Questions
What counts as silence?
A stretch quiet enough to be nothing, at the start and the end. Pauses in the middle are left alone, because cutting them would change the timing of what you were demonstrating.
Should I speed the recording up?
For a software demo, usually. 1.25 or 1.5 times keeps speech intelligible while removing the dead weight of waiting for pages to load.
How do I crop off the browser bar?
Set the crop from the top to the height of the chrome, which is around 90 to 140 pixels on a typical desktop browser. The crop from the bottom removes a taskbar the same way.
Will speeding it up affect the audio?
The audio is sped up with the picture and the pitch is kept, so a voice sounds faster rather than higher.
