Overnight Database updates, found myself looking at the business end of a taser! Water Cooler.You can try both ways and see what works best for you. Plus, it is hard to sound natural recording audio this way. It will be hard to speak at the same pace that the video is moving at, and ultimately, you will probably spend more time editing. I feel that recording the video, then trying to lay live audio on top of it is much harder. Editing is a bit of an art and it may take some time before you get the hang of it. Dissolve screen transitions can also disguise some minor mistakes that you make.

That way, you can simply edit out the bad takes and your mouse won't be jumping around everywhere. I find that keeping my mouse still until I have a good take is a good idea. You are going to mess up, but that is what editing is for :). It can be a little difficult to record the audio along with video, it just takes some practice. The recording of audio and the screen capture works pretty well live.

I think I would prefer to add that at a later time, so I can not sound like an idiot trying to think while I know I'm being recorded. So far I've just tried the free CamStudio and it looks like it might work for what I need, but I haven't tested the audio recording yet. We've got the Creative Cloud so I guess I could edit through Premiere anyway. They also have pretty decent tutorials if you don't have much experience with it. If you have used any video editing software before, it will be pretty familiar. or in your case, have someone else do the talking for you :) I think both of the screen capture software programs allow you to talk over the video, but it's easier to do it later in the editing software - less pressure and you can edit for length or speed up slow parts.

Works pretty well if you just need simple stuff.

I used to create lots of video screen captures with Camtasia Recorder or CamStudio, then add voiceovers later on using video editing software like Camtasia Editor or Sony Vegas.
