Video Screen Grab Software
 

What is out there that you have used and can recommend?

I am specifically looking for some software that I can use for tutorials. I would show the worker bees how you go through MechBunny/ElevatedX as an example to do the daily input of movies. Check this, uncheck this, copy and paste descriptions, blah blah blah.

While there are obviously other uses for this, I used that as an example. It would make things much easier when you have to show someone the repetitive steps involved in mundane tasks like described above.

Fire away ladies.

:helpme

http://camstudio.org/ is free

http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html is the best

I have done this many time. I use a mac. I use screenflow. You can talk as you do it, and have our instructions added to the video.

i use (debut video capture software) and works very good

snagit now does videos by techsmith

if you want just screen grabs http://www.frame-shots.com

Frame Shot is best

That is an excellent program. I have been using it for years. :thumbsup

However, I am looking to basically do step-by-step walk through via video tutorial for worker bees.

Camtasia

Camtasia for sure. It is excellent. We used it to produce this video http://2much.net/overview.php

snagit probably i would recommend, ive bought both jing pro, snagit and camtasia, jing is/was fine, but if you want longer videos than 5minutes snagit is the way to go.

camtasia has a whole lot of stuff odds are you wont need.

compare the features, i have them all, and snagit is the one i use to make all the tutorial videos.

In a nutshell, I want to have all of the windows open on the desktop I need, and record the steps to do the work. For example, how to add in a video to the ElevatedX CMS, or how to do this on via Wordpress and alike.

I have some bids out there for data entry so that I can literally have a "team" of people doing this work on the volume I need. However, most bidding are not from the adult industry. With this work, it is not that it really matters. You are basically doing cut and paste, then hitting save, and repeating the process.

But you have to do some level of walk through for the different things, pulling shit from this site, and this spreadsheet, what goes where, what to make sure is checked, and all that bullshit.

I can accomplish this easily enough if I just record the steps to complete the task. I am not looking to do enterprise grade tutorials for software or something. I just need to more a less do a simple couple of minute recording of my movements on a screen to make a video walk through.

snagit then, but you can also try camtasia, both come with 30 day full functional trials. you may also want to look into teamviewer if you plan on offering live training.

best to trial them both, since one is 49.99 and other is 299.99, no sense spending 299 if you only need the cheaper one.

:thumbsup

Nope. I am not looking to add live training for my immediate needs, but it does bring up an idea for my network guys. They may be able to use something like that for new minions.

I simply needed something where I could make a few videos for tasks that needed to get done. Either for people to bid on the project, as they could see what was involved. Or once I hired a "team" of outsourced apes for this data entry stuff, they could follow along easily enough.

Thanks top notch.

:thumbsup

You could easily sell tutorials like that.

People like Mutt will buy it.

We used Snagit for a big process management project and I thought it was great. Highly recommend.

Love Snagit for docs.

This was a solid, top notch, stand up, A++ recommendation.

Easy to use, installed quickly, and banged out what I needed within 15 minutes. It makes it much easier to get solid bids on work from the outsourced minions when you can show them, literally, step by step what they would be doing. Plus it saves literally hours of grief typing that bullshit out.

:thumbsup

theirs also screenr, which a lot of developers seem to use

http://www.screenr.com

i use it from time to time if im not on my desktop which has the snagit software. but its limited also i think to 5 mins.

also if you havent looked into it, theirs addons for snagit, so you can send to youtube, twitter, screencast.com, etc.
