I’ve uploaded several screencasts over the last week, or so, and plan to upload more. I know there are others working on some additional videos also. If you have plans for making videos then maybe we can share our ideas here so we wouldn’t duplicated our efforts. We can also discuss techniques and information about videos, screencasting and audio. I’ve used Camtasia (Windows version) since version 2.5 and do all my videos with this program. And I use Audacity for audio editing. The target audience for videos I’m working on is the absolute WordPress beginner. Someone who just started or is considering using WordPress. I plan to do a video for each of the admin screens (about 33 in all) giving an overview of that screen, not necessarily a how-to but more of a “this is what this screen does”. I am uploading any videos where the admin screen will not change with WP3.6 and I will be screencasting the others for WP3.6 Some of the others ideas I had are: PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. videos (I’ve done one on the Displays Widgets plugin) Videos on some common support questions and solutions Videos about setting-up and using cameras at meetups and WordCamps What is anyone else using or planning? ### Share this: * [ Threads ](https://make.wordpress.org/tv/2013/04/11/sharing-video-ideas-ive-uploaded-several-screencasts-over/?share=threads) * [ Mastodon ](https://make.wordpress.org/tv/2013/04/11/sharing-video-ideas-ive-uploaded-several-screencasts-over/?share=mastodon) * [ Bluesky ](https://make.wordpress.org/tv/2013/04/11/sharing-video-ideas-ive-uploaded-several-screencasts-over/?share=bluesky) * [ Facebook ](https://make.wordpress.org/tv/2013/04/11/sharing-video-ideas-ive-uploaded-several-screencasts-over/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://make.wordpress.org/tv/2013/04/11/sharing-video-ideas-ive-uploaded-several-screencasts-over/?share=x) * [ LinkedIn ](https://make.wordpress.org/tv/2013/04/11/sharing-video-ideas-ive-uploaded-several-screencasts-over/?share=linkedin) * [Login to Reply](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Ftv%2F2013%2F04%2F11%2Fsharing-video-ideas-ive-uploaded-several-screencasts-over%2F%23respond&locale=en_US) ### Like this: Like Loading… 1. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9cd26c82db40b1e515c8bd0be8db838d374a0eae2abcdaac5aff92b7857fe6bd? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 2.

I’ve been liking your videos a lot Michael, so please keep it up! 4. * I use Screenflow for Mac to do my videos, and Adobe Soundbooth for my audio. I also use a cheapie Blue Snowball mic, but still need to build a better home studio space. * I’ve already uploaded a video for menus in 3.6 (for when it’s launched) and probably will do a few videos around using the media uploader and working with media in pages/posts. * I was also considering setup videos for each of the Jetpack modules, but that is a lower priority. * I love the video setup and meetups/camps videos. That would be a HUGE help to WC orgs and also would improve the quality of submissions I think. Someone please do this! 5. One thing I haven’t heard, but would be totally fair game, is videos for themes and plugins. Premium themes/plugins are OK so long as they are GPLGPL GPL is an acronym for GNU Public License.
