I want to create a screen captured audio (microphone) - video presentation of my software. So i'm looking for best screencasting softwares out there which should allow me to edit recorded audio and video as well as adjust audio.. fast-forward specific portion of video.. zoom in and out specific portions in real-time without loosing quality as well as few cool effects on software window. Please check following 3 videos :

From those videos, i'm looking for following features :

  • I would like to have text typing effect.
  • The browser window is tilted a little when typing to give really cool 3d like effect.
  • Zooming of specific potions really look cool in real-time without loosing any graphic quality.

Please suggest me softwares and tools i can use to create similar video presentation. It doesn't matter even if the software and tools are commercial/paid products.

It's not just one software, but using several to get the effect you want. Look into--

  • good video editing software (camtasia, kdenlive on linux)
  • prezi
  • blender or 3d animation software
  • inkscape or gimp

*these are mostly Free & open source software (FOSS) as I use them myself.

Thank you very much for your reply.. I did check all of those... but it seems like a way too much work in there if i choose to go that way. .. do you know by any chance if adobe captivate could help me to product that kinda quality software simulation??? – Aditya Hajare Jul 5 '11 at 4:36
blender indeed comes with a steep learning curve. i'm only skimming the surface with it. i run linux on my pc--i don't know if adobe captivate can handle such projects. – Jim Syyap Jul 5 '11 at 7:13
'aight... thanks again for your reply!! ;) – Aditya Hajare Jul 6 '11 at 5:13

Camtasia Studio is the standard Windows Screencast software. It should handle all these requests.

no! it can't produce that kind of quality output... please watch those 3 videos i have posted in my question and understand what kind of quality i'm expecting to squeeze from any of those softwares out there.. Adobe captivate 5 have inbuilt animations and many effect filters... also it is very easy to learn too.. that is why i'm concentrating on that rite now... but yes ofcourse it cannot product that kind of quality output i am expecting!! – Aditya Hajare Jul 6 '11 at 5:14

They may have set the dpi really high, and that could be why they can zoom it so freely.
