You may customize the preview colors, add your logo, choose from about 50 different languages, change preview size, and configure when and where the preview will be displayed. Using a blog? Snap Shots can be implemented into most blog types and web pages and those using WordPress, they do offer a WordPress plug-in. As this is a WordPress theme, we did install the the plug-in for use on this site. Below are a couple of previews from YouTube & Wikipedia:

Overall I think this tool will help to provide an elevated user experience for most viewers.  It’s also important to note that if the particular user/reader wants to change a couple options or just doesn’t like the tool, there are settings built into the tool that will allow each user to customize.  Just hover over one of the snap shots, drag your mouse over to the top right corner and select the snap shot options.  Here you will be able to customize the experience to your liking or disable the tool completely.

I have used Movie Maker to do some very basic editing of a couple videos. The ease of use of the movie maker system made it possible to think that high quality professional videos are indeed attainable with this free tool.

The tool allows for separation of video and audio tracks.  Import audio and video in multiple formats.  I particularly like the easy implementation of the transitions and effects options.  To be honest, I’d literally be here for days just going over everything this powerful software can do.  So what I did was searched out some very useful and bite-size video tutorials that I think will be helpful in learning how to do the basics of professional video editing with this tool.

Check out the guys over at Atomic Learning where they’ve compiled various video tutorials that will quickly get you up and running.

Screen Toaster

Screen Toaster is a neat and useful online screen capture recorder. The service is completely free. Now, I say online because there is no downloading of software with Screen Toaster. Your recordings will take place in the Screen Toaster website. The tool allows for embedded webcam video straight on your recordings.

Webinaria

Webinaria is another useful screen recorder that is housed on your computer system. Webinaria will only cost you the time to download the tool.

Camstudio is a recommended staple for anyone who wants to do screen capture video. It appears that the value of this tools comes through in its flexibility. The number of options this tools allows you to manage is a bit overwhelming at first glance. As with other screen capture tools that we’ve tried, we were up and running with this software in minutes.

What I Like About This Free Tool

• What I like most about the tool has to be the flexibility in tailoring the software to my needs
• The highlighter tool over the cursor is another valuable option with the tool
• I like the compression feature, which appears to be a built-in tool for helping to shrink large file sizes

Things That Could Use Improvement

One thing I thought could have used some improvement was the embedded video function. I’m not sure if we were not using the software correctly or if there’s just a setting that we failed to check, but after trying to use this feature we were presented with a dark black box that covered about 1/5 of the screen. Other than this, the tool did exactly what we needed it to do, which was record video with decent quality. To test-drive the tool for yourself simply visit Camstudio.com here. Also be sure to checkout the other free screen capture tools we have listed on the site.

Jing only allows for 5 minutes of recording which might seem like a limitation in the beginning. Once you realize how organized your videos have to be to get your point across you may start to view that limitation as a benefit.  5 minutes will allow you to get your point across and help your viewer to remain interested through to the end of the video.

What I Like About This Free Tool

• I like the quality of the videos as the picture quality has been one of the best I’ve seen.
• Uploading videos to Screencast.com which keeps you from having to save large files to your computer
• After uploading to Screencast.com the embed links are ready for use on blogs, forums etc.

Things That Could Use Improvement

Basically the things that need improvement are the things that are offered in the Jing Pro version.  The free tool does not allow for direct upload to sites like YouTube and Facebook.  The free tool will display a logo on your recorded videos.  The free tool does not allow for webcam video recording along with your screen captures.  And the free tool does not allow you to save in multiple file formats.

Well, at a minimal investment of $14.95 all of these functions are available with the Pro version.  In the recorded video I am using the Pro version.  After seeing the quality of the free tool, upgrading to Pro was just a no brainer.

All-in-all the free version does the job and can be used for countless business applications.  So play around with it and get to creating some awesome videos!

For those that may not be familiar with the service we are talking about free online conversations, texts, and video calls absolutely free. Free calls are only allowed on Skype-to-Skype calls, which means that the person you call will need to be setup on Skype as well. Talk to anyone, anywhere in the world and it’s free.

What’s interesting is that Skype users at peak times reach up to 20 million users. At the time that I am writing this post there are 15,695,955 users online. According to Skype they have 8% of global international calling and are clearly now one of the leaders in the global internet communications industry. This means that your online business calls are going to be well supported and I’m sure Skype is consistently trying to make this service better for all of their millions of users.

The first call I successfully made was to my brother-in-law who was in China for one of his ski tournaments. I could not believe the quality of sound that was coming through the speakers. My most recent recollection to online calling before this conversation had been that of poor quality calls with miles of delay and static. This definitely was not the case. There literally was no delay and the quality of sound completely blew me away. I have yet to tryout the video calling as the computer I was using had a dysfunctional built-in HP webcam.

All-in-all there is no denying that business use with this type of tool is a no brainer. I have already started to implement Skype into my business and plan to make this my primary tool for communicating with other business colleagues that are located across the globe. In addition to normal business calls, there are a couple services that act as a plug-in to Skype.  These plugins allow for call recording, video conversation recording, conference call facilitation and recording for business meetings, and many other functions. These can be found in the extras under the business category on your Skype user interface.

So how have you used Skype in your business? If you have not used Skype’s services, how could you use Skype to help your business?

You simply download the software directly from the Webinaria site, start the program, hit the record button, name your file and destination, and your off and running.  After you’ve created your recording you’ll be prompted to preview the video, edit it, or quickly publish.

As mentioned in the video, I was quickly up and running with this software in less than 10 minutes after having downloaded it.  Because of the minimal tabs and buttons that are on the tool, I think this helps to guide you along with easy application.

Things To Consider

• The software does leave a bit to be desired in the area of options and customization.  Compared to other free screen capture tools, Webinaria appears to be less flexible.
• We were not able to successfully signup for an account which would allow for the uploading of video to their site for hosting.
• The file size of the recorded video was initially too big to use and upload to our site until we compressed it down.

All in all the software does what it sets out to do which is provide a useful screen capture tool that is not cumbersome to run.   To try out the software for yourself simply visit the link provided below and be sure to checkout the other free screen capture tools listed on the site.

Free Background Music With Incompetech

Incompetech is website that offers royalty free music that essentially can be used as free background music.  There are hundreds of songs available that range from short length tracks to full-length audio tracks.  Some of the genres and categories that you’ll find there include:

• Electronic and Rock
• World and Jazz
• Film Scoring Moods
• Lighter Faire
• Humorous
• Calming
• Uplifting
• World
• Musical

The site provides a quick preview of the song so that you may listen before deciding to download.  While this did take some time to do, it was well worth it coming across a winning track and knowing that I’d have to pay nothing to download it.  The creator of the site is Kevin Macleod.  While he doesn’t charge for the audio downloads, he does advise that donations are welcome.

If you find value in what Incompetech has to offer and you plan on visiting the site often, I would recommend to bookmark the following addresses as it took me some time to get to these pages where everything was nicely categorized.  If you do enter through the main home page you’ll find that it can be a bit confusing to find what your looking for.

Audacity provides a user-friendly interface with which to record and edit your audio. Within about 10 minutes of opening the program we had a fully edited and compressed audio track. For our purposes we felt that importing an audio track, recording my voice, and merging the tracks would be a good test of the usability and functionality of the software. After reading through the help menu for about 5 minutes we were off and running. I began by adding an mp3 audio track that I found over at Incomepetech. Incompetech is a royalty free music website where you can search through hundreds of free music tracks.

After the audio mp3 file was added I edited the length of the track to something reasonable for my message. I then edited the music track so that it would fade in and fade out based on my recorded audio message. Once these two tracks were finished I saved the tracks as a single mp3 file and the process was done. What we like the most was the interface which made it very easy to perform this task.

You’ll see that the software has many more features that can be utilized such as:

• Recording from multiple sources
• Adding audio effects such as echo and wahwah
• Altering of frequencies such as bass and treble
• Volume level monitoring
• And much more…

Audacity 1.2.6 is the download version that is fully functional. At this time they are working on a new version of the software that will provide additional features. Until then the 1.2.6 version should get the job done for you.

To learn more about Audacity and to get a copy of the free fully functional download, visit http://audacity.sourceforge.net/.
