How do I begin screencasting?
What do I need to screencast?
On this wiki page: Screencasting 584projects, there are several programs listed and described that enable you to screencast. Some do not require download while others do; however, they are very simple to use and quick downloads.
Below, you will find my first screencast:
Wow, creating tutorials and screencasting is not easy! I did several screencasts before I finally uploaded two videos. I found myself having to script what I was going to say in order to fulfill the 5 minute limit that Jing enables me to work with. I suppose that would be the only downfall to using Jing-the fact that it only allows you 5 minutes. Then again, many of the best attention grabbing videos are less than 2 minutes. However, I am not a screencasting pro yet!
You might notice that on the Prezi Basic screencast I am speaking quickly. Only reason being is Jing allows you to see how much time you have left and whether you are about to reach your 5 minute limit. I was close to reaching that limit which is why I was speeding up towards the end!
Please post any questions you have about Prezi if you did not understand something on the screencast!
