Default Do you create video tutorials?
What screencasting software do you use? Any recommendations or horror stories? Pros and cons?

I see that we can create video posts on the forums. Do any of you have experience with using that tool as well?

Hi Alise,
ScreenVirtuoso Professional was recommended to me by another VA. I haven't had a chance
to actually test it out as of yet but as far as I can see it looks pretty user friendly.
Hope this helps?
Good Luck
Jacki

I use Camtasia for my video screencasting. It's a little spendy but they let you download and try it for free. It's one of the top in the industry for screencasting.

I use Camtasia as well and it seems to be the most user friendly.

I use Camtasia as well. Another free one made by Techsmith (the makers of Camtasia) is Jing Project (http://www.techsmith.com/jing/). The only con is that you have a 5 minute limit for recording with Jing.

Camtasia and Jing from Techsmith are highly recommended.

There's another free one called Camstudio but I believe you cannot edit it out.

But for speedy 5 minute screencasting videos, Jing is highly recommended and is free.. can be hosted on screencast.com too!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I don't think I can justify the cost of Camtasia at the moment, but I may look into Jing for my shorter tutorials.

If anyone else has a favorite tool, please post it here!

For Mac Users, ScreenFlow works very well.

i think the microsoft expression encoder is quite good for screen capture (of course, it's free version of me to use). Pro are HD quality.
Cons, the screen capture time is limited to 10 minutes. Thanks
