my favorite video editing programs
- Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing
- Descript (*affiliate link) for quick text-based video editing, adding interactive captions, and easily fixing any voiceover mistakes (without having to re-record!).
my favorite program for video recording and live-streams
I use Ecamm Live Pro (*affiliate link) for all my live-stream cooking demos, virtual cooking demos, and in-person workshops like this one. It's what makes it possible to share my phone and laptop screens for live, interactive demonstrations! It also allows me to have a multi-camera view all on one slide.
Additionally, I use it to record my cooking videos as a one-person production. It allows some to view my video shots for a more efficient workflow, and all videos get saved to my computer for easier storage management!

tripod
I've tested other entry-level tripods for phones and recommend this one to start with (it works for overhead or top-down shots too):
- 70" tripod and phone clamp (*affiliate link)
The one we used during the workshop is listed below, but I wouldn't recommend it since the arm shakes and makes it more difficult to record stable video footage.
wireless mic
When you're ready to upgrade on sound quality, I use this Rode Wireless Go II mic (*affiliate link) for my voiceovers and during virtual speaking engagements. It can be connected to a phone (check their site for compatibility – you may need to purchase a separate wire connection) and to mirrorless cameras. You'll hear a big difference in sound quality compared to the mics we used during the workshop!
