Well, yesterday I bit the bullet and downloaded Camtasia. 

What's that, Camtasia is a screen capture and video integration platform.  I put together a Pinterest introduction and posted it to training.  If you want a quick intro to Pinterest give it a look.  If you need more than the video provides, I would check out the recent training that BIS put together.  She is amazing and has expanded on most of the points that I make in the video.

This Camtasia program is a must have if you are interested in putting videos and tutorials out on the web, there is a direct feed to your You Tube account in you are interested in posting your stuff up to there.  They have a private network that you can use if you desire.  You can then embed your video into your site from the You Tube video or, if you wish, you can create a special file for uploading directly into  your website.

Camtasia is limited to 15 minute videos.  There is a free 30 day trial for those that don't have the $300 purchase price.  This is a fully functional trial that allows you to kick the tires and give it a try to decide if it is for you.

Jing is another program from the same company that appears to be a slimmed down version.  The ante is much more affordable.

If you need to stick with free...Cam Studio is an option but I found it to be significantly limited.

Next up.  Editing a video of some runaway drills that we did a couple of weeks ago with one of the new SAR recruits, A nice little Yellow Lab.  He's gonna be a winner.
