Thing # 8: Do as I Say

For your reading enjoyment, let me explain what you should do--not necessarily what I did!

  • Use Screencast-o-Matic because it is free, requires no downloads and is simple to use
  • Prepare a script so you know what you want to say
  • Practice, practice, practice until you can perform your little operation without stumbling
  • Use the built in audio quality/volume test
  • If you are not satisfied with the result of your screencast, discard it and create another one or go back to add more or cut down
  • If you are satisfied with your screencast, upload it to YouTube or Screencast-o-Matic or export it
  • You can export it as a movie to My Videos as a .avi and it will play on Windows Media Player
  • You can embed your screencast as AVI, MPEG, QuickTime, Real, and Windows Media 100 MB maximum size
  • Embed your screencast in your blog by going into Edit Html mode, clicking on the video icon, and selecting your video
  • Click that you agree to the terms, and upload your video
  • Enjoy viewing your screencast without embarrassment!

Yes, I completely agree - excellent list of appropriate steps. It's harder than it looks to made one.
