Screencast transcribes your narration into text so you can easily edit your recording and viewers can search, navigate, and translate screencasts via the transcript. Transcriptions can be processed on the device or sent to Google for processing depending on your device and device language.
A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture or a screen recording, often containing audio narration.[1] The term screencast compares with the related term screenshot; whereas screenshot generates a single picture of a computer screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on a computer screen, that can be enhanced with audio narration and captions.
In 2004, columnist Jon Udell invited readers of his blog to propose names for the emerging genre.[2] Udell selected the term "screencast", which was proposed by both Joseph McDonald and Deeje Cooley.[3]
The terms "screencast," "screencam" and "screen recording" are often used interchangeably,[4][5] due to the market influence of ScreenCam as a screencasting product of the early 1990s.[6] ScreenCam, however, is a federal trademark in the United States, whereas screencast is not trademarked and has established use in publications as part of Internet and computing vernacular.[7][8] Screen recording is now the most generic term.[9]
Screencasts can help demonstrate and teach the use of software features. Creating a screencast helps software developers show off their work. Educators may also use screencasts as another means of integrating technology into the curriculum.[10] Students can record video and audio as they demonstrate the proper procedure to solve a problem on an interactive whiteboard.
Screencasts are useful tools for ordinary software users as well: They help filing report bugs in which the screencasts take the place of potentially unclear written explanations; they help showing others how a given task is accomplished in a specific software environment.
Organizers of seminars may choose to routinely record complete seminars and make them available to all attendees for future reference and/or sell these recordings to people who cannot afford the fee of the live seminar or do not have the time to attend it. This will generate an additional revenue stream for the organizers and makes the knowledge available to a broader audience.
This strategy of recording seminars is already widely used in fields where using a simple video camera or audio recorder is insufficient to make a useful recording of a seminar. Computer-related seminars need high quality and easily readable recordings of screen contents which is usually not achieved by a video camera that records the desktop.
In classrooms, teachers and students can use this tool to create videos to explain content, vocabulary, etc. Videos can make class time more productive for both teachers and students. Screencasts may increase student engagement and achievement and also provide more time in which students can work collaboratively in groups, so screencasts help them to think through cooperative learning.
In addition, screencasts allow students to move at their own pace since they can pause or review content anytime and anywhere. Screencasts are excellent for those learners who just need an oral as well as a visual explanation of the content presented.
An alternative solution for capturing a screencast is the use of a hardware RGB or DVI frame grabber card. This approach places the burden of the recording and compression process on a machine separate from the one generating the visual material being captured.[13]
I am also happy with 22.04's screencast integration and need to work with output other than webm. For post-processing, ffmpeg works from the shell and the front-end with LosslessCut and others.I've had success explicitly setting fps in screencast .webm files:
I have a video that I made in the past and want to reuse a portion of it, but need to crop out the logo on the right of the screen. Is there a quick way to do this with Replay? I tried to just recast it with a new smaller screencast window, but the re-recorded audio is not very good.
Hi Daniel! Replay doesn't have the ability to crop videos, but if you were planning on using your Replay .mp4 in Storyline or Presenter project, you'll be able to crop it there. Here's an example of cropping my Replay video in Storyline. Otherwise, another video editing tool might do the trick for you.
Also, is the logo on screen or a part of the player in general? If it's on the slide view itself, I'd look at recording with the second instance of Replay. You may want to look at what audio element you're capturing, as I know folks in the past shared that using the "Stereo mix" allowed them to capture the system audio in a better quality. Where was the screen recording originally created? If it was within Storyline the logo was added as a part of the player you could look at cropping/fine tuning to just the section you need and publishing again?
I do not have Storyline. It sounds like it is the better product for doing videos or screencasts. I figured out how to do what I wanted. I re-recorded my video with Replay simply cutting off the area I did not want with the custom window. I did the new recording with no audio. I did it with the audio at first, but re-recording the audio gave me a very poor quality as expected.
Thanks Daniel for the update and glad to hear you were able to get this working as you needed. The screen recording functionalities of Storyline are a bit different than Replay - so it would depend on what you needs are. You may want to take a look at the information here about screen recording in Storyline.
In early 2018 I started producing Haskell screencasts. A majorityof the work involved cutting and splicing video by hand in a non-linearediting system (NLE) like Premiere Proor Kdenlive. I decided to write ascreencast editor specialized for my needs, reducing the amount ofmanual labor needed to edit the recorded material. Komposition wasborn.
Komposition is a modal GUI application built for editing screencasts.Unlike most NLE systems, it features a hierarchical timeline, built outof sequences, parallels, tracks,clips, and gaps. To make the editing experience moreefficient, it automatically classifies scenes in screen capture video,and sentences in recorded voice-over audio.
When I started with PBT, I struggled with applying it to anythingbeyond simple functions. Examples online are often focused on thefundamentals. They cover concepts like reversing lists, algebraic laws,and symmetric encoders and decoders. Those are important properties totest, and they are good examples for teaching the foundations ofPBT.
Finding resources on integration testing using PBT is hard, and itmight drive you to think that PBT is not suited for anything beyond theintroductory examples. With the case studies in this blog series I hopeto contribute to debunking such misconceptions.
My Video Memories course occasionally uses screencasts of Google Search results to help my students locate public domain resources they can use for their Video Memory development. My screencasts are a bit jerky as I try to scroll down those results using the scroll wheel on my mouse. Is there a technique that will help smooth that scrolling?
ShotCut is rendering my screen capture properly. It's my uneven scrolling with my mouse on the browser screen that I'm trying to compensate for. To scroll using the mouse requires me to lift my finger off the wheel about halfway down the screen as my finger is not long enough.
I figured out what I did. My logitech wifi mouse allows me to hold down the middle wheel. When I do that a circle icon with a dot within vertical arrows appears. Moving it in the direction I wish to scroll causes the screen to move. The faster I initially move the cursor, the faster the screen scrolls.
Hi, all. This spring and summer I was able to record many screencasts with inset video using Panopto Capture Beta on my Chromebook, but suddenly (starting Friday, a week ago today) the tool is no longer working. I've tried everything I can think of, but every time something goes haywire-- the screencast freezes 3 seconds in and only audio is recorded, for example. Please advise.
We're aware of an ongoing issue with Panopto Capture (beta) on Chrome. I'm not sure if you've seen Justin's post, but it includes some workarounds: Panopto Capture users unable to record Audio + Screen with Google Chrome.
We will also update the post once the issue is resolved. Thank you so much for your patience while this is worked on - if you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask. We're always happy to help!
Every week, we post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
For years, I docked my MacBook Pro to an external monitor whenever I worked from home, but last fall I bought a new Mac Mini when they were announced because I wanted to have a dedicated podcast/screencasting setup.
I have the base i5 model and I absolutely love it. I did upgrade the RAM to 32GB myself with the OWC upgrade kit, which was a little cumbersome, but the OWC kit made it fairly straightforward by giving you all the tools you need, and the video tutorials were easy to follow. The whole process took about 45 minutes, but I saved about $400 by doing it myself.
I have two monitors hooked up to my Mac Mini, neither of which are very good, but they work. The larger one in a cheap Monoprice 4K monitor I picked up years ago and the side monitor is an LG 4K UltraFine I got on special from Woot.
