How to record a video of me solving the rubik's cube with pc timer?

[sharathkumar631]

I dont have a webcam but i have an android device
Is there anyway to show both my timer and me solving the cube

You could use your android device to record your cube and screen capture software to record the timer, then edit them together.

The alternative is using a camera angle that shows the cube and monitor in the same view, but make sure the timer text is large enough to see the time in the video.

This is a good example

Point the camera at you and the timer?

I'm really confused how that's not obvious.

Prop up your phone at an angle like the one linked.

I jam my phone between two cubes on the arm of the sofa, pointing across my shoulder at my laptop screen and cube.

Free solution for those without cameras and tripods!

I bought a 10 dollar tripod that was made for phones (might be 6 dollars idk). But I would try experimenting with trying to set up the camera with items in your house to prop it up first like what was said above.

I can never get a good angle if I try to include the timer, I have nowhere to prop it. I can however give an excellent view of my right hand
