We're on a MediaRoll!
See that thing over there on the right? It's called a MediaRoll, and it contains Anton's instructional Jing videos, all in one place! MediaRolls can contain images too--and you don't have to have a fancy blog to take advantage of providing viewers with selected content in one convenient place.
How did I make it? I'll show you. (2:48) You can do it with Jing and your Screencast.com account!
Please take note that if you're offering your MediaRoll to the public at large and lots of people are downloading videos, you could max out your allotted (1 GB per month) Screencast.com bandwidth. Learn more at the Screencast.com Help Center, or watch a video about bandwidth issues .

What's the bandwidth limits for Jing users in screencast.com. I could'nt see my limits in screencast.com account
Hi Mehmet,
Good question-I'm going to update the post to include the answer. It's 1 GB of bandwidth per month.

Can a media roll be created if the videos are not stored on screencast.com. I would prefer to FTP them to my server.
Hi cjmac,
The MediaRoll capability is dependent on Screencast.com so I'm afraid there's no way to have the MediaRoll feature on your FTP server.
Thanks for the great question. Too bad I don't have the answer you're looking for!

I am not use to all this terminology but a mediaroll - can it be used for two videos at a time per media roll and then create seperate groups of mediarolls? I hope this is not a stupid question but I am just trying to figure out how this could be a good marketing tool.
I love the product for what I have used it for so far WOW!! is the best way to put it.
Hi Carl,
First of all, no need to worry about the terminology! MediaRoll isn't exactly a common word out there, and it's something Screencast.com kind of came up with.
As to your question, let me see if I have the right understanding. I will answer in a few ways.
Can you have 1 video in 2 MediaRolls? Yes.
Can you put the same video in 1 MediaRoll multiple times? No. But an easy workaround would be to rename the file and re-upload it.
Can you put a MediaRoll inside a MediaRoll? Hmm, I am almost positive the answer is no, but I can check with the developers to see if there is any way to do that.
Can you have as many MediaRolls as you'd like? Absolutely. You could have some that are more geared toward video and other geared toward images. You could have some that contain content best suited for viewers with low-bandwidth, etc.
I hope this helped--if not, please post back and we'll try again. I am interested in how you want to use Jing and potentially the MediaRoll functionality of Screencast.com.
Thanks for your post,
Mike Curtis
