This week's Screencast of the Week was sent to me by Amit Agarwal from Digital Inspiration blog! You can see the blog post and screencast here.

I liked this screencast for several reasons. In the blog post the author, David Tucker, mentioned that talking about Aviary wasn't enough. You really need to see it in action. This screencast does a nice job showing off the features and functionality in Aviary without being too long and David makes good use of panning the screen too. You get too see all of the app, without having a large video. And, in addition to giving you a tour of the app, David shows you how to use some of the functionality too.

Also, you may notice that when the screencast is loading, David changed the preloader in Camtasia Studio to show his own logo (see image on left). It's a great way to show off your own brand in your screencast while your viewers wait for the video to load. If you'd like to learn how to do that too, check out this tutorial here.

Thanks for sending this screencast, Amit! Anyone have a nomination for next week's Screencast of the Week?
