Screencast of the Week - Google Earth Design

This week's Screencast of the Week comes from Richard Treves on his Google Earth Design blog.
There are several reasons I picked this screencast. I like the use of sketch motion callouts to draw viewer attention to certain details in the video. Looks like Richard also used a watermark on the video for his university. I have to say one of my favorite parts about this screencast is not actually part of the video - at the end of Richard's blog post, he shares what he has learned and posted his Camtasia workflow. We can all learn from each other.
You can see a blog post all about the screencast here. It's a quick screencast running 6:34.
Hat tip to Richard Lane for emailing me the screencast! Any nominations for next week's Screencast of the Week? Email or post a comment.

Thanks for the kind words, Camtasia is very handy for screencasts, I love its ability to import and export in multiple formats and the pause movie and sketch drawing callouts were very useful in this video.
A couple of wish list items though:
- I'd like to be able to edit audio without cutting the main video - during this screencast if I edited my narration by cutting it cut out the video too
- can I have a callout where I can define it completely myself? I want to be able to draw a box with total control of border color, fill color and alpha values.

Amit,
Editing audio in a video clip without affecting the video itself, is a pretty easy thing to do.
All you need is go to the menu => Edit => Unlik Video 1 from Audio 1.
And you are pretty much done.
Now each piece of footage sits in its own separate track for fine tune edition.
