  • Screencasting – video screen capturing

    So I’ve been on the lookout for a good (and cheap) method of capturing video of my computer screen for displaying websites offline etc. After doing some research and trying out a few pieces of software, I found CamStudio to be sufficient for my needs. It creates .avi files that can easily be imported into flash or .swf files. The interface is a bit clunky but at the same time pretty simple. Best part is that it’s free. It’s pc only but if I were on my mac, I’d probably download the free trial of SnapzProX.

    I tried Wink but it didn’t work for my needs. It takes a series of stills but the outcome is too slow to make a smooth movie. I hope this helps.

  • Sketches and screencap

    I’ve been trying to do some more sketches since I’ve gotten my tablet pc back. I wanted to do a loose, color intensive piece with no worrying about proportion and line quality.

    In other news, I’ve been looking around for some sort of screen capture software that I can use to capture video to display website navigation examples. I’ve downloaded and tried “Wink” for windows, but am not really happy with the results. It’s a bit on the choppy side and I believe it’s meant for more narration over isolated screen caps.
