I've become a Youtube junkie, but in a good way. I've been going to Youtube for tutorial videos on everything from using my new sewing machine to learning tricks in Adobe Illustrator CS3.
So, watching these Youtube videos I got to thinking I'd like to create some of my own tutorials when I'm in Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, Flash and so on. To do this you need what's called a desktop recorder. There are a ton out there, which half of them suck.
I found one through YouTube called Screencast, but now it's called Screenflick by a company called http://www.araelium.com/.
I downloaded the demo version to test it. So far so good. It's extremely easy to use and the coolest part is that you can compress your files multiple ways and times.
Here's my first desktop recording, courtesy of Youtube. Note this is using the demo version of Screenflick and that is why there is an obtrusive watermark in the middle of the screen.
