Hey Guys,

I am looking for some free (or cheap, one time payment) video creation software for creating YouTube videos to promote my website. I don't mind if it is download or online.

I am looking for something like -
Sparkol VideoScribe

or

PowToon, free business presentation software animated video maker and PowerPoint alternative

but anything will be considered, if nothing decent is proposed I think I will probably sign back up to sparkol!

Thank-You

I've heard about Camstudio as the free one and Camtasia as the paid one, although I haven't really used yet any of these as I've not yet made any sales video.

Cam Studio is good, but the latest version makes you install a whole load of other "free" software at the same time. You still need something to edit the video with, though.

Active Presenter ActivePresenter - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com (not an affiliate link) is the closest I've found to Camtasia for free. It comes with basic editing.

To use a tool like Sparkol, their free trial is a closest you can get to a cheap solution in that quality level.

Powtoon is a free option http://www.powtoon.com/ with some limitations, 2 Pro versions available.

There is a lot of work involved in those interfaces so it's hard to beat that price.

Another GREAT tool is PREZI,com, makes really cool animations which can be recorded as videos. Has a bit a learning curve but it's not too difficult.

Somehow animated videos, more slide style, is Animoto, free and cheap options.

To replace the $300 Camtasia suit, get screencast-O-Matic for $15 bucks a year, makes 99% what you need to make great screenrecording videos.

To record audio only, go with Audacity, free tool.

  I tried two or three free ones before deciding on Camtasia.
  
  Of the free ones, the best imo was Screencast-o-matic.
  
  But it didn't have many features, and there were no fancy effects. But it was easy to operate, which funnily enough, not all of them are imo.
  
  Hope this helps
  
  Thanks

  Animoto for Free, Screen-Cast-O-Matic for $15 Dollars is great as well
  
  However, not to mess around, Camtasia Studio is THE thing to get if you can swing the bucks.
  
  We always focus on FREE and CHEAP. But if you are going to be doing caps and vids and editing, this program can fit the bill in so many ways.
  
  Thanks

My vote for free no cost video creation software goes to Windows Movie Maker.

A very easy learning curve, plenty of transition options and overall just great for making quick videos...

I must echo the statements of other Warriors: Camtasia is an extremely powerful video creation tool... Well worth the price.

You can also download a free trial version and take it for a test drive...

It gets my vote for one of the absolute best video tools I own...

  Perhaps you need to think about why you give up videoscribe, which feature you care the most, easy video creation software like Ezvid, Smartpixel might be your choice, they both have free and paid version for you to choose.

Sparkol without a doubt.

They are constantly adding new things to it, they are constantly updating their software, and if you are really clever about things, you can actually get the price of the membership back by creating and selling a whiteboard video or two to other businesses.

  Animoto ticks all the boxes. The free version only lets you record 30 second videos so I record 3 of these and edit them together in Windows movie maker ( also free ). All of a sudden I have a high quality 1 min 30 sec video for free - simple!
