I just announced over on the WordPress.com blog that we’ve put our first 40 or so screencasts into the wild.
These screencasts were developed with the New York Times folks, and hopefully answer some of the more pressing questions folks have about using WordPress. As such, you’ll now find videos for everything from adding a gallery to embedding YouTube videos directly in the WordPress.com FAQ. For a full list, run a search for “screencast” in the FAQ.
I’d love to hear your feedback or ideas for future additions.
Future videos are likely to take the form of these small one minute, one-off FAQ nuggets, and more intensive step-by-step guides and workshops for newbs and veterans alike (broken down into delicious bite-sized morcels, naturally).
These screencasts are the first of many we’ll be launching as we gear up for a new video destination addition to the WordPress ranks. Expect to hear more about that between now and the launch, which should tie in nicely with the release of WordPress 2.7.
To give you a little taster – here’s a video aimed at people in their first few seconds of WordPressing:
Even though some of these videos are geared towards the WordPress.COM community, I learned a thing or too. Nice.
You’ll have to tell me how you get your panning to be so slow and smooth.

Thanks Shane! We have some .org stuff coming soon, too.
As for panning – it’s just manual keyframing of position and scale in Final Cut Pro.
Cool.
I suspected that technique was outside of Camtasia.
