Instant Demo is a Windows application that provides a new quick and easy way to create demos and tutorials of your software in the popular Flash format.

Instant Demo is ideal for software demonstrations, customer support and training. Instant Demo uses a simple design philosophy, providing an intuitive approach to the creation process. A single click of a button is all that is required to start recording. Instant demo automatically captures any visual changes on your desktop, including mouse appearance and movement. Voice annotation is fully supported by Instant Demo with live sound recording during capture, as well as recording or inserting sound files during editing. Editing features include annotated text and interactive hotspots which can be added quickly and easily using a simple control panel. Instant Demo automatically calculates the correct display time for your annotated text. Images can be imported using cut and paste, and Instant Demo can be easily integrated with your favourite imaging software - there is no need to learn another graphics program. The demonstrations are created in the Flash format and are small in size, requiring only 0.1MB per minute of animation. Instant Demo takes full advantage of the Flash streaming format, allowing immediate playback of your movie in all supporting web browsers. A picture says a thousand words - an instant demo says a million!
