In Linux you can also try Kdenlive http://kdenlive.sourceforge.net/.

I haven't actually used Kino, but if you have access to a Linux
machine (or maybe have it on your Mac?), you might check it out:

I've used Camtasia, it has a few quirks, but is ok. Although not
available for Mac :-(

 I have had a lot of success with QuickTime Pro. It doesn't do
 transitions (fade-in, fade-out, etc.), but it does a great job of
 letting you cut out the stuff before, after, and in between your
 video. Once you create your movies you can add sound. When you are
 done you can save/export your movie file to a whole bunch o' formats.

Nate,

Check on your campus.  I know here at Princeton, they have something
called the New Media Center.  Every piece of slick hardware/software
mac and pc is there.  I would almost be shocked if Wisconsin didn't have
a similar place.

Nathan,

I've played with a bunch of tools on the Mac. I use iShowU to make my 
screencasts, edit them in Quicktime and then will use VisualHub to translate 
from one format to another. That is if iShowU or Quicktime won't give me the 
format I want to end up with. I like iShowU because you can control lots of 
settings and there are some standard presets to help beginners.

If I was pickier I'd probably want something more high-end where I could lay a 
video and audio track seperately, but right now this works.

I didn't follow this thread well but in case they haven't been
mentioned here are some bookmarks I had for screencast and osx:

http://soylentfoo.jnewland.com/articles/2007/01/31/how-to-make-a-screencast-on-mac-os-x

Tips:

Linux related:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts

The Mac specific ones seem to prefer the Snapz Pro X. I'm not sure
what the price difference between it and iShowU is. You could probably
do the VNC and VM methods regardless of OS.
