We use SnapXPro to record our video tutorials, with a microphone plugged into the computer to catch our audio. This generates a really long .mov file with audio.
We drop it into a non-linear editor application like Final Cut Pro, cut out all of the mistakes and edit the pacing of the tutorial, and add any post-effects necessary, such as highlighting portions of the interface we are showing off or circling parameters.
It’s as simple as animating the opacity of a transparent graphic in a layer above the source video layer.
What application are you looking to edit your video with?

It can always be added in editing after the person is done recording the full tutorial…

HI everyone, thanks for all the insight.
I knew as soon as they announced the going budget that it was severely undercut, and since the reel cutting was basically a side-job I did at the school when I was still a student there, I guess I was the first choice to possibly do this as a “favor” to them at that price.
It’s going to be two DVDs…one an interactive one with menus and the like, and the other a widescreen looping presentation for a portfolio show. I’m friends with the Academic Director of the school and the Portfolio Teacher, and have given them stringent guidelines for the students to follow when creating their reels. They are going to be doing the encoding for me, handing off all the files I need to make both DVDs several weeks before the DVDs are due.
The people who are handling the budget are the ones who were expecting a ridiculous turn-over time.
