Every time we pushed to the project’s git repo, the hook would run the command to update the HTML pages and our online documentation was always up to date. Bryan set one of these up to generate HTML pages from documentation in RST files we had for a project. One can define shell scripts that are executed when certain events happen. (“Introduced me to git” is not strong enough, it’s more like “forced me to use git” and I couldn’t be more grateful to him for that!)Īmong the many features of git that I love, one that it has in common with Mercurial, is the ability to customize hooks. I’ve been pretty impressed with what modern source version controls systems are able to do ever since Bryan Ward introduced me to git. Here are a few interesting pointers that help you reflect on the whys and hows: Mastering the content production technology is nothing if you don’t know how it will impact your teaching. Since a lot of the content seems to take the shape of movies, in particular screencasts, it’s good to keep in mind what not to do. Generating content can be tricky, but it’s not rocket science.
#Screenium vs screenflow full#
The short movies have voice over (recorded together with the screen), but the slides that appear in the iMovie-edited full product have a bit of silence.
My solution, so far, to generate the content I need was to record small movies from me using a shell and/or text editor, export each of my Keynote slides as an individual PNG image, and use iMovie to piece everything together. (When I start the slideshow and then activate SnapzProX, there seems to be some contention for screen access.) What I end up with are blank (black) screens and a voice over. Second, there seems to be a bit of a gotcha I need to work out: when I record a running slide show, I don’t really capture what is on screen. First, there are certain options with SnapzProX that I needed to adjust: record the microphone track, make the cursor visible (so that I could use it as a pointer), and record the computer’s audio track, whenever it made sense. As it turns out, there are a few “tricks” to keep in mind. I thought that it would be simple to run through Keynote (or MS Powerpoint) slides while capturing the screen with SnapzProX. Here’s an incomplete list of what I am looking at: If you have any suggestions, I’d enjoy hearing from you.Īs of right now, I’m evaluating different iOS and OS X technologies that I might leverage for the creation of video (primarily screencast) content. I’m going to start creating some content for ‘flipped classroom’ activities and I’m collecting ideas on methods for generating materials and pedagogies.
