Easy screencast ideasShouldn't it be easy to record a 30-second video illustrating a JMP technique or solution, and send it to a customer? Or post it as a community blog post? I feel like I waste hours writing emails... "Go to the Analyze menu, now choose Distribution...".
Does anybody have a good solution for recording screencast videos on Windows? Google suggested using the Microsoft Game Bar that's native to Windows 10, but our IT settings don't allow us to use this. Grrr.
Re: Easy screencast ideas@Jordan_Hiller, Yes this is a great technique and completely agree building up a library of 30-second to 5-minute how-to videos would be great. I have used Camtasia in the past and posted the videos to my personal blog for sharing. Camtasia is great for video editing very easy to use. If you don't have Camtasia another option that @HydeMiller shared with me is to use Teams live event. It seems to work really well for recording and sharing ironically not well at all for live events. It also allows for captions, which is helpful for Spanish and Portuguese while I have been working with Latin America. The recordings are stored in the cloud by teams, so you don't have to deal with the sharing aspect. I am happy to walk you through this if that is an option you would like to explore more. It is not as intuitive as Zoom.
Re: Easy screencast ideasHi Jordan,
I have been using zoom. Start a new meeting from the desktop app then share screen. I either share a full screen or a single application window. Click More > Record. Do the demo then click More > Stop Recording. When you end your meeting you get an email with a link to cloud recording files.
I have played with Camtasia. It is more complex. Zoom is simple and fast.

Re: Easy screencast ideasBefore creating the video, I would encourage you to check out the videos in the Learn JMP section of the Community, especially the Short Videos section. If you don't find what you need and think the video you're creating will be beneficial to a larger audience, then contact @julian , @ryandewitt , or @gail_massari so that one can be created and put in the Learn JMP area.
Re: Easy screencast ideasI wholeheartedly support what @Ryan_Gilmore said!
Re: Easy screencast ideas@Ryan_Gilmore, Thanks for sharing this resource. A couple of questions
1. Is there any way to turn on captions for these videos and have them in different languages? A lot of the content I have created has been for Latin America and in need of translation to Spanish and Portuguese. I use Teams with the caption features to do this.
2. The community gives an error for people who open videos in Chrome. Any update on getting this resolved?
3. A short video on Stability analysis would be a good addition.
Re: Easy screencast ideas- I would need to some research on this. Captions were broken when the Community video platform moved to Brightcove. The documentation is unclear if it has been restored.
- Khoros has an understanding of the issue but do not have a fix available yet. We have been constantly pushing them for a fix.
- Thanks for the suggestion.
