There is an (almost) complete tutorial available about recording the screencast and merging it with audio recordings later. This allows the author to concentrate on the demo when recording the video, and focus on the audio later. Many audio tracks on screencasts have lots of 'umms' and 'ahhhs' which can detract from the learning experience.Īrguably it is better to record the audio after the video, then subsequently merge them. If the author is trying to demonstrate a task, remember the steps they want to demo, and talk coherently then often it is the latter that suffers. Whilst it is possible in most screencasting applications to record the video and audio simultaneously, this often leads to lower quality results. Examples of this dead-time include as a client waits for a response from a server, as source code is compiled, or whilst an application starts up. An audio description can also be used to pad out the sections of the video where nothing interesting is happening. The audio element can help to supplement and describe the features being demonstrated on the screen.

ScreenCasts may optionally contain an audio track describing what is happening on the screen. They are especially useful for new users where one of the first stumbling blocks can be a lack of familiarity with the product look & feel, location of options and general operation.

ScreenCasts are great for showing people how to do specific tasks on a computer. ScreenCasts generally consist of a video of either a portion of the desktop or a full screen where the author demonstrates some application or process.
