Screen Casts on Mac

Screen casts can be created on a Mac using QuickTime. To improve resolution, use a selection rectangle that is smaller than the screen. Be sure to maintain the correct aspect ratio, or parts of the final video will be cropped.

I use dimensions of 760x570 when creating screen casts of applications (4:3 aspect ratio).

After creating the video, I can share it to iMovie and edit it.
Share -> iMovie

In iMovie, Import -> Movies and select the screen recording. Create a new project and new event. The event will hold the movie clips. Drag clips into the project.

Share -> Export to QuickTime as MPEG-4

MPEG-4 was scaled too small. I exported it to youtube and it was full sized.
