Full Screen Screencasting is Bad.
99% of the time you should not record the entire screen for a screencast. Many times I’ve watched a technical screencast where someone is coding and I need to see what you’re typing. But, if your computer’s resolution is at 1650x1080 and your screencast has been encoded and resized to 800x600, I can’t read any of it.
Instead, either change the resolution to whatever your output will be or better yet, record only a portion of your screen and make your windows match that size. Recording only a portion is great - it causes your audience to focus.
