Screencasts

This page documents how to create screencasts for Amahi.

Elements of a screencast

• Idea for the topic of the screencast
• Title
• Small description (1-2 Paragraphs)
• Knowledge about how to preform the task for the screencast
• Video capture of the task
• Small intro video (~6 seconds)
• Small ending video (~4 seconds)

Steps

1. Do the following steps as necessary, improving in each iteration:
   • Create/edit a script
   • Record a screen capture
   • Record a voice over using script and voiceover
   • Watch the rough screen capture with the voice over
   • Tweak or re-record a new screen capture while listening to voice over
2. Import the latest screen capture and voice over to a video editing program like iMovie
3. Add a small intro video, with a title (we have one)
4. Play the screen capture and the voice over at the same time
5. Edit video and audio to be synchronized
6. Add a small ending video (optional)
7. Export the entire screencast
