screencast suggestions?

2 pointsrwebb3 comments

I'm launching an app soon and think a screencast would be very useful for users. I'm looked at demogirl.com but our users are going to be middle aged men using the service for business purposes...molly's peppy voice probably isn't a good fit. any other good services out there? or any good free software to do this myself? preferably for a mac?

I recently used http://www.shinywhitebox.com/home/home.html for this very purpose. I did a very simple demo of our application with me talking, merely for the purpose of showing a remote colleague what we were doing. Worked great.

If you go here: http://seankelly.tv/videos/tools-of-the-trade/ you'll see a great post about some good tools. This fellow created a nice cast of different web development frameworks that's become a must-see on the web. Might even post it here as a separate item for folks.

I second IShowU. Just do a fe test runs before really recording it. Check your audio levels and watch your final output size.

wow - awesome resources. thanks very much. that second one is legit!
