creating videos of projects

Jason posted a while ago asking for software packages that let you fairly
easily create a video of your onscreen project. For juries and such.

Someone recommended Macromedia Captivate. Thanks. I've checked it out and it
seems pretty good especially for online distribution.

I had a prob with it though. I want to be able to narrate and have other
audio in the background from my project at the same time. I'm under the
impression that you can't do that with Captivate.

Have just downloaded the trial version of Camtasia which I think gets around
that prob. So I'd also recommend checking out Camtasia.

Hey Jim,

this is great info, thanks. I bet lots of us need to do this.

on a related note Jon Udell does something similar he calls
'screencasting' & has a useful page of resources and explanations:

as well as a good general introduction (with how-to info): http://
digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2005/11/16/what-is-screencasting.html

he mentions a mac-based option, combining Snapz Pro X and iMovie HD
as well.
