Creating online video is not as difficult as it sounds and if you are "green" to creating videos, this walk-through is going to give you some perspective. I am going to be walking you through what a screencast is, the software that is available out there (online and install based), and I am even going to be giving you a look at the software that I use (Screenflow) and how I create screencast videos like this one.

Here are some of the websites that were referenced within this training:

If you have any questions about Screencasts or want to discuss any of the "options" discussed within this video, please leave them below.

Kyle, How do we integrate the recording from screen flow into you tube.....

You will need to export it as a .wav file and then upload that file into YouTube. There is also a function right within Screenflow to export to Vimeo and Youtube but I have found that feature to be a little buggy.

I've got a pc so I have been looking into getting screecast-o-matic. The pro version is only $15.

Yeah, not a bad investment for having the ability to produce screencasts on demand.

I note that you have a still shot of the beginning of a screen cast and have that on the page where you have the textual lesson and the video on its own page such as this one. Just curious if I should follow suit on my campaigns. I ask this silly question because you usually have very good reason why you do anything.

Do you keep the text lesson pretty much in the same order and wording as you do in the video? Just wondering if you use a software to provide the text from the recording (as in Dragon) for speed and ease in producing these lessons.

I do this manually Daniel. The videos are done in a way that makes the most sense to the audience and my text lessons often times fill in a lot of the blanks. There is nothing to really copy here in that respect, do what makes the most sense with your audience. That is my suggestion.

Thanks Kyle, been hesitating on the video production step for too long. Think this has given me the impetus I needed,
Hudson.

Excellent, you don't have to make it your main part of your content, but if you make it part of your content development, it will allow you to diversify your skillset (a good thing).
