Captioning uses or adds 100 pixels to the bottom of your screencast.
• Don’t want to cover up screencast so:– Easiest way is to add 100 pixels of blank space
at the bottom of your screencast while you are recording it!
– For 16x9, this means 960 x 440 recording space + 100 for captions
960 x 540 TOTAL
