I get great deals of concerns sent to me each week. There is one that I get asked more regularly than any other. That is, “what are you utilizing to make your videos.” Normally, people ask that due to the fact that they desire to know how Im highlighting my mouse pointer in my videos or how Im creating the moving oval cut-out of my cam.

One of those cropping choices is to utilize an oval. When Im making longer videos Ill also use the clip combining tools, transition tools, and text overlay tools that are available in Screencast-o-matic.

If you see it in other places, it has been used without approval.

A Comparison of Other Screencasting Tools.

Screencast-o-matic is the tool that I utilize to develop nearly all of the videos that appear on my YouTube channel. Screencast-o-matic is offered in a browser-based version and in a desktop “deluxe” variation. I utilize the desktop version unless Im using my Chromebook..
The deluxe variation of Screencast-o-matic is the paid variation that costs $1.65/ month. With that version comes the alternative to crop and resize the cam view that you can overlay on your screencast. One of those cropping alternatives is to use an oval. Thats what I do. Screencast-o-matic also offers the alternative to have actually a highlighted circle follow your mouse tip on your screen. When Im making longer videos Ill likewise utilize the clip combining tools, shift tools, and text overlay tools that are readily available in Screencast-o-matic.
