How to Re-record a Walkthrough After a UI Change
A triage rule for which videos a redesign actually breaks, and how to match the original capture conditions so the replacement does not look like a different product.
Screen recording and product video
Recording, narrating and re-recording product walkthroughs without a studio, a quiet room, or a seventh take.

The Screencast Handbook
All 7 guides on screen recording and product video in a single PDF, plus a one-page checklist to print and a short opener on which three things matter most. Formatted to read on screen or on paper.
How to Record a Product Walkthrough Video
One task, one rehearsed click path, narration recorded separately. The setup and sequence that produces a usable walkthrough without a studio or a seventh take.
How to Script a Screencast Before You Record
A two-column script - what the screen does, what the voice says - that turns a fifteen-take recording session into a three-take one and survives being handed to someone else.
How to Add Subtitles to a Product Video
Auto-transcribe, then fix the product nouns by hand. How to produce a caption file that stays searchable, translatable and readable rather than burning text into the pixels.
How to Narrate a Tutorial Without Recording Your Voice
Three workable alternatives - on-screen text, synthesised speech, and deliberate silence - and the production details that stop each one sounding like a corner was cut.
How to Record a Demo Without Exposing Customer Data
Video leaks differently from screenshots: it leaks for one frame, in a dropdown, in a notification banner. The setup that keeps real data out of the recording entirely.
How to Choose Between a GIF and a Video for Documentation
A duration test, a control test and a sound test that settle the question in under a minute - plus why the right answer to 'GIF' is usually a silent looping MP4.
Stop doing it by hand
Every video you record is a snapshot of the UI on the day you recorded it. SupportPages generates walkthroughs from your codebase, so they can be regenerated instead of re-shot.
