I occasionally use another small application called “KeyCastr” to show the keyboard shortcuts I’m using, but that’s something I use more when recording tutorial videos.
Mostly Adobe Premiere, but sometimes Quicktime or Snagit for something simple. I have tried Da Vinci Resolve, but I couldn’t get on with it, I am too used to Premiere.
When it’s just me, Open Broadcast Studio (OBS), I think I could write a separate post on my OBS setup, so that’s all I’ll say for now 😅. If I have guests then Restream studio, which is web-based. I am not a huge fan of doing things in the browser, but it’s simple for others to join, and gives me enough flexibility for setup, quality, and graphics. I also use it deliver my livestreams (via an RMTP feed) when I use OBS, so it’s multipurpose. It’s not cheap, but worth it, and they often have discount codes.
At simplest I increase the zoom level of windows to about 125-150% depending on how they look. This is generally only possible with browser windows or Electron-based applications (which I typically dislike, but in this case brings a positive). With other applications it can be a mix of using the macOS screen zoom, or just not having a very readable interface. Fortunately the main applications I show are browser windows, Visual Studio Code (Electron-based), and iTerm, which is highly customisable, and I have a profile specifically designed for live-streaming (I should release that 🤔) that increases font size, removes background transparency, and makes things clearer for people to read.
