Video editing software for tutorials

ae.

Im going to start making a series of video tutorials and would like to see what everyone here uses for that purpose? im not much of a writer:poly142:

really all i need is a video capturing device but not fraps!

also something that will help me edit and add sound to my clips

Yozora

Camtasia

Japhir

freez screen video capture for the capturing, cyberlink powerdirector for editing. but i don't know if it's any good... it works :P

Camtasia worked for me in the past

Virtualdubmod is a good freeware video editor. Freeware editors Jahshaka and Avidemux are also interesting, worth a look.

I have made dozens of video tutorials, and Camtasia is far and away the best program I've used (I've tried almost every free one there was). It can take care of simple editing as well (cutting stuff up and inserting other video, images, etc), no need to render it out and edit it in another program. Also the compression/export is easy to use.

I used to use Snagit and now recommend Camtasia.

Camtasia + virtualdub to edit.

Camtasia is good, but keep in mind a license is $299 (at least last time I checked).

Camstudio (the program ElisumGX is kindly linking to above) has two notable features.

1. It's free.

2. It works.

Those are two compelling arguments for the budget-minded tutorial author. I have downloaded and used Camstudio to record some WoW footage, and it works. It isn't that hard to figure out or use, and I would overall recommend it.
