vblog test



Don't mind me, I'm just working on adding a video file to this blog. I love screencasting and have been using TechSmith's Camtasia for a couple of years now...maybe one day I'll get to be good at it. I enjoy making vids but those file sizes are a bear...usually my content goes on a streaming server that I don't control, but I want to explore a bit with things.

The above is a screencast of a PowerPoint presentation, I opened PowerPoint and used Camtasia 4 to record the screen as I spoke. After recording I produced the video as several diferent types of files, the one above is a .flv from a .wmv. From there I uploaded the video to blip.tv and took the code that site generated and pasted into blogger...that's it.

A nice tutorial on how to do this is located on the freevlog site...very easy to follow screencasts for PC and Mac.

C(S)ites:
Camtasia - techsmith.com
blip.tv - blip.tv
blogger - blogger.com
Freevlog - freevlog.org

Enjoy, Steve
