To clarify, though: I don=E2=80=99t think we need to use a screen recorder,= or at least it would be a very small part of this project. I think of the command line sessions to be very focused and to be only one of the visual components of a <4min video. When we do show commands and their output it could be useful to record just the text and to time the output such that it fits the script exactly. -- Ricardo
