#169 Screencasting 101.1 at PCB5

In the last post I attached a PDF of the slides I used for a presentation on Screencasting I delivered a few weeks ago at Podcamp Boston. In this episode I've embedded a screencast that I made from the slides and the audio I recorded during that session. I've also included just the audio, which is part of the Video StudentGuy feed and will show up on iTunes if you're a subscriber. Chapters & Timecode: 00:00 Preface 03:50 Introduction 13:53 What is Screencasting 15:45 How to do it 21:20 Workflow 29:00 Tools 31:35 Screencast Demo 41:30 Screenflow and Captivate 44:25 Online Screencasting Software 49:10 Other Editing Tools 55:08 Suggestions from the audience 57:20 Closing thoughts The screencast was just too large to host on my Libsyn.com account. I don't know if I'll be doing enough of these to justify upgrading my account, so in the short term I'm going to look at TubeMogul and Blip.tv as a no cost solution. I'll let you know how that turns out. You can view the source video and also download a copy of the file here at Vimeo. I'm going to upload an updated version of this screecast in a week's time following a presentation I'll be making in New Haven at Podcamp Connecticut. And again, a week later following a third presentation at Podcamp New Hampshire. If your interested in screencasting I promise to make it worth your while to watch the next two screencasts because I plan to include some, maybe lots of new material. I'll note in the Chapters & Timecode section if there's new material.
