Record all visible screen activity, including mouse clicks, cursor movement, keystrokes, animation, and menus. Anything you don’t need can be edited out later.
All cursor movement is captured and editable. DemoWorks even adjusts the cursor’s path if you delete or hide frames when editing.
DemoWorks provides three ways to record exactly what you need: record everything (auto-capture), record only selected activity (manual), or record only when something happens (action-based). You also have the option of running DemoWorks in the background so it’s always available when you need it via keyboard shortcuts or mouse click.
Choose to record a customizable region, application, window, or the entire screen.
Intuitive interface requires no special multi-media, programming, or IT skills. DemoWorks can be used by anyone.
Review frames at-a-glance in the Thumbnails Panel and perform simple editing tasks, such as delete and hide.
The Timeline Panel provides an overview of how all your movie elements work together. With it, you can review and adjust the timing of frames in your project. You can even drag multiple effects across frames.
Add audio files containing narration or music. You can add narration that was recorded separately, or recorded in DemoWorks during or after video creation.
DemoWorks is the only application that lets you record a movie and then record narration while you are playing back the preview. This allows you perfect the movie, then add narration. If you make a mistake, simply rewind past the mistake and start recording again. There is no need to re-record the entire script.
Hide or delete any frame and DemoWorks will automatically adjust the cursor's path so it looks natural.
You can customize the mouse pointer style with any image as well as adjust the cursor's motion on the screen.
Configure a single Masterframe to display information across the entire movie, such as a logo or message.
Specify the frame rate, audio frequency, sizing and other general movie properties.
Instantly view your movie in the DemoWorks player before you publish the output. You can even add narration while you watch.
Insert any text in your video, with a caption or without. Choose from a variety of editable caption themes.
Insert any image in any frame, such as a product logo.
Use shapes to highlight items on the screen. You can choose the border color, fill color, and size.
Fade any effect (for example: balloons, captions, or highlights) in and out.
Easy-to-use publishing wizard for setting output preferences.
Generate a movie that automatically attaches itself to an email message.
DemoWorks can produce very small file sizes for an optimal downloading experience.

Generate a Flash (.swf) file with themed navigation bar. DemoWorks integrates with Doc-To-Help to easily integrate these files in your Help projects.
Generate a self-running EXE file that can be run on any PC. DemoWorks' own player is used, so no third-party player needs to be installed. This option is great for CD publishing.
Produce animated GIFs for small movies. These are great when movies need to be short and small in size, for use in Help files or as email attachments. Animated GIFs play automatically; they do not include play, pause, stop controls, but you can set the number of times the movie repeats before stopping.
Produce movies in Windows' standard movie formats.
Produce movies in Java format for a Web-browser alternative to Flash. DemoWorks is one of the few tools to offer this output format.
