I'm producing lots of screencasts, and this service is perfect for me and my team!

Our workflow is:

- I record "A roll" of me doing things with terminals

- I record audio at the same time

- We edit to shrink the overall runtime, focusing on the audio, eliminating restatements and flubs.

- I record "B roll" of hand-drawn diagrams, illustrating certain points, and again record audio.

- We shrink the B roll, generally cutting the audio down to as small as possible then adjusting the video to fit.

- Splice A+B, add header (title card, spicy theme music) and footer, upload to interwebs, dance a jig.

To be honest it's ... a lot! I want to have a simpler and more direct way for my ideas to be published, so my friends and others can use the ideas to make everyone's lives better. Our current workflow isn't the best. A service like Tella might take a chunk of our drudgery away, which would be great!

It sounds like Tella could help with at least some of that already. We definitely don't have everything you'd find in a desktop editor yet, but it's the plan to have more!
