Software options for presentations

[ScottSnider]

I’ve had pretty good success recording presentations using PowerPoint share with presenter in a window. It can be a little challenging fumbling with the keyboard though and I’d like to try something a little different. I was hoping to just video tape my oral presentation by itself, and then use video software to switch back and forth between the full screen video of me presenting and pictures of my slideshow with my video presentation in an embedded window similar to zoom share (was hoping to make the window a little larger than the default size in zoom). Just wondering if anyone could suggest software options for doing this?

I usually record presentations using PowerPoint with the “presenter in a window” option, but managing the keyboard during the recording can be a bit awkward. I’d like to try something different: record myself on video separately, then use video editing software to create a final version that switches between full-screen video of me speaking and my slides, with my video embedded (a bit larger than the default Zoom style). What software would work best for this? Options like Camtasia, DaVinci Resolve (free but powerful), Adobe Premiere Pro, or OBS Studio (for live-style switching) could all work—it depends on your experience level and operating system.
