I recently created a couple of screencasts for the Ubuntu-UK LoCo team, of which I am a member. I've been tinkering with screencasting for nearly a year now but only recently has everything come together in such a way that I find it easy to make the screencasts. I've been asked to write a guide showing how I created the screencasts at quickones, and here it is. Before I go into the detail there's some technical things I should outline up front. Various tools and utilities have been suggested to me over the last year and I have discounted many of them for a number of reasons. Hopefully this will explain what those reasons are so that you can understand why I used the tools I did. In a previous blog post I talked about screencasting in general - part 2 of that article is in the works. This post is more technical, showing how to actually do it for real.
