Cheaper Alternative To Camtasia?

Hey guys. I'm trying to find some cheaper alternative to camtasia so would appreciate some unbiased opinions on what's best in terms of simple screen capture/recording and basic editing tools with zoom in/out facilities.

Don't really wanna spend the money on camtasia at the moment so any info on good quality, cheaper alternatives would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Jing, its made by the same folks as camtasia. It just has a few limitations.

I just had a client call me about this last week. He had found some cheap/free alternatives and couldnt figure out how to get them to work.

Camtasia is the industry standard for a reason. It's worth every penny.

If you don't need to record more than 5 minutes or so of video, try Jing.
