May the 4th Be With You!

Over the past few weeks, I have shared with you a series of tutorials that showcase the capability of Screencastify's video editor.

Let's put all of those skills together to learn how to make a video out of the Star Wars Crawl in anticipation of May the Fourth. Click here to see what a finished project in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week would look like.

Learn how to make your own below.

Who Knew?!--Screencastify: Zoom

Did you know you can "zoom in" at a given point on your Screencastify videos to focus the viewer's attention

Screencastify makes it easy to add a "zoom" effect to a video recording in the Screencastify Editor. This is really helpful for showing elements like:

• typing in a web address
• clicking on a specific part of the screen
• not displaying sensitive information by zooming into a different part of the video instead

Learn how below.

Who Knew?!--Screencastify: Text

Did you know you can add text overlays to your Screencastify videos? 

This comes in handy if you want to add a title to your video, create quick notes, clarify/correct something, and more.

Who Knew?!--Screencastify: Blur

When you create a screencast, it is important to be cognizant of what is on your screen when you are recording so that you don't violate anyone's privacy. Fortunately, Screencastify's editor allows you to tidy up your videos with their editing tools. 

Did you know you can "blur" content in your Screencastify videos to obscure sensitive information and/or images?

Learn how in the video below.
