![]() Visit to get started with Autodesk Screencast. Screencast is a free download from, and with it you can record videos of any length, and share them either publicly or privately at no cost on the Screencast website. Using that timeline, viewers can fast-forward (or rewind) to those key moments in your recording, so even if I neglected to mention something in my audio commentary, Autodesk Screencast still captures every step for viewers.Īlthough you can record anything on your screen, Screencast delivers compiles detailed timelines for Autodesk Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, and their verticals. This timeline captures the precise moment each command is started, every dialog that opens, and more. If you view the same video on the Autodesk Screencast website, an additional timeline is displayed below the video. In the embedded version of the video above, a panel displays everything I did within AutoCAD Civil 3D during the recording. There are plenty of tools that allow you to record and share videos, but what makes Autodesk Screencast unique is the metadata it captures as you record a video. I tried installing another Screen Recorder (RecForth) and that also doesnt work. I enlisted Autodesk Screencast for the job, and recorded the following video I sent to the customer: DragonForest Created on ApScreen Recorder not working Hello - I installed a screen recorder from Autodesk (Autodesk Screencast) which was working fine, until a recent upgrade. ![]() The fix was simple, but writing a step-by-step response would have taken longer than it would for me to show the customer how to solve the issue they were experiencing. Did I right-click or left-click to access a tool, or was it a Ctrl key combination? Learning to properly address these details on-screen has (IMHO) been among the most difficult barriers to people effectively sharing their knowledge with others.įirst introduced as an Autodesk Labs project, Autodesk recently introduced an incredible tool that Autodesk describes as “a simple way to capture and share what you know.” After using Autodesk Screencast for the last several months to assist in supporting some of our customers, I’m not sure recording, editing, and sharing a video could be any easier.Įarlier this week I had a customer contact me asking how they could turn on Point Labels in their AutoCAD Civil 3D drawing. As a result, some of my earliest videos neglected to communicate to the viewer some of the things you don’t see on the screen. It took me a while to truly realize just how complicated even the simplest AutoCAD procedure could be. I remember some of my earliest technical support videos were not very well received by the people I was sending them to. While the value of a video is greater than that of an email both for myself and the recipient, it’s not to say video doesn’t come without complications. I find it possible to record in a minute what might take me five minutes to write in an email (an instant value for me). If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a video worth? For me, video has long been an invaluable tool for supporting end-users first as a CAD manager, and today in my role at CADD Microsystems. ![]()
