Hi Darren,

We use Camtasia Studio 4 for our tutorial movies. It does everything you're
looking for, and has swf export functionality. It isn't open sourche, but
you can try the 30 day trail.

Hope this helps.

Gert-Jan,

I hope this isn't off-topic. I want to make a video to demonstrate how
to use a web site. Flash flv is the obvious choice as I want it to be on
the web and work on all of windows/mac/linux.

I see these steps:
  1. Record a browser session. (i.e. record output of a window, not of
the whole desktop? Or simpler to make the browser full-screen?)
  2. Convert that to flv.
  3. Add a voice-over (merge from mp3 file?)
  4. Add explanation text on top of the movie. (Wrap the flv in a swf,
and use actionscript to show/hide a text window at certain points of
time? A bit labour-intensive, but at least I know how to do this. I
probably want to host on YouTube though, so I'd then need to convert
back from swf to flv??)

I am wondering if I can do the whole process using open source tools?
(I'm using linux, but could use windows if necessary.) If not, what do I
need? I would welcome suggestions for software, as well as web
sites/books/blogs that would give useful advice.

(Initially this is to promote an open source project - MLSN,see my sig
file - but I am sure some of my clients could use something similar, so
I want it to look professional.)

Darren
