Izzy Video 136 - Four Secrets to Making a High-Quality Screencast

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

    Question — If you’re doing all the editing w/in Screenflow, do you recommend exporting to Lossless w/AIC and then use mpeg2 streamline for the specific devices like ipad, web, ipod/iphone, etc?

    That’s a great workflow. That way you have the master, and then you can make all the different versions from there.
