  • This is the name of the video file you are creating. Because we will be making a video file in the mp4 format, I like to name this file "something.mp4".
  • Although you can click the Video drop down menu to select a video format, I have found the best quality using the default setting, which is H.264 + AAC (MP4).
  • (Note that "AAC" refers to the audio format, but your screencast will not have any audio.)
