Question

video screen capture

Good Morning Everyone,

I'm looking to get a set of tutorials on Creo 2 started for our internal user group, and I was wondering if any of you have used video capture software with Creo. The only experience I had was with Adobe RoboDemo 5 (now Captivate) back in 2003, but it wouldn't capture the graphics region reliably. I figured I'd grab some video and use After Effects and Premier to get the video professional looking.

Is there anything out there that works? I figured ten years should count for some progress in this type of software. I'm currently using Windows 7.

Thanks!

Dave,

You can capture videos using SnagIt (they can be somewhat grainy). I would highly recommend Camtasia Studio - I've had great success with that package creating training videos for our users

I've never used it, but Fraps seems to be popular in the gaming world:

Also check screencast-o-matic. It also has a free version that works well from the browser.

I use Camtasia Studio.

There is a fully functional trail version that you can download and see if it is worth the $300.00.



It is easy to create and edit videos (with after effect, captions, etc.,) and can produce multiple formats.

Thanks everyone for your input. It looks like I've got a few tools to try. If one really stands out from the other, I'll post my recommendation.

Thanks again,

-Dave

Dave,



I have tried all the programs mentioned here. I use Camtasia Studio to create tutorials/training videos for my users. It's the best application listed here. The quality and editing functions are fantastic. Chances are if you see a video tutorial that displays the computer screen, it was done with Camtasia Studio.



Here is a YouTube channel that I am getting started. All Creo Parametric videos are done with Camtasia Studio and a decent head microphone. I hope to get a Blue Yetti microphone sometime.

One really nice feature of Camtasia, is you can record the entire screen and then when editing, zoom in on various areas of interest.
That way you can export a smaller resolution video, and still have the users be able to see what you're doing.

As for mic's, I have this. Multiple sellers have it for $129-$149

Again, let me thank everyone for their input. It looks like we have a winner. I got my manager to sign off on Camtasia. I can't wait to see what I can put together with Camtasia, After Effects and Premier.

Thanks again, and have a great day!
