title: *FREE* Screencasting Apps & Utilities
body: <p>I know there has been previous talk on here about screencasting tools/apps, however I thought I would be more specific in what I am after in the hope that it can help me and others :)</p>
  
  <p>I am looking at trialling some screencasts on <a href="http://cantgrokwontgrok.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">my blog</a>. There are numerous reasons for this (hopefully being more helpful to readers, improving my elocution etc.)</p>
  
  <p>So, <strong>do you know of any good FREE screencasting tools &amp; utilities to get started?</strong> I am not interested in apps that cost at this time because I do not want to shell out until I am more comfortable with the medium!</p>
  
  <p>Also, if you have posted screencasts yourself, please feel free to share links <strong>with your answer</strong>, it would be good to see the quality that is produced etc (and drive traffic to your blog/site) ;)</p>
