Hello, I need some how-to advice and pointers to useful online information on how to do screencasts.
I work mostly with small nonprofits. I recently got into vlogging using an inexpensive digital camera with video setting and MovieMaker on my PC. I used the freevlog tutorial and I'm up and running on doing posts shot with my camera and edited on MovieMaker. My next goal is to create vlogs of how-to information. I downloaded Camstudio and recorded the screen doing the how-to steps. My plan was to import the clip into MovieMaker and edit it - include clips shot with my camera, music, titles, etc. (Here's my first experiment which I turned into a comedy: http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/files/first-how-to-video.wmv) - but you can see what I describe below at the end of the film. The AVI clip I made with Camstudio plays back beautifully on mediaplayer and camstudio player, but when I import it into MovieMaker, it looks like crap. It looks like the screen display is off. I have no idea how to fix this -- is this a setting issue? Like do I need to use a different codec in the recording? Is there an import setting in MovieMaker that I need to adjust? Are screencast clips by Camstudio simply not compatible with MovieMaker Do I need to look for another (free) editing or screen capture program? If so, what do you recommend? In addition, any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated about how to design, create, and implement an effective screencast. Thanks! Beth ------------------------ Yahoo!
