 1. Storyboard and narration
     1. Collect things to show (and not to show) in [`README.md`](README.md)
-    2. Write down narration (mark in color how to emphasize it), e.g. with _LibreOffice Writter_ (see for example [`general_and_git/narration.odt`](general_and_git/narration.odt))

 2. Screen recording
     1. Preparation:
         * Display settings: **1920x1080** with **175%** scaling
         * Via _ClearType Switch_ **turn off _ClearType_** (keep _Enable smooth edges for screen font_)
         * Taskbar settings: **_Automatically hide taskbar in desktop mode_**
-    2. Record screencast(s) via _CamStudio_:
-        * _Region > **Full Screen**_
-        * _Options > Video Options_
-            * _CamStudio **Lossless** Codec v1.5_
-            * **125** _frames/second_
-            * _Auto Adjust_
-            * _Lock Capture and Playback Rates_
-        * _Options > Do not record audio_
-    3. Record intro/outro animations:
-        * E.g. create animation with InkScape (with manually added [SVG animation elements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVG_animation)) and record the animation shown in a web browser (less flickering in _Chrome_ than in _Firefox_; converting text into path objects also reduces flickering) in full screen (F11) mode

 3. Audio recording
     1. Record narration (e.g. with _Roland R-09HR_) read by a human speaker ([no, it's not Cortana](https://www.eclipse.org/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg14950.html)) in a single audio file (if a sentence didn't work out for the first time, the speaker repeats it)
-4. Video editing
-    1. Convert videos from **AVI to MOV** (as _DaVinci Resolve_ cannot read the AVI recordings by _CamStudio_):
-        * _Format_
-            * _Format: **MOV**_
-            * _File Extension: mov_
-            * _Video only_
-        * _Video_
-            * _Mode: Convert_
-            * _Codec: MPEG-4_
-            * _Rate control mode: **VBR (Variable bitrate)**_
-            * _Bitrate: **20000**_
-            * _Maximum Bitrate (kbps): **30000**_
-            * _Minimum Bitrate (kbps): 0_
-            * _GOP length: 0 (Auto.)_
-    2. Compose video and audio clips and do the **video cutting** using _DaVinci Resolve 15_
+4. Video editing, e.g via _DaVinci Resolve_
 5. Publishing
     1. Upload to **YouTube** (maybe in future also to Vimeo which provides fullscreen when the video is embedded in a website in contrast to YouTube)
