Hello,
I can second the Jing recommendation for cheap and easy, though (as Teena
said), you do have to edit it elsewhere and there's a time limit. I think you
are expected to use the pro version for commercial use.
I've never used Camtasia, but I really like Captivate. It makes it extremely
easy to edit and adjust timing and onscreen elements. For producing something
quickly, it's my go-to software.
Though I use a Mac, I use the Windows version of Captivate, since it comes with
the Tech Comm Suite, and so far you can't get the Mac version with that suite.
Have fun!
