The Visual Lounge lets you find out about TechSmith behind-the-scenes. Watch screencasts and videos from other customers, meet up with your fellow TechSmith users and staff, and get more tips and tricks!

This week's Screencast(s) of the Week are out of this world...and from Second Life! TechSmith Newsletter writer, Daniel Foster recently interviewed Torley Linden, who is a Second Life rock star. Torley is a prolific screencaster with over 100 videos!

Torley also recently published his "13 rules to making good video tutorials". One of the reasons I like Torley's videos is because of his third rule: "Bugs must be left in". It is like you're looking over Torley's shoulder which is a good way to learn. Torley also makes good use of text and callouts.

And, I also like that he has lots of videos of his quick tips. For example, the quick tip tutorial below is under 2 minutes. I don't always have 20 minutes to spare to watch a screencast, but I almost always have time for a 2 minute one.

You can find lots of Torley's videos here. And, you can find the full interview in the Camtasia Studio newsletter interview here.

I love the quote on Torley's website too - "I amplify your awesome." This is a great motto!

Have you seen any great screencasts lately?
