 Dolphin screencast.
I've been playing around with screencasting software for some time. My idea is, to provide a series of screencasts showing off different aspects of KDE technology. I've now mostly sorted out the technicalities and concepts, so I started recording some test screencasts. For the screencasts, I'm using recordmydesktop. I've chosen blip.tv a one means of distribution. Their web interface is nice and easy to understand. It offers a flash player, so it makes the content accessible very easily, but you can also view the Ogg Video version of the file, so it's equally accessible for those preferring a Free format. Blip.tv also seems to have a reasonable understanding of licensing. They're offering several creative commons licenses to choose from. I've chosen a relatively liberal license so the screencasts are easy to redistribute and use in other materials. Well, maybe not this first one, as I'm not yet a super hero in this authoring domain. To make things easier, I've not included sound. This pilot is about 10 minutes long. I'm using the fine Plasma notes applet to tell what's going on, although I'm forgetting to scroll in the beginning, and somewhere towards the end, please bear with me -- I guess that's some sort of digital stage fright. So this first screencast walks us through a part of Dolphin's feature set. The different view modes, zooming functionality, tooltips, the cool selection mechanism (no ctrl-key!), shows how Dolphin integrates my USB stick and how you safely remove it, the Capacity indicator, the places, information, folders and terminal panels and how you can use them to make Dolphin fit your working habits. It concludes with a run through the configuration dialog. Enjoy!
