So you've just got hold of iShowU Instant, great! Let's jump right in and create your first recording.

Start the app by double-clicking on the iShowU Instant icon.
If the trial box comes up, just click Continue Trial.
Updates are a good thing, so check for those automatically by clicking Check Automatically.
So the first thing is to choose what to record. To record another app, click Application Window, then just click on the app window you wish to record. Easy!
When you're recording the screen you're generally explaining something, so recording the mic is good idea; tick Record microphone and select your microphone in the drop down list.
You can record audio from other apps; you just need to install a driver. We've covered that in a separate video.
The only thing to do now is press record!
When you're done, stop the recording by pressing ⌘⇧2 or by clicking on the iShowU menu item and selecting Stop Recording. iShowU Instant will open the new recording file in QuickTime. That's it! You're done!
