Creating Flash-based movies that act as animated guides can be an extremely effective way to present training information or even sales messages.
Using the likes of Camtasia Studio ($299), Macromedia’s Captivate ($499), Multidmedia’s Capture ($199.99) or even DebugMode’s Wink ($0) you can create easy-to-use videos that almost anyone of any skill level can use.
If you’re used to traditional screen capture software that outputs a movie format such as .avi or .mpg then you might like to try one of the Flash-based alternatives. Being Flash animations, designed for the Web, one of the biggest benefits of using one of these applications is the relatively small filesize of the presentations they generate. That together with the 98% statistic that purports how many web browsers are now Flash compatible.
