Making a screencast.
I would love to start making screencast myself, but have no idea how to start. The screencast to this page has both a good visual quality and can be downloaded or streamed with a lot of options, but how do you do all that.
It would be great if you guys made a tutorial about how we can contribute to this page by making our own screencast like you do.
Going through the following:
- How to record the screen.
- How to use an editor capable to cutt, clipp & add parts from another clip. How to make easy effects between different parts of the clip to make it easier to see when there is something else that is showned, eg. when showing different applications. How to mark and paint parts of the clip, and how to add still pictures to the clip.
- The last part should be how to add voice to the clip, both realtime and different soundfiles.
This would probably be of great help to me and a lot of others.
SSH screencast request
Hi, could you please make an ssh screencast? Covering setup and use of an ssh session? I think this is very important.
Thanks a lot
Doing basic things in Ubuntu.
I would like to see some screen casts made of doing things that a new user from Windows/Mac would have done in either of those operating systems.
1) Make a DVD movie.
2) Making audio cd's, data, and burning iso cd's.
3) Different ways to install software.
4) How to use their web cam and chat software.
5) How to use Gimp as a replacement for Photoshop.
6) Connecting devices like printers, mp3 players and setting them up.
7) How to use the music players in Ubuntu.
8) How to download internet videos/podcasts.
9) How to make and print audio and dvd labels and inserts for cd and dvd cases.
10) How to use lightscribe software.
11) Updates to screencasts that have been done before but now have to be done differently due to changes in Ubuntu.
12) How to use wine and install.
13) How to use Virtual Box and install it.
14) Using Open Office to do things users did in Microsoft Office.
15) How to customise the look of Ubuntu.
16) How to use Compiz or other effects.
I think the screencasts are a great way to give the new user a better way to understand how to do things in Ubuntu/Linux and I think that most users are going to want to know how do they do the things in Ubuntu/Linux they once did in Windows/Mac.
That's a fantastic shopping
That's a fantastic shopping list! I'll merge these with my own!
Ubuntu - Installing Packages From Source
This is one of the things I really would like to learn about. How to install software from source if i have to. from the first step in getting build Essentials installed, to then compile time and trouble shooting a compile.
Anther great video would be From Source Code to Deb or AutoDeb usage and I would rather install using a deb file even when there is no deb file to start with.
that just me. would save a lot of us new guys a cake load of head bashing into keyboards...
I would love to have a
I would love to have a screencast of this made because I always see questions about how do I install this or that from source or other ways other than just installing a deb file.
Maybe cover all file types that you would have to install from the command file.
Package Installation
I work in Windows as an IT professional and I've 'crossed over' into the Ubuntu\Linux world and man I am impressed!.
But - Its also a learning experience, since for years and years I've approached things in a highly defined manner.
I just don't understand the who 'package ' concept and how to precisely install software in Ubuntu.

It's certainly an "advanced"
It's certainly an "advanced" topic we could cover. To be honest I've always tried to avoid the command line on this site, but maybe now is the time to introduce some "expert" ones.
I agree
Also I would like to see videos with a focus on how Ubuntu and Ubuntu server can be used in the enterprise and how to administrate it, but of course some command line basics would be introduced first.
Make a Package
Hi
I recommend you to make a package of all your clips for fast downloading and easy-to-use for ubuntu beginners.
Thanks for your useful information in ubuntuclips.org
