I used Camtasia to do the screen recording, and I think it worked great. The zoom and pan features are really cool. If you watch the video without the annotations, it's a pretty neat demo. I was fearful it would be too confusing without explaining what was going on though, so I added those annotations.
I'll definitely be making a better version of the video. One very difficult part of doing the take was scripting it. There are quite a few awesome features of the toolbar that I wanted to show off, but jumping right into them could be confusing.
It's amazing how seemingly little things can be so difficult. I'm currently working on a landing page for a product idea I have. The product itself is actually really simple and trivial to get if you see it in the flesh, but explaining in the confines of a landing page has proven extremely difficult.
Like they say: "The little things... there's nothing bigger."
It's really difficult deciding on things when every single word matters. I spend a lot of time and energy either being stuck in analysis paralysis, or trying to avoid it.
