Thing # 8: Still tweaking the screencast

There was a problem before with the screencast's size; it did not fit into the blog space. I tried again because Screencast-O-Matic allows you to embed code for three different sizes. The medium-sized picture was still too large. This is the smallest one. It is called "tiny." and it is, too. It is too tiny to read, but it fits. You still have the option to click to see the full size at Screencast-O-Matic.com

I still didn't re-do the screencast, so that will have to be done at a future time; it is still sub-standard at this point, but I do know now how to perfect it!

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!
