3. Screencasting

Many interactive or animated visualizations must be shown through a web browser or the native application in which it was created. Stopping a presentation to launch another application is disruptive to the flow of a slide presentation. Instead, pre-record the animation or interaction that you want to show during the live presentation. Embed the recording in your slide presentation.
