You may have seen my article on how to start a blog in 5 minutes. If you are a blogger, then you can create video tutorials like this and post on youtube and then provide that tutorial in your blog or website. You can also give your blog name in that video and upload that video on youtube and in this way you can always expect a large number youtube visitors on your blog. I have just found a wonderful tool for capturing screen and audio activity on your computer and create AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into hosting’s bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs) . It’s name is CamStudio. CamStudio is a simple and user friendly tool to record screen activity to AVI or SWF format. You can also record audio from your speakers or microphone. It also comes with its own Lossless Codec that produces crystal clear results with a much smaller filesize. Here you have total control over the output of your video, you can choose to use custom cursors, to record the whole screen or just a section of it and can reduce or increase the quality of the recording depending on if you want smaller videos in the case of emailing that video or you can have “best quality” ones for burning onto CD/DVD.
Benefits of using CamStudio –
- To create demonstration videos for any software program
- To create video-based information products you can sell
- To record new tricks and techniques you discover on your favourite softwares.
- Video tutorials for schools or colleges
- To record a recurring problem with your computer so you can show technical support people
You can download and use it completely personal and commercial projects as CamStudio and the Codec are released under the GPL.
