Have you ever wanted to make a training video on how to use some sort of software on your computer but did not have the necessary video capture software that is required to take video of your computer desktop? Of course you can use an actual video camera mounted on a tripod and then point it at your computer monitor. But why do that when you can use TechSmith’s Camtasia Screen Recorder for a mere $299 (they are the ones that make the incredibly awesome Snagit too).

But then again why do that!? Instead, download the free and perfectly legal software called CamStudio! It is awesome. You can take video screenshots of your whole screen or just a certain part. You set the parameters! Yep, and you heard right…it’s free!

By the way, if you have Microsoft Office, they have an incredible note program in the suite called MS OneNote. That has a feature in it that does the same thing as Snagit! So you don’t have to pay an extra $49 for Snagit either! Very nice. Check it out below.
