Organizing Media – Example Video

On the heels of our most “recent update”:http://blog.screencast.com/2008/11/making-organizing-easier-1.html, I wanted to make sure I provided an example of moving media around without breaking the links.

Here’s a short (1:24 minute) video:

This video was made on-the-fly with Camtasia Studio 6 (mpeg-4 encoding), a Rode Podcaster microphone, and recorded at my messy desk… although I like to think that the mess absorbs some of the ambient sound in my office.

One point to remember as you organize your media is that changing your Display Name or the name of the folder/playlist will cause your URLs associated with that name or folder/playlist to break. This includes embedded links, embed code, and the MediaRoll.

If you weren’t aware of this, If you’re having problems or want to learn more about Screencast.com you may want to check out the “Help Center”:http://www.screencast.com/answers/. Kelly Mullins, the Help Center Guru, has been hard at work adding tutorials and tons of useful information.
