Subject:video screen capture with dynamic text From:Denise_Cusano -at- capgroup -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 19 Jan 2001 10:02:14 -0800
Hi whirlers!
I'm looking for an application that will allow me to capture input into a
screen (mouse movements, menu pull-down, etc.) and add dynamic text on top
of it. The text would provide the instructions, and the video clip of the
screen would show you how to do it. The text would have to change with the
video clip to provide the next step of instructions
I see a few applications out there (that I found in the Techwhirler
archives) that allow me to add audio on top of the video screen capture
(like Camtasia), but none that allow me to create text boxes that change
with the video.
I have Robohtml, which allows video capture, and I have Dreamweaver with
Coursebuilder. In Dreamweaver it looks like I can create a timeline with
.gifs or .jpegs, but not with .avis
Have any of you found an efficient way to do this? What about using Flash
or some other Macromedia application?
Thanks for the advice!
Denise
