Screencast-o-Matic: very cool and very free!
I found a new tool to put in my A/V tool belt today: screencast-o-matic. Unlike a lot of other screencasting programs, this one is browser based and it’s free. You can upgrade to a premium account for $5 that will allow you to record up to an hour and will remove the watermark. I don’t really care about those features, but I kind of want to give these guys $5 anyway. You can quickly upload your screencast to YouTube, or export it as a .mp4, .avi or .flv on your computer. It’s also super-fast; I made this screencast in about 4 minutes:
Full disclosure – I used the internal mic on my laptop, so the audio was kind of soft. When I tested to see how well the screencast imported into FCP (answer: very) I boosted the audio a bit. Anyway, I thought this was a very cool and useful tool, so I hope you’re able to get some use out of it or the Quicktime trick I showed you in the video!
