best software for tutorials?

[cunzie]

Hi guys can someone tell me the best software to use and how to use it for making tutorials for teaching computer skills.

i am looking to make a file of what i am doing on the computer. like first you move the mouse up to the file tab. i want to be able to record this.

is it possible to do this or do i need a program?

if so what type.

thanks in advance

I'm not aware of any software programes on the market, as a suggestion why not try using a series of screen print with narrative underneath.

there are a few programs out there that you can use to do this. Take a look at programs like screencorder (i think it's called) and macromedia's robodemo can do this

Do a google search for screen recorder software.

If you just use a screen recorder, you will probably have to then run the output through flash or after effects and add in any other text or animations that you need

Hope that helps
