Screencast Videos for Enigin Software
Over the last month or so we’ve been busy recording a series of screencast videos for Enigin web applications. These are mainly to demonstrate our powerful suite of Sales and Marketing tools to our newly appointed distributors, but i’ve also found it useful to create videos for staff training. It sounds like an overkill but here’s the killer statement:
I recently completed a web application to manage Enigin PLC’s news articles from around the world and collate them on our various corporate websites. The system took around 5 days to build and is used by 7 people within Enigin. Before launching the application internally, I spend some time putting together a 6 minute tutorial video of how to use the system and explained all the basic functions. I sent this to each of the users along with their login details. 5 days later I have not answered a single ‘how to’ style support question!!
How cool is that?! I did the work, shipped the product and didn’t need to handle the tech support! That has to be every coders dream!
There will be another article on building screencasts in the near future but for the techies amongst you, here’s the software which I used:
- iShowU HD - For recording the actual screen movements
- Apple Final Cut Express - For editing the video, recording the voiceover and adding titles
- Stomp - For compressing the final Quicktime movie in to a smaller file size
