In this video I show how to create a screen capture video and do minor edits using completely free software. I will demonstrate:
- How to do a screen capture video using TipCam (output is a .flv file),
- How to convert the .flv file to .wmv using Any Video Converter (AVC),
- How to make simple edits using Windows Movie Maker (WMM),
- How to convert the edited .wmv file to mp4 using Any Video Converter
There are quite a few steps involved, but everything is free.
My cursor is highlighted in green, because I am showing and editing another video which has the cursor highlighted in yellow. You will understand when you watch the video.
When I created the video, I made a mistake. At one point about 2/3 of the way through I got up to do something. I pushed the mic up so it was right alongside the headset and when I started up again I forgot to bring it back down. So, the sound was muted for the last part. I did 2 things to correct it, and have both videos below. They are exactly the same except for the volume in the last section. I think they both sound about the same.
In the first video I used “volume leveling” in Camtasia 7.

For the second one I split it into two sections and jacked up the audio as much as I could in the second section. Then I produced 2 mp4’s, put them back into Camtasia and produced one final mp4.

In the video I mention a couple of other videos. They are:
Filezilla Demo (3rd Video in this post)
I also mention Windows Movie Maker. It is no longer available.
