OAW Screencasts (Planning)
Since we received a lot of positive feedback for the screencasts Markus recorded for the openArchitectureWare 4.2 release, we thought it might be worthwhile to produce oAW screencasts in a more or less regular way.

Tools
Tool recommendations. Any free tools? Or commercial ones we have licenses for? Do not enter license codes here, use the license page on openArchitectureWare.org instead
You will need a screen recording software. I am using Camtasia Studio (I still use version 4, version 5 seems to be the current one).
They do have a 30-day trial license, so you can give it a try and ISC can pay for one or more licenses later.
To make sure the sounds recording is a decent quality you should use a microphone. I like to use a handheld mike like this one: Sony F-V220 Alternatively any halfway decent headset mike should be good enough, (after all, we're not trying to record a Hollywood movie here).
To create the video, I run the recorder application of Camtasia.
Source Code
We will need to write / re-use / re-work existing and / or new samples to perform these screen casts.
- Where do we place those sample projects (i.e. which repository):
- How should the samples be named:
