Hi. Just wondering if somebody can suggest a screen capture application that we can use to make J video tutorials/demos.
I currently use the free software: Wink by DebugMode which you can checkout here: http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ I normally use that product for technical support where I would simulate the problem and solution on my PC and send the "video" to the tech support people on the other side of the world. It actually works well since I would just dump the flash files in our Intranet FTP site. I was thinking about this since after watching Oleg's sample site I believe producing video tutorials to explain concepts and ideas behind J would be very very useful. One topic that this can cover is handling ranks. You see, when I was starting our, I've read about ranks but it only made sense to me when Chris actually opened a J session and "showed" it to me. A video tutorial could really ease a lot of learning curve for J newbie's. There are a lot of subtleties that isn't covered by the reading materials and would show up when you're actually mucking around a J session. Going back to my original topic, Wink would work but my experience with it is that a really useful video content averages from 20MB and above. Maybe somebody knows of an alternative product we can use? r/Alex ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sherlock, Ric [[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, September 12, 2009 1:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Jwiki] Video embedding Looks very good! > From: Oleg Kobchenko > > Instead of a "YouTube" macro, there is already EmbedObject > macro provided in MoinMoin.
