Comrades,
Sorry for the cross-posting.
I would like to find a way to make captured "film clips" of screen
actions, annotate them, and make them available on the web for a
cross-platform audience.
Right now colleagues of mine are doing this with Lotus Screencam, but
the end product, an executable file, is only usable on Windows
platforms.
I know I can use a package like Abrosia Sowftware's Mac-only Snapz
Pro to make a QuickTime movie of a screen sequence, which can be
embedded into, say, a PowerPoint presentation, but my colleagues,
being mostly PC users, want something they can author with a PC.
Also, the Lotus product creates an executable file which can be run
on a Windows machine with no further software requirement. The
solution I described above presumably would require PowerPoint to
run. But having said that, we offer a wide range of PowerPoint
training material already, so this might be an acceptable solution.
(These PowerPoint presentations are also offered as HTML pages.)
Any ideas? Remember, the end producut must be usable on both Macs and
PCs, or at least generate files for both platforms.
