Jason van Gumster mostly makes stuff up. He writes, animates, and occasionally teaches, all using open source tools. He's run a small, independent animation studio, wrote Blender For Dummies and GIMP Bible, and continues to blurt out his experiences during a [sometimes] weekly podcast, the Open Source Creative Podcast. Adventures (and lies) at @monsterjavaguns.

Much appreciated. I've fixed it in the article. This is what I get for retyping my code rather than copying and pasting it into the text. :)

For what it's worth: OGG or MP4 are fine for one-and-done screen captures, but I've always had a horrible time trying to edit in either of those formats. In that scenario, my preference is to grab lossless h.264 in a Matroska container. Then I edit from that material. Final delivery can be in MP4 or OGG.
