| I seem to remember someone here speaking highly of a tool they used to make training/demo videos. I basically want something that will capture the screen, allow me to put a speech balloon around various things I'm trying to explain, "zoom" in to a part of the screen, and show mouse movements (preferrably "Smoothed" rather than the jerky movements I will actually make!). Then adding a voice-over sound track would be good.I want to put the result on a web site, so I'm thnking that I remember that the tool-of-choice created Flash, but AVI or somesuch would do too.ThanksKristen |

| Thanks Andy, but that's solving a different problem.I want to create a rolling demo of our stuff with a "Click here to view a demo" link on our web site (so its pretty irrelevant that its on a web page, I guess)I've been doing some Googling, and the only name I've seen that rings a bell was Camtasia - is that something that folks have used?Kristen |
