Ask YC: Recommendations on how to make demo video (60 sec tour) for our starup?
recommended by 1 user | 2008 | 12 points by shafqat | marketing | original thread |

Are there any (free) products on the web that help make demo videos? We want to make a 60 second tour for our startup, and were wondering if people had any good recomendations. Just need to show the screen and capture mouse movements/changes with some voiceover or text.

Any ideas?

I went round this loop a while ago and Camtasia really wins out
