Want to record video of stuff you’re doing on your computer, for training purposes or a presentation or whatever? Check out camstudio, a wonderful free little utility. You can record any region of the screen or the entire screen at once, and output to any video codec you have installed in your machine, or to a Flash swf file, and you can record voiceover or text annotations as well. This compares extremely well with the commercial alternatives. The only problems I’ve run into relate to the fact that I have multiple monitors attached to my machine. Well worth a download. We’re going to experiment with it for documentation of weblogging and image gallery usage for students at skidmore. They rarely read the documentation we write so we’re testing to see if they’ll watch the video clips instead.
