Easy and Inexpensive Screencasting

Screencasting can help you clearly explain concepts to your clients as well as give you instant credibility. But, screencasting programs can be expensive and complex. However, all of us do not always need to create professional quality videos. Sometimes we just need to quickly and clearly convey some information and video is the best way to do so.

Rich will present a guide to inexpensive tools for screencasting which make the process pretty easy and will enable you to create clear instructive videos in little time and at low cost.

Some topics he'll cover are:

Why Video? What hardware is needed? Capturing video and capturing images Sharing with Jing and sharing with Snagit When is Jing better? When is Snagit better? Going beyond the simple tools
