Okay, I found another toy I though people might like.
It's called
Video Spin by
Pinnacle.
It's kind of like Windows Movie Maker apart from three fundamental differences:
a) It has a lot more features.
b) It's much easier to use.
c) It's a lot more stable!!!
You can has transition effects, you can add texts, subtitles, remove audio & add in your own. You have a good selection of what sort of file you want to create (eg: WMV, MPEG, AVI, DVD-NTSC, DVD-PAL, etc.).
They have a lot of tutorials on their site but I didn't need to use them. You see it all in front of you so all you have to do is click icons & drag things around.
And most importantly - it's FREE! They give you some codecs for free for a 14 day trial for which they'll ask you to pay. If you say no you lose the codecs but the programme still works perfectly. I never used the codecs anyway so who cares?
Enjoy fellas. It's a keeper for sure! I like it.
PS: Footz, I think you'll like this one a lot better than Camtasia.
