related to using OBS. You need a lot of storage anyway, OBS or not.
To summarize, live streaming is a different beast which would require powerful hardware and dedicated software. Haiku is not there yet, but with a bit of creativity Cortex could serve as a lightweight replacement. If it does not crash, of course…
But for LNE, you can capture your desktop and other footage/sound recording from different sources off-line and edit with Medo.
I wonder if anyone has tried that Haiku-first approach before trying such a convoluted setup.
It was about haiku, so recording haiku on haiku. Older computers are mostly used here, not well-equipped modern computers.
Setting it up with OBS and an HDMI adapter isn’t complicated and was something I already had. So I use this method to make my haiku videos.
@michel A sharp sound is far easier to synchronise that lips. So try to use a clap, like they do for movies. If you’re recording a desktop, you will have to replace that by an action that generates a sound. In itself, it could be a reason to implement noisy window events…
