I usually use Wink 2.0 to create free tutorials on my computer. However this week Techsmith, the makers of Camtasia Studio, are making Camtasia Studio 3.1.3 available for free download.

You can download the software at http://download.techsmith.com/camta…amtasiaf.exe

You will still need to register for a free registration key when you install the software, as I discovered when I first tried to install it, and you can register for that at http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/pcpls.asp.They will e-mail you the registration key, so make sure to use a real e-mail address.

They are doing this promotion in hopes to up sell you to the $149 to upgrade to the newest version 5. The $149 is half the normal price, so it’s a bit of a bargain if you want the extra features in the newer version. That said, Camtasia Studio 3 is very feature rich for most of what people need.

From reading this forum post about the free Camtasia Studio 3 it sounds like it might work better than Wink, so we will see. I have had problems with sound skipping while recording tutorials using Wink, as they report on the forum, so Camtasia Studio 3 should provide me with better audio.
