    Default Re: what program do you use? : Video Tutorial creation

    I'm a Camtasia user but a couple of other alternatives that I use are:

    Satish Kumar's excellent "Wink" application from:

    www.debugmode.com.

    It's free and was what we used in college prior to migrating to:

    Blueberry Software's "BBFlashback" available from:

    www.bbsoftware.co.uk

    It's not cheap but is very easy to use.

    I bought Camtasia as it provides a better all round solution, not in the least the ability to include surveys and quizzes but for the teaching staff in general, I opted for BBFlashback as it's so easy to use.

    For what it costs, Snagit is an absolute must have, I couldn't do without it!

    Some of the on this site: http://www.hhtc.org.uk/radio/index.html

    is just put together in XXP with a few Snagit grabs. The template might look familiar to some Xara users! What is interesting is that the video linked on bottom left is a Camtasia screen grab, which it seems to handle better that BBFlashback. (The site isn't finished yet, Jack's a good lad on the way up and needed something quick!)

    Well, after trying ALL of the formats available for email attachments and finding none of them working, I zipped one of the folders and send the whole package to myself as a test and when unzipped the "movie" DID play. Where there's a will there's a way.
    Unless someone knows an easier way.....

    I'm trialling Camtasia atm..
    Seems very good for creating streaming video from my avi's, but screen capture is driving me insane!!

    How do I stop the capture rectangle from flashing while screen recording?
    It's bad enough during normal recording, but autopan mode is driving me up the wall?
    Nothing can I find in the help file about this? Surely there must be a way, I'm definately not going to be the only person who would find this very uncomfortable....

    You wouldn't want to be an epileptic..

    Jing is another free app that's worth trying.

    Interestingly enough, I've been using Movie Edit Pro, that video editing software that always gets a discount from Xara. That's for wacky buttons tutorials. I just make a txt file script and move the mouse and kind of say what I'll be saying on the script, and then do some voice takes over each step.
