Izzy Video 136 – Four Secrets to Making a High-Quality Screencast
New to Izzy Video? A few things you should know: I created this site to be a resource to help you get started and develop your skills in shooting video. I've posted more than 100 video tutorials on how to shoot and edit video. Several are free downloads, and I consistently release new tutorials every month. You'll notice that many videos are available to members only.
Finally, I recommend you subscribe to my RSS feed, or the newsletter (the form is in the sidebar) to make sure you get new videos as they're released. Thanks for visiting!
I love screencasts because they’re fairly simple to produce, and they’re an excellent way to show something visually. However, sometimes I watch screencasts that have poor levels of quality (usually on YouTube). While I might be intrigued by the content, the production quality is low and the videos are difficult to watch because of this.
If you’re looking for a way to increase the quality of your screencasts, then this installment of Izzy Video will give you a big boost. In it, I reveal four secrets to making a high-quality screencast.

Hi Izzy,
Great show indeed, learned a few new things, and checking right now where I can buy that Plop Filter & Schock Mount for my Heil PR-40.
As I mentioned through trwitter I’ve been using the ProRes422 codec in the last ScreenCast I made. From Screenflow I exported the movie to ProRes422, brought that into FCP and edited in ProRes422. Once I was done, I exported the final cut out in ProRes422 again and let Comprerssor chew on it. I don’t know if there is any difference in Quality, but it does save quite some time encoding / decoding the whole thing at each step.
Regards,
Stefaan
