Creating SaharaHex Videos

A Behind the Scenes Look

To showcase features and methods used in various projects, short videos have been created for the SaharaHex site. These videos highlight key functionalities and provide visual insights into the development process.

Tools Used:

A range of tools come into play in the video creation process:

AverMedia 2Plus – Used for video capture.
HitFilm Express – A user-friendly editor for slicing, adding effects, and enhancing content.
HandBrake – Helps compress video formats for easier distribution.
ElevenLabs – Provides voiceovers using AI-powered text-to-speech.

Editing & Enhancements:

Once captured, content is imported into HitFilm Express, where users can refine visuals, overlay elements, and apply effects that complement the narrative. The editor offers a broad selection of features, allowing seamless cuts, speed adjustments, and transitions.

For voiceovers, ElevenLabs’ Text-to-Speech tool ensures professional-quality narration. Users can customize voice settings, including tone, stability, and similarity, to create natural and engaging commentary.

To enhance audio further, background music can be incorporated using free tracks from the YouTube Audio Library. The mood-based search feature makes it easy to find suitable music, which can then be adjusted in volume, ensuring clear voice-over prominence.

Final Touches & Exporting:

The editor supports various templates and text overlays, allowing users to craft captions / messages, complete with animations. Fonts, colours, and layouts can all be adjusted to match the theme. Once the final edits are complete, exporting options include presets for platforms like YouTube, streamlining the upload process.

The result: good-quality, engaging videos that effectively communicate the core ideas behind SaharaHex projects.
