I've used Camtasia over a couple of years in producing training videos.
I wasn't able to find anything else that does what Camtasia does - I'd
be interested in anything that does match up to it.
You can download the manual from:
http://www.techsmith.com/learn/camtasia/documentation.asp and there are
tutorials at:
http://www.techsmith.com/learn/camtasia/default.asp
It's worth while running through them all before you start.
There are many different ways to use it - but I use the output into
Vegas (though you should be able to use most video editors).
Alternatively, you can use Camtasia Producer.
Once you've set up your preferences, you can put it into the System
Tray, then Start using the F9 key, Pause using the F9 key, and stop/save
using the F10 key. You can set up the save filenames to consecutively
auto-number - which helps in editing.
