Technical notes

The recording was produced using zoom, which was incredibly easy and gives reasonable resolution. To do this, start a zoom meeting and then share the desktop, not the Powerpoint window. Doing this will let you use your mouse as a pointer. I recorded to my local machine, not the zoom cloud. I made a mistake in the middle so it is actually two halves stitched together. To clip and join mp4 files I used the Format Factory programs which you can get here. This is much, much quicker than standard video-editing software because it doesn't build a new video and recompress it, it just concatenates mp4 files. I recommend this as a fairly painless way to produce pre-recorded lectures.
