ComponentOne DemoWorks

Record Screen Activity and Produce Flash, GIF, AVI, EXE, and Java

DemoWorks gives you the power to produce professional quality demonstration videos without programming, multi-media, or graphic design expertise. With DemoWorks, you can record any screen activity -- add narration, captions, and highlights if you wish -- and produce videos in formats such as Flash, WMV, animated GIF, and AVI. And frame-by-frame editing makes “one take” demo creation a reality. DemoWorks is great for producing videos for Help and tutorial materials, web content for sales and marketing, FAQs and knowledgebase articles, and enhanced bug reporting.
  • Complete Motion Recording

    Record all visible screen activity, including mouse clicks, cursor movement, keystrokes, animation, and menus. Anything you don’t need can be edited out later.

  • Capture Cursor Movement

    All cursor movement is captured and editable. DemoWorks even adjusts the cursor’s path if you delete or hide frames when editing.

  • Multiple Recording Options

    Choose to record a customizable region, application, window, or the entire screen.

  • User-Friendly GUI

    Intuitive interface requires no special multi-media, programming, or IT skills. DemoWorks can be used by anyone.

  • View and Work with Thumbnails

    Review frames at-a-glance in the Thumbnails Panel and perform simple editing tasks, such as delete and hide.

  • Editable Timeline with Layers

    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 in Real Time, or Whenever You are Ready

    Add audio files containing narration or music. You can add narration that was recorded separately, or recorded in DemoWorks during or after video creation.

  • Narrate During Preview

    DemoWorks is the only application that let's you record a movie and then record narration while you are playing back the preview. This let's 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 Frames with Cursor Motion Auto-Correction

    Hide or delete any frame and DemoWorks will automatically adjust the cursor's path so it looks natural.

  • Customizable Mouse Cursors and Paths

    You can customize the mouse pointer style with any image as well as adjust the cursor's motion on the screen.

  • Built-in Preview Player

    Instantly view your movie in the DemoWorks player before you publish the output. You can even add narration while you watch.

  • Insert Text with or without Captions

    Insert any text in your video, with a caption or without. Choose from a variety of editable caption themes.

  • Customizable Highlights

    Use shapes to highlight items on the screen. You can choose the border color, fill color, and size.

  • Quick Publishing Wizard

    Easy-to-use publishing wizard for setting output preferences.

  • File Size Optimization

    DemoWorks can produce very small file sizes for an optimal downloading experience.

  • Create Flash Output

    Generate a Flash (.swf) file with themed navigation bar. DemoWorks integrates with Doc-To-Help to easily integrate these files in your Help projects.

  • Output an EXE with Built-In Player

    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.

  • DemoWorks Exclusive Animated GIFs

    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.

  • Create Windows-Standard AVI files

    Produce movies in Windows' standard movie format.

  • Unique Java Output

    Produce movies in Java format for a Web-browser alternative to Flash. DemoWorks is one of the few tools to offer this output format.

  • Record on Command

    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.

  • Stamp a Video with Your Logo or Copyright

    Configure a single Masterframe to display information across the entire movie, such as a logo or message.

  • Adjustable Movie Properties

    Specify the frame rate, audio frequency, sizing and other general movie properties.

  • Insert Images Anywhere

    Insert any image in any frame, such as a product logo.
