I would recommend the screencast app for Chromebook, simply because it is free and I could get quick results. (I don't know whether it is open source.)
In this context, of training videos that will need to be changed soon, it makes a lot of sense to me to work with this sort of lightweight system, and develop an informal, conversational style - very much "live". Of course you need to do some rehearsal and scripting, but it is possible to get decent results after a few hours. (I do have lecturing experience: I probably like the approach for that reason.)
