Best set up for screencast with voiceover

[phatmanace]

Hi folks,

I've spent a few hours today looking for ways to screencast a tutorial, so me operating some apps on my computer with a voiceover. The sort of the thing you would see if you looked for a fusion 360 tutorial on youtube; its not 360, but you get the general idea.

I spent a few hours playing and was quite surprised how hard it was - I found tools to record video, tools to record voiceovers. and then tools to combine them into one output video, but I haven't gotten the end to end experience to work as yet. So far I've looked at OBS, Shotcut and Da Vinci resolve. As I google, I seem to find lots of slightly sketchy (spyware) looking tools, so I'm turning to PH for guidance :-).

In my mind, given the number of people uploading content to youtube, I would have thought this would be a solved problem many times over, even at small budgets.

Is there any medium budget (say less than £100) tooling that would provide a reasonably seamless experience, All I really need to do is record some clips, likely a few as I don't think I'll be able to do it all in one sitting, and then stitch them together and add some narration - again probably after the fact.

I have Mac, PC and and Linux, so I don't really mind which one has the easiest tooling

I downloaded camtasia (a trial) and it seems to do everything I need. Its a tad on the pricey side, but cheaper than the adobe stuff and easier to use and get the hang of than any of the free things that I've found.
