I'm thinking about doing a great deal of screencasting in the near future. I'd love some tips on the following:<br> <br> (1) I'm familiar with Camtasia, but are there some other apps you might suggest? Any free apps? I much prefer Windows software.<br> <br> (2) Is there any way possible to host a screencast on a site like YouTube or JumpCut.com without it getting compressed to the point where the video is no longer clear? If not, what are the best file formats to export as? Any hosting tips? Also, <b>how in the hell does a site like <a href="http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=216">Lynda.com</a> offer such high quality screencasts that load so quickly?</b><br> <br> (3) How much should I spend on a microphone? Do you have any general audio tips?<br> <br> (4) Any broad screencasting advice? The basic do's and don'ts?<br> <br> Thanks in advance. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.43048 Wed, 26 Jul 2006 17:01:08 -0800 screencasting screncast JPowers
