ScreenCam Movies
ScreenCam movies are big (around 5MB minimum), so unfortunately I can't show any here on the Web. However you can find examples of my movies on the majority of PC Plus SuperCDs (look for the 'Hands On' section, then 'Publish and Be...' or 'Web Workshop'). My Paint Shop Pro 5.0 tutorial is on the issue 146 (Dec 98) SuperCD.

What do I know?
|
Lotus ScreenCam is a desktop recorder utility for Windows.
With the ScreenCam recorder program running, you operate the PC in the
normal way, optionally talking into a microphone at the same time. The
result is a movie file which plays back exactly what occurred on screen,
with your commentary soundtrack also played through the PC's speakers. It's
a brilliant teaching/demonstration medium, although making ScreenCam movies
isn't quite as easy as it looks!
PC
Plus was the first magazine to put ScreenCam movies on its cover-mounted
CD-ROM, and I was one of the first people to make them. Mine have been
mainly linked to my Web Workshop tutorial series, but I've also done them to
augment product reviews (demonstrating the features of new software
releases), plus an extensive set for the Internet Explorer 4.0 Companion
CD-ROM, and a ScreenCam-only tutorial covering Paint Shop Pro 5.0.
