With a plan in place, it’s time to start drafting an outline of your screencast.
Doing a deep dive might seem like an easy corner to cut, but believe me, putting some time into planning your screencast will help you avoid time-consuming reworks later. So before you decide to record something off the cuff, take a few minutes to think about the process you’re going to demonstrate. Good screencasts are the result of thoughtful planning and careful work. Today, I’d like to go over four things you should do to prepare for your screencast beforeyou hit the red Record button. Plus, it’s way easier to understand a process if I see it done right in front of me, rather than having to slog through a manual or other text-heavy instructions. The beauty of it is, I can always go back or restart it if I need a second pass (or more!) before it really clicks with me. Screencasts show me the step-by-step process of how something is done.
When I’m trying to learn something new, watching a screencast is really helpful for me.
