I am researching a product purchase for creating software tutorials. I am looking at both camtasia and robodemo. Anyone in the actionscript.org community using either of these tools? What's great / what sucks about them?

Have you had any problems with either of them?

Are there other products in the same league as them?

TIA!

Hi Philip
I don't think anyone here use this but one of the most cool I've see was in Lynda's and Mark's

Philip Toews - did you try either camtasia or robodemo? i'm also looking to implement flash based tutorials for a site and looking for user input - anyone else try either of these?

thanks!

I cannot answer your question, but I can confuse you more...

There is another one called FlashCast from MDM you might want to check it out if you haven't already...

http://www.multidmedia.com/software/flashcast/

and maybe you can let us know for some more information???

well i tried out FlashCast and i wasn't overwhelmed. it's got great potential but seems to have some bugs to work out. i got some very helpful error messages like -memory error XE058394 current buffer can't push' or something like that. needs some more error trapping.
i like how it can just spit out a swf but it's driving me nuts trying to sync the mouse movement w/ the video - i'm going to attempt to write a small prog to do this and save myself the $150 or whatever

That sounds nice... Looking forward to hear some more on this matter from you...

k i got a bit sidetracked

but i made a my own tutorials! what i did was first create a tutorial recorder and then a tutorial player. here it is: add email account tutorial what do you think (or should i add this to site check?)

could you guys test it out in your different browsers/OS's please? (hopefully a mac user

)

tested - it works fine on PC IE6, NN4.7

- thanks!

works on pc w/opera7.10

what did you make that with? flash?

monkeybrainz · 07-18-2003, 12:54 PM

hi tg thanks for the reply

yep that was done in flash. i figure the extra 5 minutes it takes me to make a tutorial is still better than spending $350(!) for some of those progs.

ok so far we have:
PC - IE6: ok
PC - NN4.7: ok
PC - Opera 7.1: ok

c'mon mac guys n gals help me out here!

thanks
