Hello WA Family:

I have created this training which offers a comparison of SEVERAL screen casting software options. Each page of this training has a different screen casting software listing pros, cons, prices and websites for each one. I believe in being as thrifty as possible, so many of them are free as you will see when you navigate through each page.

The first one I listed, Adobe Captivate, is the most expensive and complex to use, but as you move through this training you will see varying price options for each of the different software available for screen casting as well as complexity and ease of use. Remember also what works for one person will not work for another, so I tried to give a complete comparison of many of the most popular options. By no means, is this a complete list and if you have other ideas to contribute please do so.

ADOBE CAPTIVATE

Like most of the Adobe software out there, this is a tool for the ultimate professional. It is extremely costly and from what I have been able to see the interface and work flow is frustrating and non-intuitive for the beginner like myself and like many of you I imagine. However, if you are willing to fork over the huge amount of dough and spend a significant amount of time learning how to use it, you will most likely end up with very slick and highly professional looking screen casts, but you have to know what you are doing.

You will have the ability to transform PowerPoint presentations into awesome looking tutorials using voice, interactions and quizzes. This software would be recommended for someone whose only job function is to create screen casts and nothing else, but for the typical internet marketer, forget it. There is a very limited free trial available if you have an Adobe ID.
