Screen Mimic 2.0
permanent link
· Topic/MacOSX
I hadn't heard of this Screen Mimic before today, but the timing is perfect — I was just wishing for an application like this yesterday. I am often in the need to make up a quick little screencast (of course not as polished as the Sandvox demo) with live voice recording, so I can explain what I'm doing on my Mac.
This is a really slick, useful program. I can record a fixed area or have the window follow my mouse. My clicks and my drags can be superimposed (with a little circle) so it's clearer what I'm doing. (Maybe it needs the ability to also indicate that with sound effects!)
What's really cool is that its author, Lee Falin, was inspired to become an indie Mac developer after hearing a panel that I put together at an O'Reilly Mac OS X conference. (Oliver Breidenbach mentioned this today over on MacDevCenter.)
