185 - Screencast of a Screencast

Day 185. I'm running a session at next week's Queensland Summit about screencasting and I wanted to make a screencast demonstrating how to make a screencast using the new Snagit for Google Chrome. But to do that I needed to make a screencast of myself making a screencast, if you see what I mean. So I wondered if you could use Camtasia for Mac to capture the whole screen while you were in turn using Snagit for Chrome to capture it's own screencast activity.

Turns out the answer is yes.



Next experiment will be to see if I can make a screeencast of a screencast of a screencast...

178 - Accept or Reject

Day 178. Google just announced a whole bunch of new features for Drive this week, and today's create is a short video explaining the new commenting features in Docs. Although I say in the video that this brings parity to the two tools, I actually think this is even better than the Track Changes in Word.
