This week I was lucky that Carla Wardin, our marketing writer, was in the office. Normally she telecommutes from Connecticut.
With her in the office, I took the opportunity to make a quick screencast. Yep, that's right - we made a screencast about screencasts!
We found some great Camtasia Studio screencasts - one screencast about using Google Maps, another made up of vacation pictures, and a cute video about a birthday. Click on the screenshot below to start the screencast.
So, we hope these inspire you to make your own Camtasia Studio videos to preserve the memories and fun along the way...and of course, to get going in the right direction in the first place.
Happy New Year!

Would something like this be an interesting/easy/fun way to create a "trip report" of a business trip, eg visiting a big tradeshow like CES? A person could take a bunch of still pics of useful stuff they saw, maybe even do some audio recordings of the interactions/interviews they had with a booth staffer, then (on the plane home) just choose the best photos, put them in a directory, use the photoviewer to go through the pics, while narrating and Camtasia-recording their "tour" of the show? The "interview" audios could be "dropped in" to accompany the right photos, and the cursor could be used to highlight the key elements in the photos.
This kind of trip report (which could also document a visit to a museum, zoo, natural wonder, etc) probably wouldn't need a google-map narration, but some trips could. A "movie" from this would be a great complement to a blogged report, or a Flickr collection from a trip (which could have larger photos), or a podcast about a trip.
A movie like this (really a "filmstrip" or screencast) couold even play well over a modem! And it wouldn't take much time at all to create, if the author didn't go crazy selecting/editing the pics.
What Techsmithian is going on a trip to a tradeshow soon?

Hi Mike - thanks for the comment. We'll be doing something like this for CES! I leave tomorrow...Hopefully I won't have problems posting remotely!
Do you have any to share?
