A Comparison of Other Screencasting Tools.

Screencast-o-matic is the tool that I use to produce almost all of the videos that appear on my YouTube channel. Screencast-o-matic is readily available in a browser-based version and in a desktop “luxurious” version. I use the desktop variation unless Im utilizing my Chromebook..
The luxurious 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. Among those cropping alternatives is to utilize an oval. Thats what I do. Screencast-o-matic also offers the option to have a highlighted circle follow your mouse tip on your screen. When Im making longer videos Ill also make use of the clip merging tools, transition tools, and text overlay tools that are offered in Screencast-o-matic.
