Just found Wink v1.0 - fantastic "video" screen capture to flash for making tuts!

[fitwell]

This is an awesome piece of software! I was looking at instructions
for DVD Shrink (another _great_ freeware <g>) on this page a couple of
hours ago: http://www.dvdshrink.info/guides.php. If the links are
clicked on, flash tutorials come up that are just incredible.

On the bottom of that page, the author so kindly mentions that the
software used to make the tuts is Wink.

Wink v1.0 can be found here:
http://www.debugmode.com/wink/

Its dl page is here:
http://www.debugmode.com/wink/download.php

Clicking on that dl link takes you to this Simtelnet page:
http://www.simtel.net/product.download.mirrors.php?id=64334
where you choose a mirror closest to you to dl from.

I made a tut already and find it pretty incredible. Hope someone else
finds this useful.

I plan to use it to help my friends out with their computers by
sending them mini tuts via email. Trying to verbally walk them
through things just doesn't work as they're all much more newbie than
I am <lol>!

Gee, I failed to read the ng in February, short month, y'know. Thanks,
fitwell.

You're welcome, Andy. [Odd of SOS to do the little slap on the wrist
(even if it's supposed to be playful)]. RL gets in the way. Me, too,
I missed it last February. I was struggling to keep my head above
water at work, never mind keeping up in ngs - low down in my list of
priorities when that happens <g>. Well, I'm out of the job-from-hell
and back to having a life again and I was very pleased to find this
app, let me tell you <vbg>!

I did make a test tut with it yesterday and it works very, very well.

It's neat because you don't actually record anything. It snaps
"screenshots" of a window as you press the PAUSE button. It also
records where the cursor was in each frame. I imagine that the Flash
tweening effect of object movement is used here because after
rendering, the cursor "moves" between position so it looks like it was
a video that was made. This is great because unlike creating a video
screen capture, I have total control over the frames. I can add and
delete at will. Totally awesome! Also, it's when you click on a
frame that you can add text boxes and "next" and "previous" buttons.
No fuss, no muss as Wink pauses automatically on pages that get these
buttons.

I must say I'm very impressed with this app. But I wouldn't have
known what it was wihtout having seen the DVD Shrink guides I saw
yesterday. I watched about 6 of them and so when I saw the link to
Wink at the bottom of the page, that's how I knew what it was and what
to expect.

Conceivably, now that I've learned how Wink operates, it shouldn't
take long at all to make up this type of flash tuts.

Cheers!

I am another culprit, because I see from Total Uninstall that I installed
Wink 1.0 on May 25 *2003* and never I had the time to look at it!

Shame on me... ;-)

Thanks, fitwell, to bring it out again.
