+# Screencast script
+
+1. Intro
+========
+Let's demo tmux resurrect plugin.
+
+Tmux resurrect enables persisting tmux sessions, so it can survive the dreaded
+system restarts.
+
+The benefit is uninterrupted workflow with no configuration required.
+
+2. Working session
+==================
+Script
+------
+Let me show you what I have in this tmux demo session.
+
+First of all, I have vim open and it has a couple files loaded.
+
+Then there's a tmux window with a couple splits in various directories across
+the system.
+
+Next window contains tmux man page,
+  and then there's `htop` program.
+
+And this is just one of many projects I'm currently running.
+
+Actions
+-------
+- blank tmux window
+- vim
+  - `ls` to show open files
+- multiple pane windows (3)
+- man tmux
+- htop
+- psql
+- show a list of session
+
+3. Saving the environment
+=========================
+Script
+------
+With vanilla tmux, when I restart the computer this whole environment will be
+lost and I'll have to invest time to restore it.
+
+tmux resurrect gives you the ability to persist everything with
+prefix plus alt-s.
+
+Now tmux environment is saved and I can safely shut down tmux with a
+kill server command.
+
+Actions
+-------
+- prefix + M-s
+- :kill-server
+
+4. Restoring the environment
+============================
+Script
+------
+At this point restoring everything back is easy.
+
+I'll fire up tmux again. Notice it's completely empty.
+
+Now, I'll press prefix plus alt-r and everything will restore.
+
+Let's see how things look now.
+First of all, I'm back to the exact same window I was in when the environment
+was saved. Second - you can see the `htop` program was restored.
+
+Going back there's tmux man page
+  a window with multiple panes with the exact same layout as before
+  and vim.
+
+
+tmux resurrect takes special care of vim. By leveraging vim's sessions, it
+preserves vim's split windows, open files, even the list of files edited before.
+
+Check out the project readme for more details about special treatment for vim.
+
+That was just one of the restored tmux sessions. If I open tmux session list you
+can see all the other projects are restored as well.
+
+
+When you see all these programs running you might be concerned that this plugin
+started a lot of potentially destructive processes.
+
+For example, when you restore tmux you don't want to accidentally start backups,
+resource intensive or sensitive programs.
+
+There's no need to be worried though. By default, this plugin starts only a
+conservative list of programs like vim, less, tail, htop and similar.
+This list of programs restored by default is in the project readme. Also, you
+can easily add more programs to it.
+
+If you feel paranoid, there's an option that prevents restoring any program.
+
+Actions
+-------
+- tmux
+- prefix + M-r
+
+- open previous windows
+- in vim hit :ls
+
+- prefix + s for a list of panes
+
+5. Outro
+========
+That's it for this demo. I hope you'll find tmux resurrect useful.
