you have to plan it out otherwise the viewer will get dizzy

I just looked at Adam Bien's screencasts, he just keeps his face down there all the time, but that would be much better I think.

raywenderlich.com and tutsplus.com go in and out of the webcam shot

it is nice when compared to an unchanging shot of an IDE

you start reading the IDE while the speaker is talking about something else

It will require a lot more planning. I just go right now, makes it easier to actually produce something, but the quality suffers of course.

yeah. i get a bunch of hits on my youtube channel, where I wing it. I spend more production time on https://courses.bekwam.net/public_tutorials

Seems like a good way to do it.

I can't use too much time post processing or I won't produce anything at all. Easier when I can just fire and forget.

The Sun Keyboard works great for screencasts though. Very quiet.

@carlw In OBS, you can actually create multiple scenes and switch between them either with shortcuts or automatically based on some conditions, like what window is active etc.

You can then have one scene which zooms in on the coding window and one that shows the app and possible that mug.

@edvin tutsplus.com sometimes does a two camera shoot

@edvin is there some documentation about the proxyproperty?

@ron No, it was mainly meant as an internal helper, but I will document it 🙂

@edvin when I use the alternative syntax with a boolean property. intellij gives me a warning

@ron Let's see it.

val hidetoTrayProperty = SimpleBooleanProperty() var hidetoTray by hidetoTrayProperty

It wants you to specify the type of the var, right?

You can do it if you care about it, or you can mute that warning.

Error:(25, 23) Kotlin: Property delegate must have a 'getValue(KeepassPreferences, KProperty<*>)' method. None of the following functions is suitable: public open fun getValue(): Boolean! defined in javafx.beans.property.SimpleBooleanProperty

Ah, I see.

import tornadofx.getValue

and

import.tornadofx.setValue

Or just

import tornadofx.*

I do

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

Wrong file? No

hideToTrayProperty

there.

Oh, I think I know what the issue is. You try to execute the val. Change

preferences.hideToTrayProperty()

to

preferences.hideToTrayProperty

oh wait I am stupid

wrong class 🙂
