For those interested in the application of screencast technology on
the Mac, check out

http://www.screencastsonline.com/index.php

In particular, I noticed some very professional looking screen masking
(to draw attention to particular areas) and input acceleration (to
skip over boring bits) in the screencast on Omnifocus

I chatted with someone that did good mac screencasts:
http://macgenealogist.com/
http://pcgenealogist.com/

He used ScreenFlow
http://www.telestream.net/screen-flow/

I don't know if it was the same software or not.

Dennis-

Amazing coincidence that you should send these particular links. I was
just at a Legacy User Group meeting here in Auckland, New Zealand on
Sunday. These guys are SERIOUS. 16 people showed up and talked about
the Legacy genealogy software for 4 hours. One fellow said he had
35,000 names in his database!

While Ben Sayer may have used ScreenFlow on the Mac side, I'm guessing
it was CamTasia on the PC side.

I'll write him and ask.

Cheers,

John

I'm a Legacy user too ;-) but I have considered doing some GRAMPS
videos, I like the portable version plus it's open source.

Not sure but I think Ben ran windows inside his MAC, he said he used
ScreenFlow & the effects are the same for his MAC & Windows videos,
plus CamTasia won't do some of those effects.

Hi, John.

Thanks for the feedback and the referrals. I use ScreenFlow and no other tools.
