Screen Cast

Hey, does anyone know how to create a screencast? I need to create an informational/training video and thought this might do the trick.

I know I could use the new keynote, but I'm interested to see if there is a better way.

Thanks.

How I'm planning to enhance iShowU's output

I've always stumbled a bit trying to record the narration at the same time as recording the actual screen activity...So, I was pleased just now when I noticed that the new (to me) iMovie (which is superb, by the way) has a voiceover feature - you can narrate any clip.

Next time I do a screencast, I'll focus on the screen interaction only, bring the *.mov into iMovie, edit it down, and then record the narration.

Because I won't have to concentrate on talking, I'll also be able to bring mouse dimming effects from OmniDazzle as I'm recording the screen activity.

Let us know how you get on with your screencast.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
