Record Everything at Once

Using this method, you record each recording source in a single session—simultaneously recording the display, camera video, microphone audio, and computer audio. When you are done recording, you can use the editing tools to finalize your screencast project.

For example, you might start a screencast project by recording your display, then cut to a Picture-in-Picture of a camera recording, as you demonstrate the application. Later, you fade out your video, leaving only the audio to narrate the remaining moments of the screencast.

This method is considered a single-pass production. It works well when your subject matter is simple, straightforward, or short. For longer or more complex screencast projects, you may find the second approach more comfortable.
