Tutorial Maker
-
I know someone was asking about how to make tutorials, well I found two great, free or partially free tutorial makers: Wink http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ and Screenbook http://www.screenbooks.net/ Have used screen book and found it to be really good for doing tutorials with lots of writing, but I just found wink today and it seems to have support for doing moving cursor (and a form of video capture) and interactivity like pressing button to move to the next page, (not just a video) And it lets you create your own control bars and pop up text boxes and stuff. Has anyone else used wink? or have you used some other form of tutorial software?

What about Camstacia...?!
Not for free, but very powerful...

wow, it looks pretty good (packed with features!)
, I've Tried CamStudio before which has rudimentary support for making tutorials, but I'm really enjoying wink atm, it has really small file sizes, because I think it uses flash motion tween on the mouse when it moves, instead of video, and it takes a screen shot whenever you click or something happens.

Coen used to use Wink for [url=http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/search.php?keywords=tutorial&terms=all&author=coen+naninck&fid[]=18&sc=1&sf=firstpost&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=-1&t=0&submit=Search]his video tutorials[/url].
Then I used Camstudio as well as Camtasia later; both are good apps (Camtasia is certainly quite powerful).
Edit: embedding the URL's for the search results seem to be imposible because the URL's containing the [ and ] characters (lso used by the bbCodes). So try to copy/paste the url from here:

Jim has used Wink in a tutorial on his blog about using ruby.
The SketchUp training videos used to be (and probably still are made?) using Camtasia. Its a great software, but not free. I've been using their free version called Jing. I like it a lot, but it doesnt have too much post processing I don't think. But it is free and it makes small videos.
