Recording your laptop screen for tutorials?

I've been asked if I can give tutorials on Lightroom to a few peeps locally who are just getting to grips with it. I know it can be done but is there one that's recommended and hopefully, as I'm tight, one that's free?

Thanks .

Print Screen and then paste it into a document/image canvas. Photoshop can do it, probably office programs as well.

Should of made myself clearer, I'd like to record my mouse movements, my voice etc so as I say; get the grad tool then the viewer on play back can see how I used it and where I located it.

Downloaded the PC Advisor recommended application - Camstudio which also was listed in the inspiredfeed link also.

Many thanks!

Let me know how you get on, I always found Camstudio buggy, crashed a lot and audio would go out of sync. I ended up buying Faststone Capture a couple years ago for $19 (free updates for life) which works flawlessly.
But the are loads of freebies around now, the EZVID I linked to looks very good.

You can also download a FREE version of FastStone Capture.
It is an old version but works perfectly !

At least you could get it in the past but it may have been removed ?

Downloaded that whilst its free and, more importantly, I remember! If this goes out of sync and doesn't work well then I'll install the Faststone instead

I think FRAPS will do what you want. May be a bit late to this though.

Not sure FRAPS would be suitable for screen recording general Windows applications and tutorial creation.

Hi,
I think it is ease to record your laptop screen for tutorials using Screen Recorder. I'm using a professional screen recording software, It can capture desktop activities, create video tutorials, presentations and record game process with ease. Also, you can select the area of your screen, choose your system and microphone and take screenshot when you’re recording.

I know both AMD (Radeon) and NVidia both provide free software for recording gaming, not sure if they can be used to record a normal desktop session. If I remember I might try to tonight.
