I use Screencase-o-matic now, and have been very pleased; it’s super-easy to record and super-easy to push videos directly to my YouTube account.

While it isn’t free; it is relatively inexpensive and will do many things besides just screencasts.

Shortgrass has created a series of video tours of our electronic resources, which are posted on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=theshortgrasslibrary&aq=f.

I also use this software to create videos of our videoconferences, which are posted on the RISE Network Vimeo Channel: http://vimeo.com/28410061

This software is fairly intuitive and easy to use.

There’s a range of functionality across the three with ScreenCastle being super quick and no fuss. Was sad to seen ScreenJelly go.
