I use Camtasia for doing exactly that. I recommend it strongly. Encourage your employer to spring the money for a license.
Have you done this kind of video before? I had a bit of an adjustment curve in my situation because there was the sense that videos were "real time," such that a 30-minute presentation took about 30 minutes to make. There was also the perception that a concise 10-minute how-to video couldn't be as good as a live recording of a GoTo Training session. If your employer is hesitating at spending three hundred bucks for a tool, then you might have these other battles ahead of you. Good luck!
