What software can I use to create a video of following type?

Question

Here is a video on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSx873lOgIc&feature=player_embedded#at=62

Someone among my bosses wants to create some thing similar to the video on above link and has asked me what software can they use to do the same.The purpose is to create educational content only.Which can have the demonstrations (animations ) and audio also running in backend. I am not clear as what software can be used for this on Linux or Windows. I have users which use Windows and Linux both. I have used video editing on Mac using Final Cut Pro but the video on the above link is not some thing which can be achieved with FCP.(Or may be I am not aware)

I am looking solution for

1) Linux users 2) Windows users

In case of Linux it is Ubuntu for some users and Fedora for some others. I am a Linux guy so I am specifically posting this question in terms of Ubuntu but I also need suggestions for Windows type of users.I have no clue of such video animations at all.

Answer 1

It looks to me like it is a screen and audio capture (probably using a stylus like input judging by the ease with which he is writing)

Cam Studio can do this. Simply set it to record the screen and microphone and then use Final cut pro to edit the results to just show the part of the screen that you want to show.
As long as the final output video can be viewed on both formats you should be ok. I'm trusting that with your experience of both platforms and FCP you will know what type your users need you to output.

Answer 2

From the FAQ on the Khan Academy website:

What equipment do you use to make your videos?

I use Camtasia Recorder ($200) + SmoothDraw3(Free) + a Wacom Bamboo Tablet ($80) on a PC. I used to use ScreenVideoRecorder($20) and Microsoft Paint (Free).
