Hi Clayton I'm actually experimenting with Wink, having checked out Jing, screen-o-matic and CamStudio. It looks a bit old fashioned and if I had time I'd try my hand at designing a few buttons and a better background, but I'm pushed for time as my interview is next week and I have a hundred and one things to do. So long as I can prove that I can do a screencast I think that's all that matters.
Wink produces the HTML, javascript and .swf files when you render the project and you run the screencasts from the html doc. The main problem I've got is trying to scale the screencast to fit a window, as I'm an XP user with a 19" in screen, but I know not everyone has something that big/small, so if anyone knows what I have to do, please let me know before next Tuesday if poss! When I view the source it looks like what's below, but I've forgotten what the scaling instructions are for scaling a window - Durghhh... <!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet --> <HTML> <BODY> <center><OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" WIDTH="850" HEIGHT="736" CODEBASE=" http://active.macromedia.com/flash5/cabs/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0";> <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Edit3.swf"> <PARAM NAME=play VALUE=true> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=low> <EMBED SRC="Edit3.swf" WIDTH=850 HEIGHT=736 quality=low loop=false wmode=transparent TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE=" http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash "> </EMBED> </OBJECT></center> <SCRIPT src='Edit3.js'></script> </BODY> </HTML> I've started with creating a master page and applying it in Impress. I'll probably do a smaller one telling users how to apply a master page that has already been created for them and how to apply one of the prepackaged layouts. I'm then going to try doing master pages in Writer, if time doesn't run out. As long as I have 2 or 3 screencasts in my portfolio I think I'll probably wing it. However, I'd really like to do one to accompany Mario Cassanova's work with the base tutorials because the draft documents are quite lengthy, so I think it would help break it up if users had something visual to follow as well, but that's a long way off yet.... :\ Claire On 18 May 2010 06:12, ccornell - OpenOffice.org <[email protected]>wrote: > On 05/13/10 19:24, Claire Wood wrote: > >> Hi TJ & everyone >> >> Well as well as updating my wiki skills I have to submit a few >> webcasts/screencasts, so I thought of doing some OOo ones. >> >> Looking at the wiki page >> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Tutorials I was >> going to have a go at Master pages in Writer and creating a template in >> Impress and setting it as the default template.
