How to produce a screencast in iMovie that doesn’t look like crap. Jun 12 I had a terrible time trying to get a high-quality movie produced from a simple screen capture yesterday.

I captured the screen video using a neat little app called iShowU (which is like a shareware Camtasia for the Mac). I then brought the clips into iMovie. Make sure you start the new project as HDV 720pWhen you’re ready to publish choose File > Export > Quicktime > Expert Settings Choose Options and set the size to match the original resolution of the captured video and adjust quality using the following: The final result ended up like this which is not perfect but looks WAY better than the default output.
