To not lose the initial description, i put it there :
---------------------
Hi all,

First, I have just discovered today OpenShot (0.9.34 on ubuntu jaunty) ,
and i love it :) Thanks all for your hard work.

Here some ideas for openshot, to use it easily for screencasting.

- as Kdenlive, maybe integrate recordmydesktop in Openshot ?

- as Lives, it can be a good idea when you click on a window that you
want to screencast, the window appear in Lives itself. However Lives
can't record the mouse pictures.

- With Kdenlive you can record the whole screen, or a part of the
screen. If you want to record a part of the screen you have to put
manually the window's data (position, width...). It can be a good idea
to include also the possibility to click on the window that you want to
record (something as that : recordmydesktop -windowid $( xwininfo -frame
| awk '/window id:/ {print $4}' ) , but i don't know why, this command
don't function actually on my pc).

- more great, you offer to the user the possibility to define the size
that he will want record (for example 640x480), and after he click on
the window that he want to record, and OpenShot resize this window, and
record it with recordmydesktop. Maybe the use of xwit can be useful for
that ? For example : xwit -resize 630 451 -move 10 30 -select will
resize the window in 640x480. I don't know why it seems that there is a
difference between "-resize value" and the real value resized.

- For the project type, it will be great that we can personalize the
values (for exemple now it seems that I can't use OpenShot because i
don't know how can I have a 15fps for doing screencast).

- It maybe useful to add this project type :

Screencast 4/3 Normal (or 640x480)
Frame width: 640
Frame height: 480
Aspect ratio : 4:3
fps : 15
Progressive : Yes

Screencast 16/9 HD (or 1280x720)
Frame width: 1280
Frame height: 720
Aspect ratio : 16/9
fps : 15
Progressive : Yes

What do you think about this feature requests ?
I hope may be 1 or 2 of this ideas will be helpful, and my english will be understandable :)

Best regards,

pepe

Title:
  Screencasting support

Bug description:
  Initiating a screencast and automatically importing the recorded vido
  should be easy.

  Many apps provide recording functionality of the whole screen, one
  application, or a selected area. It would make sense to integrate with
  one of those:

   * gnome-shell's built-in recording tool
   * Kazam https://launchpad.net/kazam
   * Eidete https://launchpad.net/eidete
