24. Plan your TouchCast
On a planning sheet write your script, which includes: narration in the teleprompter, vApps-to-be-added,
whiteboard interactions, etc.
Preparation before recording
Paste or type the narration into the teleprompter. Bring vApps into the vApp tray. Pick your background/s,
if using a green screen. Prepare titles and whiteboards.
Record your clips
Tap the record and pause buttons to create clips without vApps.
Edit your TouchCast video.
Your clips can be edited, trimmed, duplicated or deleted. You can now “add vApps” to clips and re-record
them in the Studio with the vApps. You may also add titles, whiteboards and effects at this point. You can
import videos from different resources or a previous project or you can go back to the studio and record
more.
Export and Publish
When you are done, export your TouchCast and publish it to your channel. You can also choose to save
it locally on your iPad.
