Screen cap/recording software for tutorial video

• flashbender

  I have a colleague who needs to make a tutorial of how to use some software. He needs to record his interaction with a program and then go in and edit the video to put in descriptions and instructions.

  Does anyone know of or used a program that will allow this? Preferably no too expensive and windows based.

  I used a program that did exactly this like 6 years ago, but have no idea what it was called.

  those look good, but the person who is looking for this is on a windows machine.

  @Flashbender, I see you're looking for a Windows machine so I have no advice.

  But for Mac users, I found SnapzPro to be an annoying, unreliable system hog. A few years ago I got fed up with it and started testing out other apps. I came across iShowU. It's got a silly name but it's fantastic. If you're currently using SnapzPro I strongly encourage you to give this a try instead.

  ScreenFlow has reasonable postproduction capabilities, ishowu as I understand it, has none.

  Try both but the answer is ScreenFlow.
