If you’ve ever seen any training, or “how to”, videos of the “screen capture” type (where you appear to be watching someone else’s computer screen) the chances are that it was recorded on Camtasia software, produced by TechSmith - the current version retails at $299. However, for a while now, an earlier version of Camtasia has been made available on their website - for nothing.
A question from Linda, one of my subscribers, has led me to take another look at the Camtasia website today.
Unfortunately, it looks as though they’ve pulled the plug on the free offer - it seems the free download was too popular. I suppose I’m at least partly responsible for that by promoting it! So if you managed to get the free download in time - well done.
If you didn’t, I’m afraid that you can only get a 30 day free trial of Camtasia now.
Making a Camtasia video can be an easy way of producing your own product or an added value bonus for your main product. But you may be put off by Camtasia’s price tag.
If you’re only interested in a free product that does the job, you might want to take a look at:
Look for the red “Download Links” section about half-way down the page.
I can’t say that I’ve used this program extensively, but on a trial run it seemed to have a similar feel and features to the old, free, version of Camtasia. Once you’ve opened up Camstudio, you can access the tutorial by clicking on the help button.
I hope this helps.

Keep up the good work on behalf of us lot.
Perhaps we might return the favour one day.
In the meantime
Thanks once again and may God bless you.

Thanks for the compliment, Cyril.
The whole aim of RbD is to help others - probably a different philosophy from that of the gurus.
I’m glad that you like my approach and I’ll do my best to keep up the good work!

Unfortunately, I’s still in the Pampers state of putting my business up, so jumping to videos is quite too much for me just now.
Anyway, I really appreciate what you are doing offering all that information.

Thanks for the comment.
Just like a baby, if you keep nurturing your business and don’t ignore it, then it will have grown before you know it and will be demanding videos!
