Editing Tips Screencast
March 27th, 2012 by Greg R Notess
For those of you creating screencasts with software that includes editing capabilities (Camtasia Studio, Captivate, Screencast-O-Matic Pro, etc.), here is a quick, one-minute video from Techsmith with several tips on when to use certain techniques. In particular, it covers
- Using annotations to reinforce audio instructions,
- Using zoom to draw attention to important actions, and
- Adding transitions to show the passage of time
If (like me) you missed the first screencast in this series, video tip #1 covers four excellent basic tips on recording:
- Write a script before recording
- Run through your plan at least once without recording
- Be mindful of where your cursor is
- Speak with a fun, natural and easy to understand tone
and the post also includes links to an example script and blank template.
