I like applications that make my life easier. Anything that helps me avoid post production for example is usually something I’ll fall in love with if I can apply it to my work. If you noticed in the last screencast, I was able to better display screen shortcuts sans what Screenflow offered me. While Screenflow is certainly an excellent tool, its specific text tools were not geared towards my application. Instead, I was using something called Mouseposé, which is a must have if you ever do screencasts. Many of you probably already know about it, or even have it. I just came across this wonderful tool, and would like to share my walkthrough with all the other new screencasters out there.
Mouseposé is simple. It’s effective. And it just works. Take my word for it when I say you’ll quickly earn back the money you spend on this application as the quality of your reviews are substantially increased - even if you ever do screencasts about Mouseposé itself! It provides a myriad of options to highlight your mouse on screen, visually show clicks, and provides feedback of keys pressed. While more applicable to modifier keys rather than sentences, it’s just what I need for giving you nice big text to follow along to.
If you have fifteen minutes to spare, I’d like to run you through this application, video style, so that you can appreciate just how much this will do for you with software or onscreen reviews.
