There was some sort of ratio I remember reading. &nbsp;XXX hours per XXX minutes of final video.<br />
Does anyone know what this rule-of-thumb is?

Estimating time to create a tutorial video using Captivate or Camtasia or Articulate

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

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.
