With ScreenPal, you not only have the .mp4 file that you produce to share with others; you also have the original project file with all the video and audio components maintained in an editable format. If you're doing a lot of screencasting, you may find that the files are taking up too much space on your computer's hard drive. The solution is to take advantage of our cloud storage and put them on your UVM OneDrive account. You can keep all mp4s and project files online and then bring the current one you are working on to your computer.
