A note about the resolution/size: don't use regular screen size - videos will likely be played in smaller resolution/embedded in website and not fullscreen. So if you can read fine in 1080p monitor, doesn't mean you can read it if the video is played back in 720p - so that also should be kept in mind. So if your desktop provides it, use a scaling factor to enlarge LO/the icons/everything. And if you're doing a video without a voice-over, make sure to add a background soundtrack. Use youtube's music library or find a suitably licensed song yourself. Don't upload completely silent videos :-) use a lossles codec to record your screen if you have the diskspace available. h264 is pretty efficient in lossless mode for mostly static content - but what format to use also depends on what post-processing you want to do. But rather use a lower framerate than have a washed-out/blocky video if your computer cannot keep up with the recording. you don't need 60fps for a screencast :-) ciao Christian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: marketing+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
