Video Recording Software
Hi,
i am curious if there is a freeware or cheap screen capture, video, and editing from multiple sources. essentially, i would like to two two sources being recorded; the screen and the presenter. i would then be able to edit them to include sections from both or split screen it to form one video. the editing i would be doing would be very small things such as adding text boxes, highlighting key areas, merging videos(the two sources mentioned above) and other small things like this.
i have looked into snagit and it seems that you need to buy its editing software for 300 plus dollars. i would rather not spend this amount of money on a software like this when a couple more hundred and i could be using adobe(i am using a PC).
any recommendations would greatly be appreciated!! thanks a lot!!

Hi jaymenagy
your question doesn't fully address what you need, since we have only your input.
Let me encapsulate
(a)
I want is the ability to record two movies at the same time. << okay
(b)
one would be the screen video<< as in the desktop?? What is screen video?
(c)
The other would be the presenter.<< where is the presenter? On the desktop as well from a web cam?
(d)
would then take both files and edit them into a third<<okay?

Unless you use a videocam, the only other choice is a webcam to record externally from your PC. If you are presenting using images on your PC, then the webcam is an option.

- the screen video is basically a screen capture of the desktop. ie opening and closing documents, filling out forms, slides etc.
(c)
The other would be the presenter.<< where is the presenter? On the desktop as well from a web cam?
- the presenter would e the one controlling the desktop. who will be speaking and explaining things related to the screen video(desktop). i imagine this would be accomplished via webcam

Sorry I was thinking you were recording two computers. If you want to record the presenter and the computer then you would need to record the presenter with a video camera or a webcam and splice it later with what was captured from the desktop via camstudio. I don't see any single solution that could do this, specially open source or freeware.

thanks i think i may have confused people. all i want is the ability to record two movies at the same time. one would be the screen video the other would be the presenter. i would then take both files and edit them into a third which would include cuts from movie one two or both
im not too sure the software recommended above can do this.
