Hi Christy,
If you just need to do some screen captures then one of these programs in
this review might do what you need.

HI Gman,
Thanks. I went ahead and downloaded the free 30 day trial. The program is
not cheap. But she said there were similar ones for free (guess I need to
look for one). It worked pretty well for one of the tutorials I will try,
actually showing steps with sibelius on the screen. I probably will use
narration but may want to record it not at the time I am doing the steps.
I tried the video and audio together too that showed me on one side and the
screen on the other. It seems to save as their file type or avi though. I
will have to research file type options and make sure all can view ok.
I also tried importing a powerpoint I had done and that worked well. I may
get away with two networks at work for storing this. But not sure yet what
I will use. The program is like 300.00 bucks so if I can get this done in
30 days lol before the freebie runs out.
p.s. the quality of the vid did not seem that great but it is a webcam type
vid.
Christy
