# Introduction | |
I asked the community recently if they would like to have a video | |
tutorial about installing OpenBSD, many people answered yes so here it | |
is! I hope you will enjoy it, I'm quite happy of the result while I'm | |
not myself fan of watching video tutorials. | |
# The links | |
The videos are published on Peertube, but you are free to reupload them | |
on YouTube if you want to, the licence permits it. I won't publish on | |
YouTube because I don't want to feed this platform. | |
The English video has Italian subtitles that have been provided by a | |
fellow reader. | |

# Why not having used a VM? | |
I really wanted to use a real hardware (an IBM ThinkPad T400 with an | |
old Core 2 Duo) instead of a virtual machine because it feels a lot | |
more real (WoW :D) and has real world quirks like firmwares that would | |
be avoided in a VM. | |
# Youtube Links | |
If you prefer YouTube, someone republished the video on this Google | |
proprietary platform. | |

# Making-off | |
I rarely make videos, and it was a first time for me to create this, so | |
I wanted to share about how I made it because it was very amateurish | |
and weird :D | |
My first setup trying to record the screen of a laptop using another | |
laptop and an USB camera, it didn't work well | |

The first part on Linux was recorded locally with ffmpeg from the T400 | |
computer, the rest is recorded with the GoPro camera, I applied a few | |
filters with the shotcut video editing software to flatten the picture | |
(the lens is crazy on the GoPro). | |
I spent like 8 hours to create the video, most of the time was editing, | |
blurring my Wi-Fi password, adjusting the speed of the sequences, and | |
once the video was done I recorded my audio comment (using a USB Rode | |
microphone) while watching it, I did it in English and in French, and | |
used shotcut again to sync the audio with the video and merge them | |
together. |
