Screencasting is simply recording your computer screen. It could be a software or game demo, a guide to a website or a how-to video. Screencasts commonly involve some sort of a voiceover, which can be added during the recording or later on in the editing or post-production process.
TIP: Try to avoid silences. Use any “downtime” (e.g. spinning hourglasses, slow webpage loading) to preview your next steps or recap what you have done so far.
Text is very small, we are filming too much of the screen, delays getting started, narration is not scripted, audio is very quiet, personal information showing, unprofessional.
Text is clear, zoomed in to the action, straightforward with no delays, narration is scripted, audio is loud and clear, no personal information showing.
The more screencasts you do, the easier they get and the they will take less time to make!
