These are some additional notes from Screencast Camp that I attended in August of 2012.

The Quest for the iPad screencasting app…
By Anton Bollen

Currently there is not a real good solution for using screencasting to capture how to use an iPad or it’s application. This presentation will explore some possibilities…

Possibilities

Use a document camera to record video…easy, gestures are captured, details are harder to see, less polished. Adorama.com for tutorial for recording iPad with a video camera.

Use iPad mirroring to record screen (Reflection MAC or PC or Air Server Apps) and use Camtasia to record the screen….no touches or gestures get captured, inexpensive $15,

Use a video capture box/card

Jailbreak your iPad…display recorder app

To Visualize Gestures

Gestures are important as they show how to use an app, much like a mouse on a traditional keyboard
Create graphics to show touch and animate within Camtasia, such as a circle animated in different ways.
Use a green screen to record various actions using your hand, then use the resulting video in Camtasia to layer over captured screen cast.

Tips

GestureWorks software with fonts showing icons for gestures
