What if I told you I had a program that would make others love you more? You’d probably say it would be worth using, no matter what the cost. Demo Builder does just that. It gives a very simple and easy to use interface when it comes to building Flash video tutorials.

Demo Builder is quick and easy to learn. Just familiarize yourself with the product for a few minutes, and you are ready to create your first presentations moments later.

To get started, all you need to do is get the recorder running and start going through the movements you want Demo Builder to record. While you’re going through the recording, you can even add in your own voice-over narration. Demo Builder can also add balloon tool tips and notes without you having to touch the keyboard. It couldn’t get much easier than this.

Demo Builder is also packed full with different objects and tools that you can use in your tutorials. Simply drag them into your presentation and you are ready to go. You can also give the folks watching your tutorial something to do while they are viewing it. By setting up events in the tutorial, you can wait on your viewer to do something before you move on to the next step. If you spend any time at all creating tutorials of your own, there is no reason you shouldn’t at least give this program a shot.

When you can bring some real interactivity and ease of use to your customers, you know you have a good deal. That is exactly what Demo Builder offers you. Say goodbye to dozens of written tutorials and step into the 21st century.

If you’re already familiar with Demo Builder, then you’ll be thrilled to know that Demo Builder v5.1 has just been released! This new version is much faster in opening/saving large projects. Its new features include:

Add interactive menu to your movies
Add an interactive menu at the top of your movie to link to additional content, or create a table of contents for large projects.

Handouts – Export your movie in DOC format!
You can now publish your project in Microsoft Word DOC format, which will display your slides on printable pages in the format you choose. Include cursor moves and text boxes if so desired, and even blank lines so students can take notes. Great for handouts!

LMS integration – SCORM 1.2/2004 and AICC compliant
DemoBuilder 5.1 is now fully compliant with SCORM and AICC Learning Management Systems.

Password protect your movies
Add password protection to your movies. This option allows you to create movies that will ask the user for a password prior to the movie playing.

Expiration date
Add an expiration date to your movies, so that they will no longer play after the expiration date is reached. If a user attempts to view a movie that has expired, they are redirected to a Web page or display text with hyperlink.

Stamp your movies
Easily add a custom watermark (or logo) to all frames in your movies. The watermark can be altered in terms of physical location within all frames and opacity. You can optionally make it ‘clickable’ so that it hyperlinks to a Web page of your choosing.

End of Frame Action
You can now add the following actions at the end of a frame: continue, go To frame, go to movie, go to URL, close movie, or run EXE.

Click Zone – OnDoubleClick event
Now instead of just assigning events based on a single click within a region, outside a region, or hovering over a region, you can assign a separate event if a user double-clicks within or outside a click zone or button. Events you can assign to OnDoubleClick events include: continue, go to frame, go to movie, go to url, send e-mail, close movie, or run EXE.

Customize preloader
You can now customize the preloader image that you can optionally display at the beginning of a movie before it is fully loaded. You can also adjust what percentage must be reached before the movie starts.

Hotkeys to stop, pause/unpuase, and end recording
New hotkeys have been included for stopping, pausing, resuming, and ending a recording. This is helpful if you want to take a break in recording, perhaps to open a new window and get it positioned properly before resuming recording.

Hide system tray icon during recording
The system tray icon always used to display in the system tray during recording. It is this icon that used to have to be clicked to end a recording session. Now that there is a hotkey assigned to ending a recording, you can opt to hide the system tray icon as it is no longer needed. This is useful for full screen movies where you do not want the system tray icon captured in your movie.

Grid, snap-to grid
These are useful new tools to help line up images, cursors, notes, and balloons within your movie frames.

Fix last IE update
A script (ieupdate.js) has been included, which is used to work around the KB912945 patch.
