For a limited time, the screen-casting software Camtasia Studio can be downloaded for free. It only works on Windows, but it's easy to use and creates video formats suitable to upload to YouTube.
With Camtasia Studio, you can convert presentation to videos, record online tutorials and convert them to videos for uploading to video sites like YouTube.
It has a high-resolution screen capture so you will be able to record all sessions with great resolution. Now, it is available for free.
The full retail version of Camtasia costs $300, so get it free now by clicking the links below:
First download the trial version from Camtasia Studio 3 here. When you run this version, it will ask for a registration key, so request a registration key for Techsmith here to convert that demo into a fully licensed version.
They just have this software available for Windows, but soon they will make it available for Mac as well. According to Amit Agarwal, Labnol.org, if you want to upgrade to a Pro version Camtasia 5, you can do so at half the price.
I have used Screencast-o-matic's online software to create screencast videos, but Camtasia seems to be a better version and offers a number of options you may like. I tested it and it works fine. It's very easy to use, and no programming skills are needed to do this.
