Making tutorial videos for youtube

Jul 7, 2013 at 11:40am
Hey!

I want to make a short online video tutorial for a simple software program that I have developed. I have seen many video tutorials on youtube but I do not understand how they capture the PC screen mouse movements etc.

Do they simply have any external camera that is focused on the PC screen or does there exist any software that can capture the screen shots?

In either case can anybody suggest the camera specifications so that a decent quality tutorial can be made?

Alot of people use camtasia. Not sure if there's a free version or trial though.

Well thanks for stealing my idea (Didn't get to upload them yet).

Anyway I use camstudio. Contrary to popular belief it actually works quite well once you set the settings correctly.

I'm using pin guy which is pretty much just like Mint. It's just a customized Ubuntu 12.04 that uses a gnome 3 desktop interface.
