And it is much cheaper than Camtasia. Don't know how it compares, but it is packed with features for sure.

It has lots of features to make and edit movies. For making videos, tutorials, or whatever, I like this.
Downloaded the trial version and gave it a test run. Nice IMO.

Can record screen activity, can edit movies, merge them, cut them into pieces, convert to Flash or Windows Media format, save and load projects to continue your work, add text, captions, pictures, audio, separate audio, save audio as separate file, change video speeds at anyplace in the movie, resize them, and many more features.

Made a little test drive video, converted to WMV format, using only video, no audio, to reduce file size:

This video I made has watermarks in corners, because it is using the free trial version.
For me it was quick and easy to do, for a beginner to the program.

You know, this is a good thing. I may actually have to buy it. That way I can post videos of basic techniques to my website, and refer people to them.

I'll have to think about that.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Here's another one that some folks have used (I haven't yet, but have downloaded it and plan to give it a try). It's open source and free (well, I guess that's redundant, but okay...).

I've had Camstudio for a couple of years, it works for basic capturing, but for serious video work the BSR is much better IMO, even if just using the free trial, no time limit, version.

There is a Camstudio Pro version for about $29.95, maybe for less on another website? with lots more features than plain Camstudio version.
Camstudio Pro

But the BSR registered version for $39.95 with movie studio has it beat by a mile. And if you upgrade to the Movie Lab later you can really do much more with the extras that it gives you.

I used to use CamStudio at my old job to make training videos of mouse movement sequences. Imported the output into Windows Movie Maker for adding in a sound track. For my hack skills, worked just fine.

The same company that makes Camtasia also has a product called SnagIt. Costs quite a bit less, lots of features. Been using it for about 10 years now. Has a large following, great tech support, lots of add-ins and integrates with lots of other software titles.

It's a great program for graphics design. I used it in IT for years to document instructional how-to's for 3000+ computer users as well as printed user guides, etc. One additional feature is that it allows you to document in printed format, PDF and electronic (i.e. streaming video, still graphics, etc.)

More info and a 30-day free trial is at http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp.
