In the last few years,representing and promoting your work,especially teaching something like photoshop tutorials using screencasts became very essential and popular for us.By this way,we can reach to thousands of people by uploading the videos to Youtube like websites.The below screencasting tools are all free for screen recording but of course their features are not as much as paid ones.Some of them are web-based and some of them are softwares to use lifetime.Anyway,you can easily record your screen and add audio or edit your recorded screen videos with these tools.If you know more free tools then please tell me commenting so we can add into the list.
CamStudio
CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs)
Here are just a few ways you can use this software:
* You can use it to create demonstration videos for any software program
* Or how about creating a set of videos answering your most frequently asked questions?
* You can create video tutorials for school or college class
* You can use it to record a recurring problem with your computer so you can show technical support people
