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!
Smashcut Media is my latest project, and is essentially a micro-studio for producing professional screencasts and other new media. Largely serving the Web 2.0 startup ecosystem, I’ve opened up a number of services and options for potential clients and now have a price guide available upon request. You can also download a brochure detailing what’s [...]
As fate would conspire I’ve wound up producing two different ways of trying to point out the basics of RSS for newcomers.

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 [...]
The Jing Project, TechSmith’s free-to-download, cross platform screen capture and screencasting tool, has just received some welcome upgrades that make it even easier for anyone to get started in the world of screen recording. I reviewed Jing when it first reared its head, over at Master New Media back in July, and since then the [...]
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 [...]
