Software to make a tutorial video recording in windows???
Discussion
Hi,
Can anyone recommend any free software that will record what I do on the desktop. I am making a basic walk through of how our CMS operates so basically want it to show me move the cursor, click, load, etc through the pages.
I've seen people use similar software for making Photoshop tutorials on facebook.
Thanx

The best solution is software called Camtasia, made be TechSmith (fully functional 30 day free trial available): http://www.techsmith.com/download/camtasiatrial.as...
Or if you want free for ever (with less functionality), try Camstudio: http://camstudio.org/
