Have you ever found it such a pain to tell someone how to do something over the phone. Or its you mum, dad or grandma who wants to do something in the computer but just can't seem to understand what you are talking about. Or maybe you want to create your own training video. Why take a screen shot to show them when you can show them exactly with a video. Well life is pretty neat when you have not 1 but I will show you 2 FREE applications that can help you do a screen recording. Read on...
WINK A screen recording is quick and easy way to tell people how to do something on the computer... the first application I want to talk about is Wink... First of all it is FREE... You can do a screen recording of part of a screen, whole screen or just a window. After recording the program presents you with thumbnails. You can edit the screen recording, and also you can annotate and place comments. All this is really excellent. The final recording can be generated as a swf file or a standalone exe. My only gripe about the application is that the generated exe file does not work on Windows Vista. I guess it might be some thing to do with the version of shockwave player they might be using. But at least the generated .swf and .htm files work properly. But one other problem is that the program commits suicide when you generate large demos. Here are some screenshots of the options available for recording
This is the main working area where you can modify and annotate your demo recording
Here are some of the features of Wink from the Wink website:
CAMSTUDIO The other free application I wanna talk about is camstudio. Its free as well and the interface is easy to use. It is able to generate screen recordings as avi and swf files. But support in Vista is horrible. If you are using Windows XP you might wanna consider this application if you want a simpler interface. Otherwise I suggest going with Wink. This is a screenshot of the camstudio application
This software is well written and has an easy to use interface but because of the poor Vista support I give it
