Wink

I've been experimenting with Wink today. Wink is a freeware screen capture tool which allows to create Flash presentations. Capturing can be done manually (hitting a shortcut key whenever a frame needs to be captured), time based (x frames/sec) or input driven (mouse/keyboard). After capturing, notes and previous/next buttons can be easily added to the presentation.

As a test, I created a tutorial on how to install Nucleus CMS. It isn't quite a polished presentation and probably runs too quickly (I've might have cut out too much frames), but it shows what Wink is capable of. The flash file is 666 KB.

Well, I must say the tutorial is totally friendly and nice. Great! And Wink has proved to be a very useful tool.

It's a bit fast on some points. And I think (not sure) that you didn't record the part where install.php and install.sql need to be deleted.

Nevertheless, screencasts like these are worth a thousand words! Let's try this as part of the official docs, I say. :)

I'm using it for some time now and I like it very much.

I love Wink for its ease-of-use. After finding out about it last year, I have been telling people about it. The most recent one to try it, is a non-computer savvy colleague. Looks like he'll find it easy to use to.
