> Free Camtasia Studio 3?---Wink?

Hi Brian, those are both great tools - I actually use Camtasia Studio 5 over here.

But there is a lot more that goes into a video tutorial than just a recording tool, there is a lot of planning and practicing that needs to be done to get a good result with speaking included.

Without a lot of work, it is hard to get a good recording of your voice without a lot of "ums", pauses and other awkward things.

Although Camtasia studio and Wink are great programs, they unfortunately don't do anything to stop me from saying "um" from when I'm talking!

This is much less of an issue when not doing any voice recording on the tutorial.

But a full blown high quality tutorial takes a lot of effort to produce, it is not something that you just hit a button and record and you're done, unless you are an exceptionally skilled and practiced presenter.
