@Mark Pritchard has a thread on advice for recording guitar videos https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/advice-needed-to-make-guitar-video’s.142648/
As always, I tried to push him towards reaper, we'll have to see if he goes there
Anyway, it gets asked fairly often how to do some kind of video where you have an AX8 direct signal combined with video. Here, I show how to do this in reaper. I only show the bare-bones basics. You can of course do much more with fades, zooming, picture in picture, etc. If you wanted to blend a microphone signal (speak) with the direct AX8 signal that would be fairly easy as well. Reaper cannot do everything, you might want to do to a video. There are tasks, where I have to resort to a real video program (Color grading comes to mind), but I find that Reaper suffices for 95% of my video needs. I would probably always do the editing in Reaper, since I am much more familiar with Reaper than any video software package, so I can work much faster with Reaper.
Here is the editing video (which was also itself edited in reaper)
And here is the final edited video
And as you can see, I forgot to lock the exposure on my phone, so the video is changing brightness, which is super annoying. So PRO TIP: Remember to set and lock the exposure on the phone before recording the video.
