That's excellent Phil, thanks. Got some tutors at work looking for something like this. They were wanting to use Smartboard capture software which I was a bit dubious of as it is designed to go with SmartBoards (Interactive whiteboards).

The fact that this is free fits their criteria perfectly.

Ha! I'm still an Adobe Captivate fan on the PC but this is cool...I'm hoping maybe they bring out a free and then maybe a paid version that allows you to remove branding?

Hi is this what you want ? http://www.shinywhitebox.com/index.html ( ishow)

Thanks, but no...this is a very old and long thread. In the end I went with Snapz Pro, but these days you should also keep an eye on Skitch....

Hi all,

Just online in a presentation with Adobe about Captivate 3 (a PC only product) that is superb. I asked if there would ever be a Mac version and the presenter said it would happen if the demand was there. She suggested submitting the request to this page...

I mentioned I had, so she said I should encourage others to submit also....so even if you're not interested, it would be great if you submitted a request for a Mac version of Adobe Captivate

Thanks, Phil

Hi there,

Thought I would update this thread with a couple of apps that have caught my eye recently.....

This one picks up mouse movements and clicks and has a neat effect for showing where you have clicked

Looks quite upmarket and worked well in a test. Has very powerful editing...very powerful.

Cheers,

Phil

I know this thread is pretty old but I wanted to add my two cents worth.

iShowU (https://www.shinywhitebox.com/home/home.html) has done me proud a number of times and I just registered it today. For $30(NZ) it's great value for money and best of all it's developed by a New Zealander. Buy Kiwi made and blah blah blah.

It captures video and audio either from system, microphone, or both. It has an interesting feature called Follow Mouse which will move the capture according to where you move the mouse but this can be a blessing as well as a curse. The capture area is easily set.

It can save in a number of formats but it doesn't seem like it will save to Flash so some conversion looks like it will need to be done, although it does save to YouTube formatted MP4.

All in all a worthy application.
