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.
