Creating a Narrated PowerPoint using Jing

Jing is simple screencasting software offered on a ‘freemium’ basis, i.e. there’s a free version with reduced functionality (all files are exported as .swfs), or a paid version ($14.95pa) which allows you to export your files as MP4s, and therefore upload into YouTube. A nice video here for how to use the software to create a screencast (a screencast is defined by Wikipedia as: “A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration.”):

    It’s cool to meet a freeware but Jing limits my screencast in 5 minutes and online generates SWF file which is quite useless to me.

    Now I’m using DemoCreator.

    Anyway, Jing rocks for many people.
