Recording and editing screencasts with recordMyDesktop and Audacity

RecordMyDesktop is a nice tool for screencasting. It allows you to record the computer’s screen and your voice. But what if you want a little more? In my case, I wanted to edit the audio track to include music and change volume on my voice in some places.

Before running recordMyDesktop and recording the video, make sure that you have enough disk space available in /tmp. If you don’t, choose a different working directory using the -workdir option.

This runs the recording after waiting for 5 seconds, and uses /home/kasi_sona/tmp as a temporary files directory.

recordmydesktop --delay 5 --workdir /home/kasi_sona/tmp

To stop the recording, you can use Ctrl + Left Alt + s.
