[TriLUG] Instructional Video Capture Software

[Tim Jowers via TriLUG]

Haven't done it but maybe you can record with webex/hangouts/etc and post
edit as above. Site lists a freemium linux app, Lightworks, which says it
has cut many movies,

If you are a sw shop you might already have robohelp but don't know about
it working on Linux.

Cheers,
Tim
