I've downloaded alot of video tutorial presentations; most of them in Quick Time .mov format, but I can't seem to find any information on what programs these people are using to make them. Some kind of screen capture with audio setup I suppose. Anyone have any suggestions on this sort of software?

Type "video screen capture software" into yahoo and you'll get loads of links for software that can do this. Some progammes allow you to annoate the video clip with an audio track as you go along. Hypersnap DX is rather good.

OK, I appreciate it. I wasn't sure if it was in fact video screen capture software that I was seeing or some composite of actual videotaping, or maybe even some kind of special hardware doohickeys.

Camtasia Studio is what is used by most professionals for video presentations. Don't know how serious you are about it, but this software does it all...and then some. However, at $299.00,it's not for the casual user.

Also...... Wink is free software that is fantastic for doing quick tut's for software. No audio but uses text or callout boxes.

Thanks Swamp. Camtasia is the name I was trying to remember eariler! An early version was given away on a cover disc in the UK sometime this year.

That "Wink" looks cool, but it only does Flash, I guess. At least from a cursory read of the website, that's what it seems to be saying. Which is fine, but one of the video tuts I wanted to do involved how to install the latest Flash player...for a few of my completely PC-Inept relatives. ;) Camtasia, however looks like exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. :)

Well Wink also saves as a Pdf file which should be good enough to follow.... ...unless you are also doing a tut on installing Acrobat.;-)

LOL!
