How do you make videos of your computer screen, instead of screen shots?

you can use screen capture programs.. and it will record what you are doing on your computer.. CamStudio is open source so its free to download and it will do what you want it to

http://funadvice.com/r/3jtchll6r1 or camstudioDOTorg

Is that what most people use? I don’t know what that is… :/

the most well liked free screen recording programme is camstudio or the 1 i used to like was debut video capture but they lack editing oprtions. never used the 1 ryan said so i cant make any comment

but youll always lack great editing options from free screen recording software: http://www.funadvice.com/video/uber_crap_video_show_bird_easy_shes_lot_suffer_crapness_lol

i used camtasia for these.

Is camtasia free?

no, aboud £230 which is $360

ok ive had a look and it looks like hypercam can zoom in on areas of the screen but it looks like an instant zoom… i prefer a few seconds for it to zoom so you can actually see where im going with it.

i might be wrong, ryan might know.

Cam studio is an alright capture program, and as a plus it is Open Source and Free ( as in beer and as freedom) camstudio. org/
