This is a great workaround to a problem that bedevils all screen casting software: how to correct for a jittery user in post. Httpvh://Michael also has created several PNG cursor graphics that he makes available for download. See Michael’s video tutorial on how to replace your mouse cursor: If I want to “fake” where the cursor is, I can do so relatively easily – just stop showing the cursor and show the same image where the cursor “should” be.Luckily, there’s a third option: replace the recorded cursor with an image of my choice, and add smooth movement to it with a video action.Ī very helpful user, Michael Glasser (AKA Prescott Computer Guy), was kind enough to create a video showing exactly how he does this. That might be a good option, but if I’m showing a website that requires lots of clicks or navigation, I risk confusing my audience if I remove my cursor altogether. This is easily done by un-checking the “Show Mouse Pointer” box on the “Screen Recording Properties” panel. Not a very appealing option, frankly.Īnother option is to remove my cursor altogether in post production. One option: I can re-record my screencast and focus on keeping my hands steady as a brain surgeon. Luckily, in ScreenFlow, I have several options for dealing with this. I have a terribly annoying habit of jiggling the mouse cursor on screen in a subconscious attempt to emphasize what I’m talking about. Someone recently asked an interesting question on the forum: What’s the best practice for dealing with a sloppy mouse cursor on a screencast?
