Jing Pro & HD Video on YouTube: Definitive How-To
Want to put some sweet-looking screencasts up on YouTube? It's easier than ever, and Brooks shows you how. (See outline of steps below video.) In Brooks' last post I gave him a hard time about that face close-up. I mean, people are trying to learn stuff here! The good news is that Brooks took efforts to make his intros a little more bearable. Did it work? You be the judge.
I also made a convenient PDF (less than 2 pages) with all the steps too.
Overview:
- You need Jing Pro, and a YouTube account.
- Create a YouTube button in Jing.
- Record a video in 16:9 aspect ratio (Hold Shift while selecting area) at 1280 x 720 dimensions.
- Upload to YouTube, and wait while your video is processed!

Well, I tried this, and ... unless I evolve enough to grow a third hand sometime soon, I can't simultaneously hold down the Shift key and drag an area using a laptop touchpad mouse. Any hope of making the Shift key selection sticky?
Err, is there something I'm not understanding? Hold down the Shift key with your left hand and use your right thumb to hold down the mouse button. You then use your right index finger to drag the selection. Since it "snaps" to the correct aspect as you expand it, you should have no trouble getting it to 1280x720. He even does this in the video tutorial!
Thanks Very Good Hosting
