The tool is an open source tool and thus, completely free. It is owned by Macromedia but has changed hands a number of times. The only format that it can create is SWF (Streaming Flash Videos) and often times SWF files are not supported in many video upload platforms. There are a number of known issues.

Dear Steph
Flash and java have big time security issues, because many websites have moved on to HTML5 for videos. I think youtube uses it now. Tried to stream a move from Amazon. It stopped using MS Silver light and will only allow flash to play in Firefox. Hard to keep up, I think Netflix is now using HTML5. I have disabled flash and java in Chrome, I set it on click to play because many websites still use flash. What a mess hard to keep up!

Hi William!
That does sound difficult to keep up with. I am not sure what YouTube uses for videos. It might be HTML 5. I have had a hard time streaming from Amazon as well. Thank you for offering more insight into the world of videos. :)

Hi Steph, great to connect with you as always. I totally agree Adobe is big $$$ and would take as long if not longer to learn as it would to get a biz going here on WA. We are smart people here, surely we should be able to grab something we can afford for now.
Best to you Steph, always...
William :)

Hi Robert!
I think I may have confused many folks. There are more pages to this training than the first page listing Adobe Captivate. I added a paragraph on top to make it more clear that there are other affordable and often FREE chooses out there as you navigate through the training. :)

There are other products that are listed are some of my other pages of this training. I agree that Adobe is far too techy.

Wow. That was a terrific tutorial. I only knew about Camtasia and Snagit yet thought there may be more. I am sure you will get out of your comfort zone and realise it is what you say that is important. I am sure you will have something important to say!
Many thanks Steph.
Many thanks Steph.
