Screen Recording

Ive seen a lot of videos on you tube and similar that is a recording of someone elses screen. The one function that I like but cannot seem to find in any software is the ability to zoom in and out.

On some videos ive seen, there is a green box, then the video zooms to that box. What software is this or is it edited after the capture is taken??

ZoomIt You could try this?? I personally have never used it but I think it should do what you want if used in conjunction with some screen recording software.

Camstudio is ok and is open source..... CamStudio - Free Screen Recording Software

or Camtasia if you fancy shelling out money TechSmith | Camtasia Screen Recorder Software, Home

Have a try at Wink - Wink - [Homepage]

It might be able to do what you want.

Camtasia is good. I used it when I created how to . . tutorials. About £100 but if you are going to do quite a bit then well worth it I reckon.

If you have Microsoft Expression Studio 4 (there are ways to get this free in schools), the Encoder Screen Capture program will do this.

Fraps for paid - FRAPS show fps, record video game movies, screen capture software

Screen toaster free - ScreenToaster - Online screen recorder. Capture screencasts instantly.

some more suggestions here --> Free Screen Video Recorders and Screen Capture Utilities (thefreecountry.com)

I used Adobe Captivate. Brilliant!

I tryed the trial Camtasia. It has what you need: zoom in and zoom out. Also it has a lot of useful functions like recording video from your screen, adding tutorials, arrows with notes, and many other options. However its rather expensive and I should say it needs much resourses. I have 1 Gb ram on my pc and sometimes CamtasiaStudio got a little bit slow. Anyway I reccomend you to try it :)
