Yesterday I was whining on Twitter about how I’d had the tiniest little problem with my screencasting weapon of choice Screenflow (if you’re on a mac, just buy it now).
In short, I’d had a couple of shots where a tiny pixel had attached itself to a particular type of cursor. The type of thing that you would never even notice [...]
I’ve just finished and shared my video for the awesome dataportability workgroup:
DataPortability - Connect, Control, Share, Remix from Smashcut Media on Vimeo.
Enjoy!
I’m honoured that more than one website wants to scrape my all too scant, poorly written content, but the latest one is just plain odd.
Today I stumbled across a grotesquely unformatted parody of my Michael-Pick.com blog which even has all of the deep links altered and copied, as well as my entire Smashcut-Media.com website (minus [...]
I’ve been trying out a number of offerings on the screensharing and collaboration front lately, so was very, very pleased to find Robin Good’s great review of the newly launched Adobe Brio over at Master New Media today.
There are a whole lot of reasons that this has me excited:

Jon Udell coined the term (with a little help from his blog community) and basically (re)invented the medium while he [...]
I have a screencast double-bill for you today, over at Tubetorial.
Parts five and six of our 7 Must Have Plugins for Wordpress series cover a smart, easy to use video aggregation script and a very effective way to change your permalink structure without losing all of your traffic.
We mac screencasters are relatively limited in our options when it comes to screen recording applications. The only two worth the time of day, in my humble opinion, are iShowU and Snapz Pro. I ditched Snapz a good while back thanks to the instant rendering and extensive options available in iShowU, which I now use [...]
If you are or aspire to be a professional screencaster, putting together killer screen recordings that look great on your website - or those of your clients - you are definitely going to want to check out Camtasia Studio 5, from Techsmith.
And if for some reason you need further encouragement to shell out $299 for [...]
Professional screencasting is, at the moment, a relatively small field, and you can probably count the number of people making a living from screencasts on one hand. Or a couple, maybe. But out of all of the tools available to the would be screencaster, Camtasia Studio makes for an excellent entry-point, and for many people [...]
