Ok, I just found a very cool screen casting app on a Mashable post called Screenr. For those of you who are already aware of this, forgive me. This is really huge and works great for on the fly screencasts. It integrates with Twitter and the quality is awesome. Checkout Screenr and let me know what you think?

32 Lessons for Online Video
Sunday, March 7th, 2010
Here is a great post, 32 Lessons for Online Video, that I found this morning. Now I can’t say that being hyperactive and working 22 hour days is my idea of success. There are several nuggets that can be pulled out of this post and used to be successful. I know that there are things that I need to implement into my strategy. I hope you find this useful and usable. Let me know what you think?
Converting Kodak Zi8 video for Final Cut
Thursday, February 25th, 2010I recently stumbled over a video that will change my video workflow. I have from time to time tried to put Quicktime movies into Final cut only to get “the red line of death” above the clip in the multitrack editing window. I have run across other formats that do the same thing. Essentially what is happening is that Final Cut wants to render these files before you can do anything with them. The only problem is that it can take anywhere from several minutes to several hours to render these files. Then as soon as you want to cut or splice or do anything with the clip, Final Cut asks you to re-render the file. It blows!
This clip shares a method and some software to help with this issue. Check out How To Use The Zi8 With Final Cut Express on Youtube. Very informative video. The freeware MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 software works awesome! This video post uses this method to convert files so they need no rendering in Final Cut from the Kodak Zi8 camera, but I think this will work great for all those other clips that just don’t want to cooperate as well.
