Screencasting in no time
Did you ever want to take a screen-grab of a website or an image on your computer, add a voice-over and share it with a friend?
Sounds complicated, right? You’d need audio equipment and software that performed screen-grabs and a lot of other things that you probably aren’t even aware of needing.
Well now you can create web-based recordings using Screenr in a matter of seconds using either a Mac or a PC.
HOW TO CREATE, PUBLISH AND SHARE A SCREENCAST
Go to Screenr – http://screenr.com/
Click ‘Record your screencast now!’
You will be asked to give Screenr access to your computer.
Now you are ready to screencast!
A small framing window pops up with instructions on how to record your screencast.
#1 Move and resize the frame
#2 Click the red button to record
#3 Press DONE when finished
Tip: The smaller you keep the frame the clearer your screencast will appear when viewed.
Please note: All screencasts are viewable by the general public.
You can add voice-overs to slideshows, screencast a .mov file and a whole lot more.
Screenr will record up to 5 minutes of material.
Oh, and in case I didn’t mention, it’s free!
Once you have clicked ‘Done’ you’ll be taken to a screen that will prompt you to write a 140 character description of your screencast.
Upload your finished product to your Twitter account or post it on your blog.
My favorite feature: You can preview and delete your Screenr if you don’t like how it turned out.
Sharing your content just got a little easier.
