the Scraster Professional Screencasting Process | Scraster Professional Screencasting: Professional Screencast Production

If you’ve ever tried to create a screencast yourself, you know it’s difficult and frustrating. At Scraster, producing professional screencasts is our business and, as a result, we’ve ironed out a methodical workflow that assures a speedy delivery with the minimal time commitment possible from you, the client. Here’s how it works:

	SCRIPT WRITING. After a brief consultation with the client to understand their needs and objectives, the instructional design team at Scraster Professional Screencasting goes to work on crafting a clear and concise script. The script, complete with visual cues, is reviewed and approved by the client.
	THE AUDIO. With years of radio and audio production experience, Scraster understands the importance of a top-notch vocal track. With our professional recording equipment and digital editing software, we can optionally provide in-house narration solutions or we can tap our huge database of talented voice-over artists to pinpoint any specific voice desired.
	THE VIDEO SCREEN CAPTURE. To capture the video of the screencast, Scraster uses the most current version of ScreenFlow Professional Screencasting Studio, which makes extensive use of Mac OSX’s superior video technologies. Mouse movements are made with expert dexterity and captured with maximum clarity.
	POST PRODUCTION.Post-production is the area in which Scraster Professional Screencasting most apparently differentiates itself from amateur producers. Zoom and pan effects are created and mouse callouts keep the viewer tuned in to the mouse through its movement between screen actions and screen highlighting works to focus the viewer’s attention and emphasize the most important areas of the screen. Creative editing techniques are employed to keep the video’s movement as fluid as possible and a host of graphic and animation softwares are used to add an extra pop to the screencast.
	DELIVERY AND CONSULTATION. When production is complete and the video file is delivered in any format of the clients choosing, Scraster’s work is not over. Scraster is committed to additionally offering its clients a complimentary consultation regarding online distribution and how to utilize free Web 2.0 tools and platforms for web sharing.
