Video Tutorials

[Plastic Nev]

Sometimes when trying to explain how to use various aspects of the control of a computer or how to get the best out of an application, or even hardware, a video can sometimes get the point over a lot better than miles of script descriptions.

For that purpose I found a useful video screen capture free program.

It is called "Freez Screen Video Capture"

and can be downloaded from here-

 

Free iPod Video Converter, 3GP Video Converter, DVD Ripper, Video Capture, Flv Converter.

 

There are other free software's available on that site but the one we want is at present second down on the left.

It is simple to use and as the advert said "It does exactly what it says on the tin"

You may need a microphone connected if wanting to give a commentary of what you are doing, but in order to prevent howl round do turn down or mute your own speakers.

 

For an example of how it can be used, I was asked to explain how to use the now well known USB flash or pen drive, for someone completely new to computing and running Windows 7. here is the video I created to do just that.-

Please forgive the Lancashire accent, the odd glitches, short silences, (while I thought up what to say next LOL)

And perhaps lack of planning, as I did this with no script and straight off the top of my head. While also trying to keep things as simple as possible.

Once you have created your video, it can then be uploaded to one of the many video hosting sites available, I used Vimeo, but Youtube or others will be just as good.

Hope someone else can also find uses for this,

Nev.
