How did you create the figure, using shapes?

I was going to use VideoScribe, but had the same reservations, I wasn't going to use it that often. Good to know about the distortions, Do you know if Inkscape is going to have the same distortion problem as Xara? I assume your animation was done with VideoScribe?

There is another program which is a one time purchase of $67, that I was going to try, VideoMakerfx, http://www.videomakerfx.com/. Doesn't seem as robust as VideoScribe, but haven't used it yet.
