Re: [videoblogging] Best Option for Pic in Pic While Screencasting?
Hi Adam,
If you're looking for hacks with existing OSX tools I can't help you
but I'll offer this.
Some time ago I upgraded from ishowu to iShowu HD ($29.95 and $59.95
versions) which has the ability to insert a small window in your
screencast. Works pretty well but iShowU remains a processor intensive
app and I see dropped frames unless I keep other apps closed.
I've come across Screenflow more recently ($99 at
http://www.telestream.net/screen-flow/overview.htm
) and their trial version seemed more efficient and stable to me. I
like the presentation and various effects of Screenflow better and
it's also pretty low in cost like iShowU HD.
Camtasia @ $99 is finally available for the Mac and is certainly worth
a trial download as well.

started recording, which I don't want to do because I'm already
recording with iShowU.
Anyone have a tips?

If you can't use PhotoBooth or QT because you only want to see the
image of yourself, not the other controls, then I would record it
separately and insert it in FCP on top of the screencast. Then you
can crop out the edges, scale it, move it around, make it appear
disappear, etc.

Thanks Julian,
Hmmm. I am running iShowU HD Pro...I'm not seeing that insert window option. I
have a support request in, but maybe I just need to look harder...

Re: [videoblogging] Best Option for Pic in Pic While Screencasting?
If you record the QT video of you first, and play back it in the
screen while you record the screencast (instead of recording your face
simultaneously), you can get rid of the QT controls by going to Window
Show Movie Properties Presentation Movie Controller Type: None
Although I can't vouch for this if you've upgraded to Snow Leopard, as
they've changed QT totally now.

Re: [videoblogging] Best Option for Pic in Pic While Screencasting?
Thanks for the suggestion Rupert (and Julian, Ryanne, David, etc), but I've
found the Toggle Camera control in iShowU. It places a nice window in the
upper right but seems to be lacking a bit in options...resizing, etc.
