That's definitely a concern of mine as well. That said, I've done a lot of amateur video work in the past and it's really not all that involved. I think if you spend the time to make a decent script of what you're going to say, how you're going to flow through your app, and stick to that, it's easy to go back and adjust it as features are added. I don't think you'd need to do a new video each time a feature is added, unless it's major, but maybe every few features to keep it up to date. I would also stay a little high level throughout the video unless a specific feature needs more detail. Lets face it, most people aren't necessarily interested in watching a 10-20 minute video of an app. I think if you stay in the 2-5 minute range, you're in good shape and that's short enough that recording new videos from new versions of the app wouldn't be too rough to manage.
For recording, I've used Fraps to record and mix gameplay from various games on my PC and I was thinking about using it for this as well. I suspect I'll just use the emulator to run the app, and a web browser to perform actions that my app would adjust from. I expect to tie up any loose ends on my app tonight/tomorrow and have it released shortly thereafter. So I'll work on even a rough video of what I'm thinking about once this dev cycle is over. -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 11:18 AM, TreKing <treking...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have not and would be interested to hear from those that have as well.
