You will prepare a short screencast (2-3 minutes) demonstrating your project, which you will upload to YouTube/Vimeo.
- Do not put your video in your Github repository or e-mail it to us, since it'll be at least 500MB.
- Record a quick test video first. Otherwise you'll end up with this.
- Make sure your microphone is turned on. See previous comment.
Your video must be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo or a similar service. Please do not e-mail us your video or put it in a Github repository since it will probably be at least 500MB.
If you have a Gmail account, you already have a YouTube account. Just go to https://www.youtube.com/dashboard.
Your video must include...
- ...your voice loud enough to be heard. Speak loudly and clearly when recording!
- ...a description and demo of your app
- ...a code sample explaining one thing you're proud of
- ...one thing you would do differently next time
- ...the next feature you would like to implement
You may use any video-recording mechanism you wish. Whichever you choose, we recommend that you make a quick test video first.
Include a link to your video as an issue on this repository.
QuickTime Player is in the Applications folder of your Mac. Notice that if you go to the "File" menu you can create a "New Screen Recording"! This collects audio as well; it's how instructors screencast lessons. You can then save your video to your computer and upload it to YouTube.
Make sure you turn on the microphone before recording.
If you're feeling really fancy you can use iMovie -- also in your Applications folder -- to swankify your video. However, this should be a priority far below actually completing your project. Having a snazzy-looking video isn't on the rubric!
