"A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, often containing audio narration. Although the term screencast dates from 2004, products such as Lotus ScreenCam were used as early as 1993. Early products produced large files and had limited editing features. More recent products support more compact file formats such as Macromedia Flash and have more sophisticated editing features allowing changes in sequence, mouse movement, and audio.

Just as a screenshot is a picture of a user's screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of what a user sees on his monitor. And if a picture is worth a thousand words, a movie is worth a thousand pictures.

Screencasts are useful for demonstrating features of both simple and complicated software. Creating a screencast helps software developers show off their work. It is a useful skill for ordinary software users as well, to help report bugs (the movie takes the place of potentially unclear written explanations) or to show others how a given task is accomplished in a specific software environment.

The term was coined by columnist Jon Udell in 2004 in an article he wrote describing the benefits of using the technique as a way to show other users applications he found interesting."

223 - [FS] LaunchBar 5 - Part 1 [Free Show]

from ScreenCastsOnline HD on November 05, 2009
Duration: 2152
[Full Free Show] At last! LaunchBar 5 is at full release status and I've been able to a show about it! Well not just one show, I've got so much to cover, I've had to split it across two shows (at least). The developers of LaunchBar 5 are supporting ScreenCastsOnline by sponsoring the free version of this weeks show. It's no secret that LaunchBar has been one of my favourite applications, probably from since I first started on the Mac. At it's core, LaunchBar is an application launcher but to call it just an application launcher does it a disservice. Objective Developments, the developers of LaunchBar have been increasing the functionality with each release, adding not just cool but stunningly useful features. The bottom line is that the application very quickly becomes an indispensable tool once you've started using it for even just a few hours. LaunchBar 5 creates an index of all the "stuff" on your Mac - Applications, files, folders, documents, preference panes, web bookmarks, Web history, your iTunes library, your address book, your iPhoto library and much more. It allows you to create abbreviations to search and access all this "stuff" without moving your hands from the keyboard, making it so much more efficient that picking up your mouse and clicking all over the screen. Add in some extra features such as the built in actions and my favourite - integration with webs services and web search templates, you'll wonder how you ever did without it Although I've explored LaunchBar before in previous shows, for this show I thought I'd start from scratch, so you don't need to dig out the old shows. In this week's show I cover: Introduction & Installation Initial Configuration LaunchBar 5 Basics Launching Applications Instant Open Opening Recent Documents Using Address Book Data in LB5 Skype Integration Working with Files in LB5 Accessing Websites via LB5 Using Web Search Templates Searching and Accessing Bookmarks & Web History The next free show will take a look at some of the other new features of LaunchBar 5

222 - [Tr] MacMontage 10 [Trailer]

from ScreenCastsOnline HD on October 28, 2009
Duration: 87
[Trailer for Extra Members Show] Time for a MacMontage show! This week it's a mixture of a few hacks and mods, a great free Safari plugin in and a "behind the scenes" glimpse of how we handle email here at ScreenCastsOnline. In detail. the show covers: Copying and Pasting Email Addresses - Snow Leopard has changed the default behaviour so I point to a terminal command that set things back the way they should be! Modifying Grid View in iTunes 9 - Lots of complaints about the white background on the Grid view in the latest version of iTunes. How to reset it to a darker colour. Hidden Keyboard Shortcuts - Some pretty neat keyboard shortcuts to allow you to control your audio plus access some system preference panes directly ClickTo Flash - At last, a way to tame the beast that is Flash! A free Safari plugin that allows you to control what Flash content is displayed as you browse the interwebs. Cut down the distractions, stop your CPU from revving up and keep the heat down on your laptop. This great plugin also allows you control over YouTube, letting you default to H.264 formatted content and even download YouTube videos to your Mac in H.264 format for direct use in iTunes. Email Tools and Processes - This section covers how I've adapted my email workflow to allow for the sharing of the ScreenCastsOnline mailbox with Mrs Don, and demonstrates how I pass emails on for further processing using a combination of automated and manual rules processing. I also include a rather smart utility from eCamm which allows you to have multiple badges on your email dock icon to keep track of the contents of multiple mailboxes - Dockstar. There's even a 35% discount coupon included!

221 - [FS] Things for iPhone & iPod Touch [Free Show]

from ScreenCastsOnline HD on October 22, 2009
Duration: 1131
The final part of Things, this time, Things for iPhone and iPod touch. Things is an outstanding task management application from Cultured Code. In previous shows I've taken a look at Things for the Mac but in this weeks show, I take a look at the iPhone application. Although Things for the iPhone has almost all the features of Things for the Mac, and will fully synchronise with its Mac counterpart, it's a fully featured task management application in its own right, capable of running completely independently. In this weeks show, I explore the features of the application and the mobile interface. I also take a look at synchronising Things for iPhone with Things for Mac.

220 - [Tr] Snow Leopard Overview #4 [Trailer]

from ScreenCastsOnline HD on October 12, 2009
Duration: 86
[Trailer for Extra Members Show] Following on from my previous Snow Leopard overview shows, I've kept the best for last! As promised, this week, I finally get around to looking at Services in Snow Leopard, a brand new implemenation and a technology you can take advantage of immediately. As well as the new context sensitive architecture that Apple have introduced, they've also made services both supremely useful yet easy to master by anybody. No longer requiring programming skills, anyone can muster up a service to speed up their workflow via Automator. In this weeks show I cover: ◦ Introduction to Services ◦ Creating & Customising Services ◦ Four sample services from scratch ◦ Movie - Open in Quicktime 7 ◦ Images - Create PDF Book ◦ Text - Append Text to TextEdit ◦ Dropbox - Copy to Public Folder ◦ Resources on the Web ◦ Service Workflow Files - Locations Please note that if you're receiving this notification via the ScreenCastsOnline email notification service, the link inserted below is for access to the free version (or trailer) of this show.

Duration: 71
[Trailer for Extra Members Show] Well this was going to be the final Snow Leopard overview show but if I included everything I wanted to cover it would be an hour long and then still rushed! So I decided to do a slightly shorter show this week, leaving the way clear for a show all about Services and Automator in two weeks. This week's show focusses mainly on the new Text engine built into Snow Leopard. Some of the features are obvious, but some not so obvious! I also take a look at some other features such as Wake On Demand, location aware time zones and getting stuff out of the trash. In detail, the chapters for this week are: Enhanced Text Engine Text & Symbol Substitution Spelling Autocorrection Word Break Smart Quotes Smart Copy/Paste Smart Dashes Smart Links Data Detectors Text Transformations & Speech Wake On Demand Displaying Dates Location Aware Time Zones Put Back From Trash Please note that if you're receiving this notification via the ScreenCastsOnline email notification service, the link inserted below is for access to the free version (or trailer) of this show.

217 - [FS] Things - Task Management for the Mac [Free Show]

from ScreenCastsOnline HD on September 25, 2009
Duration: 2369
[Full Free Show] This week, the show features the multi award winning task management application from Cultured Code - Things I've had lots of requests to cover Things for a while now, but I've always felt it needed a few tweaks on the integration side, especially due to my personal reliance on using both a task management application along with the standard Apple email application. Thankfully, with the release of Things 1.2, the wait was over as not only was superb email integration delivered but some other unexpected features as well! As there is so much to cover, I've split the Things tutorial into two parts, the second part to be published in two weeks time. This week, it's part one and I cover: Creating To Do Items Using Tags Creating Hierarchical Tags Updating Notes using Drag & Drop Quick Entry Panel & AutoFill Assigning Due Dates and Repeating To Dos Organising To Do Items using Lists Using the Today List Using the Scheduled List Using the Someday List Creating and managing Projects Areas of Responsibilities The free version of this week's show is sponsored by Cultured Code, the developers of Things, and they have kindly offered a time limited discount of 20% off the usual price of Things - just use the coupon code SCOTHINGS but be aware, this is only valid up to the 15th October 2009 Please note that if you're receiving this notification via the ScreenCastsOnline email notification service, the link inserted below is for access to the free version (or trailer) of this show.

216 - [Tr] Snow Leopard Overview #2 [Trailer]

from ScreenCastsOnline HD on September 18, 2009
Duration: 74
[Trailer for Extra! Members Show] So you've had Snow Leopard for three weeks or so. Have you found all the subtle differences yet? No, neither have I! But I have found quite a few, all of which go towards making Snow Leopard a much improved OS. In part 2 of the Snow Leopard overview series, I explore and expose some of the new (and some not so new) features that you may not yet have discovered. This week's show includes: QuickTime X- The new and improved QuickTime X player is built on the brand new QuickTime architecture launched with Snow Leopard. I take you through the new interface along with a special section on screen recording and sharing. I also show you how to retro install QuickTime 7 if you find you need some of the more advanced features. Screen Sharing - Nothing new here you may think, but Apple have significantly enhanced the capabilities of screen sharing and I show you how. Menu Bar Icons - A little tip to allow you to get more information from your Menu bar icons Keyboard Viewer - Well the main difference is that it's resizable but when researching this section I stumbled across some functionality I'd not realised existed. A tremendous boon to help you with special and international characters. This isn't a Snow Leopard feature, it was in leopard all along and I didn't know it! This is just the first of an occasional series of Snow Leopard related shows to illustrate the power of this brand new operating system. Image Capture - I mentioned in a previous show that Snow Leopard would allow you to control the default actions of what applications (or none) load when different devices are plugged in. What I didn't realise was that, as well as this welcome addition to image capture, you can also share your devices across the network and access them from remote machines. 32bit Troubleshooting - Some hints and tips if the System Preferences pane restarts are driving you to distraction plus how to get around some issues with 32bit Safari plugins. So lot's to cover in this weeks show and that's still not the end of it. Look out for the third part of the overview series in a few weeks time.
