Screencast has been the must have app these days, with many new applications to choose from which is the correct screencasting app for you? Screencast has been an indispensible thing for video tutorials , Youtube videos and Bloggers. So let me give you a review of the best Video Tool for Mac Screencasting. Some of the best Mac Screencast are :
There’s no great screencast app for the Mac yet. Snapz ProX is about the best there is, and it’s not bad, but it’s… well… it feels like there should be something better. Even ScreenFlow is not bad either,it is from Vara Software and is an incredible, breathtaking work of genius that is going to make daily screencasts less of a chore, and more pleasurable than they have been for a long time.
While I felt spoiled by Snapz Pro X, iShowU was definitely a nice little app for motion screen captures. Abject misery in the frame dropping antics of iShowU , with it’s delightful blinking cursor “feature”.
Screenflick features high performance screen capturing for smooth, fluid motion up to 60 fps. Screenflick can record any portion of the screen, simultaneously recording audio from internal or external microphones and the system audio.
Purchase Options ...
But should you go for these apps and buy one of them for your screencast purposes. Well I advise you to go for the freewares available till something very special comes up with Camtasia at the end of the year in its new mac format.
Some of the best freeware screencast are Copernicus and Jing .
Copernicus prides itself on being very fast allowing the program to record directly to your RAM for super fast access. Use it to easily create screenshots or simple how-to movies.
Jing isn’t just another great screencasting application. Jing is an interesting “project”. Snap a picture of anything on your desktop.Record video of what you do, or what you see.Instantly uploaded. Share in email, IM, or blogs.
Whats expected in a Screencast App?
Personally I use Copernicus and its great and simple to use. But in a Video Tool screencast I'd love to see Basic screen video capture with a few simple compression options, audio recording, caption/graphic overlay support, simple video editing (cut, duplicate, slow down, just the basics), and export to Quicktime or Flash. All wrapped up in a nice UI too, of course.
The biggest downfall of the current options is editing — there’s no way to preview the screencast you just created, overlay some captions, intro and outro text, and cut out some of the dead video).Other stand out features include highlighting of the cursor, or the foreground window
May your screencasts always be thrilling (and short, please), whichever tools you choose!
