 Do you want to learn how to create high quality video podcast with online guest interviews? You come to the right place. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to record a video interview using OBS with your guest or guests connecting via Zoom or other online platforms. Let's get started. In the previous video, link is in the description, I have covered the basics of recording audio. Why you need to wear a headset during the interview and how to create multi-channel audio. If you haven't watched that tutorial, I recommend you watch that before continuing with this one. In this video, I will show you how to set up the scene for the recording. Something like this. We create two frames for the host and the guest and add some context to the session. You can create fancy setup, but we will keep it simple and focus on the content. We can create this entire setup using OBS, but it will be complicated. I find it easier to create the frame using an image editing software. I normally use Canva because it is simple and it is free. To create the frame, go to canva.com. Once you log into your account, create a design with the same dimensions as your video project. There should normally be 1920 by 1080, which are the dimensions for full HD. To do that, click on custom size. For the width, type 1920. For the height, type 1080 and click create new design. Next, set a background color for your design. If you have brand colors, you can use that or any color of your choice. Let's add two frames for the host and the guest. You will find the frames under elements. Scroll down till you find shapes and select see all. This is the shape that I had in mind. You can resize it so that the borders are the right size. Once you are satisfied with the frame, you can right click, copy and paste. Let's add some text. You can add text by clicking on the text icon and choose a text box. Move it and replace the text with your own. You can change the color of the text. Let's make it white and let's add one more text box and our frame is done. Once you're satisfied, click on the download button and download it as a PNG file. We have a frame now. Let's move on to OBS. In OBS, start by creating a new scene. Click on the plus button and give a name to your scene. Let's call it interview scene. Click the OK button and we have a blank scene in front of us. Let's start by adding the frame that we had created using Canva. Click on the plus button to add a source and click on the image source. I can give a name to your image. I will call it interview frame. Click OK. For the image file, click on the browse button and navigate to your folder where you have downloaded the image from Canva. This is the image I created. Click open and click OK. I will add my camera in the first frame. Click plus once again, choose video capture device. I have already defined the camera earlier, so I can click on add existing. Choose my camera and click OK. And my camera view is now available in OBS. Move it and crop the image so that it fits within the first frame. We do that by holding the Alt key, resize and my camera is done. We can add some text boxes to identify each person. Click plus, select text, give a name to your text box. Let's call it host name. Type the name of the person. Click OK and resize the text and move it to the right place. You can change the font. Make it bold. In the same way, you can add a text box for the guest. If you want to provide additional information for each person, we can add more text boxes. And finally, let's add a text box to indicate the episode number. Let's say this is episode number one. We are almost ready. All we need now is the guest. To add the guest, let me launch my Zoom client and start a new meeting. I've launched the Zoom meeting and I've sent the meeting link to the guest. We will now wait for the guest to join our meeting. I can see that the guest has logged into the meeting but not yet ready. In the meantime, what I can do is click on these three dots and select pin. This will ensure that the video of the guest is fixed on my screen. My Zoom window is set up. Let me bring the video of the guest into the second frame. Click the plus sign and choose Windows Capture. Give a name to your window. Click OK. From the windows, choose Zoom meeting. In my case, I have to select the capture method as Windows Graphic Capture to ensure that the video is brought into OBS. Click OK. I can crop the window by holding the Alt key and move it to the second frame and further crop it so that it fits within the frame. Now we are ready for a guest to join our show. To create engagement during the interview, I have added one more scene where the focus will be only on the guest. Let me add that scene too. In this scene, the video will be only of the speaker. I will switch to this scene whenever I want the audience to see only the speaker and not my video. I switch between the scenes by clicking on the scene name like this. Looks like our guest has just joined us. I need to resize the frame. That looks good. Let me also check the second scene to ensure the framing is proper. That is perfect. We are all set to start our interview. Let me put on my suit. Don't forget the headphones. Very important. Once you are ready, all you have to do is click on the start recording button in OBS and you are good to go. The video interview is done. I will post a separate video of the interview itself just to give you an idea what the final result should look like using this setup. The video file created by OBS must be edited to add intro and outro music, remove unwanted pauses and add any supporting images if required. Video editing is beyond the scope of this tutorial. I use Da Vinci Resolve to do all my video editing but you can use any video editor that is comfortable to you. I hope you found this tutorial useful and I wish you all the best.
