I am trying to decide which to use, camtasia or captivate. &nbsp;I want to create a training video that will contain both video of a person explaining a concept and powerpoint slides also explaining the concept. &nbsp;I am envisioning a &quot;storyboard&quot; where part of the presentation is a video file and part is a powerpoint.<br />
Camtasia seems better suited for this, but i read good reviews of captivate. &nbsp;Also, which video camera is best for this purpose? &nbsp;Webcams dont seem to give good resolution.

Camtasia or Captivate, which better to use for combined video and powerpoint training presentation?

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.

MultiMedia Applications

Camtasia Studio is a software suite for creating video presentations directly via screencast, or via a direct recording plug-in to Microsoft PowerPoint. The screen area to be recorded can be chosen freely, and audio or other multimedia recordings may be recorded at the same time or added separately from any other source and integrated using the studio component of the product. The editor can import multimedia objects and arrange them and add several effects; it can also be used to modify the audio and video as tracks. Deployment can be converted to common video formats including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV, AVI, and Adobe Flash.
