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, Suite75 On 3/28/07, Darren Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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.)
