Made a video today with
Jing, and sent it on its way to a user via email. Here are a few lessons I learned:
- You have three options for sharing the video, but may choose only one. Today I decided to save the video to my computer so it would be easy to use later and maybe upload directly to a webpage rather than use it as a link. But then I thought "Wouldn't it be nice to use the link, too, for quick-needs occasions and to avoid sending huge files via email?" When I went back to my history to see if I could grab a link on Screencast.com, I could only save the file again. No link. So be thoughtful about how you'd like to use your video. (This is why the video isn't here. It's at work, not on my home laptop.)
- Turn off your automatic email pop-up. In the middle of a longer video I was making for my project, my email popped up with a message. While the alert sound could have been easily dismissed, the fact that the pop-up was in the video was distracting. So either turn it off, or make sure the frame doesn't include wherever it pops up.
- Editing would be nice. I had pretty good videos when I'd flub something or realize that there was a better way to do something. Starting from scratch isn't the easiest. Could definitely see where you'd consider a software you'd have to pay for.
