You need a screen capture program like Camtasia (PC) or Screenflow (Mac). But the graphics for his video are created with Power Point (PC) or Keynote (Mac). Its really a rather simple video to emulate with these tools.

  Yah...Camtasia studio is the way to go. It has a 30 day trial and the latest version is really awesome.
  
  Also, Adobe Captivate is pretty incredible but EXPENSIVE...It's a good investment if you plan to do training or education development

For Mac, Keynote+Screenflow is a combo that cannot be beaten for quick video presentations.

To answer the threadstarter's question...

Memberspring.com's video used Keynote (Mac program). That's very clear, as evidenced by the build-ins for his texts.

Either the video was created by screen-capturing a Keynote presentation with Screenflow, as someone earlier suggested, or exporting a Keynote presentation as a .mov file, which the 2010 version of the program alllows.

All of that is correct except Adobe After Effects is not a core video editing software, it is an effect creation software. It's kinda like Photoshop but in motion with a lot of key framing involved. Adobe's video editor is "Adobe Premiere" which I highly recommend for intense video creation.

There are some things i use for video production and not just "effects" in after effects. CS5 is incredibly powerful and more of an all in one.

The only reason i would use something else such as pro 9 is for audio, so i guess "correct" will be relative to experience.

1. Easier to organize your thoughts
2. Don't have to worry about lighting, backgrounds, etc.
3. You can still make videos, even if you're camera shy
4. Cheaper point of entry, software is cheaper than a video camera

There are lots of other reasons.

Personally, for me, I've been trying to make videos more using both live video and presentations mixed together. Screen recordings are starting to wear thin on me and I think the human interaction helps build rapport.

It takes a bit of work to become "aware" of yourself when you're on camera though. Weirdly, there is an actual learning curve to looking natural, even if you memorize your script perfectly.

To generate raw material for your video you either use a camera or if it's a software tutorial, web tour, etc..a screen capture program (camtasia, etc). You can also create raw material using your still camera, graphics program or presentation software like powerpoint. This would be referred to as the "production" stage

The raw "material" is then "finished" (edit,sfx,music,vo, etc) using software like final cut, vegas or premiere - or in the case of camtasia, you can edit within the application itself. This is called the "post production" stage

Programs like After Effects are not typically used for editing, it's primary purpose is for compositing or complex effects that are not easily handled in your editing software.

Animoto is not an editing solution. It automatically edits your uploaded music, pics and videos in a very dynamic and cool way - but leaves you little control compared to professional editing solutions.

  None of this is really correct as there are uses for each of these programs at all skill levels. It really depends on the task.

Video is the medium. Just like text, or audio.

In fact, at the very base of the definition, video is simply a sequence of still images.

Video is the technology of electronically capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion.

Vegas Pro 9 handles HD without problems as long as your hardware is current. I do everything in HD and found Vegas to work better than anything else PC based. (I have CS5 Premiere too)

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you

Camtasia for Mac is $99 and for Windows is $299. But Camtasia for Windows has a lot of features that cam for Mac doesn't have. The price itself justified the difference.

Camtasia Windows comes with some animation footage from Digital Juice - Great site for footage

Overall, Camtasia = Quality.

Sorry, but Vegas does not suck. I suggest you upgrade to the latest version which is quite cheap and it does do HD of course. Sony Vegas is not the original OP problem. Whatever you get, you have to learn a little to use.

Sounds more like user error to me... I LOVE Sony Vegas and my HD stuff turns out perfectly fine.

To answer your original post. You can actually use Sony Vegas Movie Studio to achieve what you want without spending more on another video program. I have Camtasia, Adobe CS4 Master collection, which includes After Effects and Premier Pro. But I also have Movie Studio 6 from Sony and use it to make many videos.

Reason: It's quick and its easy to make slide show style videos and even to animate some simple effects.

Just PM me your details and I call you on Skype and talk you through how you can do it if that would help.

If you have no voice recording software, then get yourself a free copy of Audacity. That will be used to make the voice over, then you will use Sony Studio to make your video.

You may be surprised at the videos you can make with just original static images, and then using Sony Vegas.

Let me know if you would like help on this.

Regards

Martin

Sony Vegas Pro is definitely one of my favorites. Intermediate level but IMO it's easy to use, and has some great effects that are standard.

Have you tried screenflow? I always feel a bit ripped of with camtasia for mac as it doesn't have the feature to highlight the cursor (or at least mine doesn't). Also found rendering much better in screenflow.
