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.
