I find screencasts most useful for getting a feel for new software relatively quickly. Seeing how an experienced used does things can get you started a lot faster than reading through docs until things click. To me their utility begins to decline after this.
- tjstankus 17y agoI'm with you. I like screencasts for getting started with a new tool but once I'm up and running I tend to reach for in-depth written documentation or reference materials. But, this makes screencasts really valuable IMO. When you have an hour to evaluate something a screencast seems more useful than a massive book.
