So you want to make a screencast?
summary
Contract from O'Reilly leads to a 5.5 hour Python screencast produced in three months of full‑time unpaid work, using Jupyter Notebook, Camtasia and a noise‑cancelling headset; scripting every keystroke and mouse move cuts editing time and keeps recordings clean. Publisher enforces deliverable count tied to royalties, gives 720p resolution and Camtasia license guidance, and analytics show a few hundred downloads early on — valuable for credibility but not lucrative.
