Great content isn’t just about what you say—it’s about how you present it. Whether you’re teaching a tutorial, sharing behind-the-scenes content, or posting on social media, two things matter most: clarity and visual appeal.
That’s why I love pairing a simple, repeatable video recording process with a quick Canva text effect that instantly makes any design pop. Together, these techniques will help you create videos that look polished and engaging from start to finish.
Step 1: My Simple Workflow for Recording and Editing
You don’t need a big camera setup or complicated software to create tutorials and videos your audience will love. I record my screen and voice using Loom, then give the footage a branded touch in Canva.
In this tutorial I’ll show you:
- How to record your screen and audio at the same time
- Editing out pauses or mistakes so your video flows smoothly
- Adding your logo, colors, and titles for a consistent brand look
- Exporting in the best format for YouTube, social media, or clients

Here’s what you’ll learn:
