We have a 30 minute presentation that just won't render at all. I'm still playing with the application, tweaking some settings and so on. Mary – it’s purely rendering the output that fails.

It's the software they had when I started. I'm very happy with it. It allows you to create flash files, makes it easy to mix powerpoint style slides with full motion recording, but most importantly for us, it has a text export option to help with translation. I see they've just a released a new version with lots of lovely options. I use Demobuilder at work. It’s the software they had when I started. I’m very happy with it.

I have no trouble getting Flash output (which is fabulously compact coming from Wink), so I'm charging all steam ahead on implementing it in my shop. What's the nature of the trouble, if I may ask?

Honestly, it's the best thing out there. Captivate works better for interactive type scenarios, but it's terrible for editing full motion recording. If you can't afford Camtasia Studio, there is an alternative called Blueberry Flashback Express Recorder, but really Camtasia is the best option. For quick little videos where you don't care about the quality, use Jing. Jing is free and anyone can learn it in 2 minutes.
