software for recording screen movement?

All,

Excuse my Ignorance….but

I've been asked to translate my work to video. And as many of you know that cant be done without losing the essence of the work (interaction). But these are the demands so…

Does anyone know of a good program to use that will record my playing with the work
on the screen and then translate that to a video format?

I have used some homemade type programs before, but they are always buggy and
messy.

I can of course film the screen via external camera, but a more direct approach would
be nice.

excuse my ignorance again,

Jason Nelson

Hi Jason,
I had to do that once and managed to locate a webpage full of
different programs for recording video from the screen. Of course,
they varied in quality. The first one I used turned everything that
was gray to pink. Not good, especially since the imagery I was
recording was primarily in grayscale. The one I ended up using is
called movie grab and is a usable demo. The quality was quite good
but it doesn't do audio.

http://eskimonorth.com/~pristine/screen.html is the page with all the
apps.

if you're using Mac OS X the best program is Snapz Pro.

Not cheap, but it does a fantastic job. I used it to create a little
'reel' of MTAA's net art.

I've used Camtasia - http://www.techsmith.com/ to do this. It's very effective and has loads of features.
