If you’ve gained the reputation of a guru and your friends are constantly asking your advice on how to use their PCs, a screen shot could be just the thing to answer their queries. Conversely, if your latest software purchase refuses to behave itself, and you’re fed up of telling support staff over and over again what’s gone wrong, you can send them the visual proof that their software is faulty. Sometimes a still image of the screen isn't enough and what you really want is a movie showing on-screen action. Compared to making still screen shots, this may sound expensive and complicated but it needn’t be. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Loopster.com - Free Online Video Editor Tapes: Mac OSX screencasting tool. A while ago I wrote a post covering all the screencasting tools I could think of from expensive-and-complex at one end of the continuum to free-and-simple at the other. Since writing that post, I have discovered another screencasting tool that I am quite enamoured of. Tapes is the simplest and fastest way to make a screencast I’ve ever seen. It’s quick. Click on the Tapes menu bar item, choose “Record New Tape” and bang! It’s not the tool I’d use to make a full-featured screencast. Tapes has a one-time purchase price of $12:99, which also gives you 60 minutes of recording each month (ongoing) but if you buy it from this promo code, you’ll get an extra 15 minutes per month. If you are looking for a free alternative, QuickCast is similar but not so amazing.
