Business Marketing with Nika

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? 🙂

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
I have simply been using a mic and my iphone for creating video content for the advertising videos i make for ConnectGenie AI, your equipment is great I am not there yet but hope to be
@busmark_w_nika how did your content journey began, what motivated you?
@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!
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.
