I use the following.

Software Stack:

ScreenFlow for recording/editing. iMovie is garbage. ScreenFlow has a really robust set of keyboard shortcuts that makes editing easy. It's also very explicitly built for screencasts, exactly what it sounds like you want to accomplish. I tried starting with imovie to be cheap but the tool is just awful.

Google Slides (of all things) for generating very basic images/video thumbnails

OBS for any live streaming.

Physical Recording Tools:

- Blue Yeti mic (can be anything though)

- iphone XS Max + tripod + white wall (to record things that look more like talks - you probably don't need this)

Happy to answer any questions. Have been meaning to put together a basic how-to guide for a while. There are surprisingly few people talking about how to make great software screencasts.

I did not see this until too late. Thank you very much, it’s right on the nose. Keyboard control is essential for me too in this case.
