Hi, I am working on a project for which I need a tool that I am not sure exists... If anyone knows of a solution for the following, please let me know:

(BTW, I am thinking of resorting to PowerPoint, but I will post this anyway in case a solution exists...)

I have to create a storyboard/flow chart type of thing for an interactive training video. The final video will be created in Flash, but I am providing the software demos and the instructional text. (They want to use Flash because following each demo will be an interactive exercise for the user.)

So, I am looking for something akin to storyboarding software that would allow me to:
  • Integrate Camtasia video clips with text/captions in each cell
  • Enable the Flash developer to easily import the whole thing to Flash

Does such a tool exist? And did I mention that I would prefer to use shareware??? Or, something that comes with a fully usable 30-day free trial???

Like I said, I am thinking PowerPoint may be the simplest way to go. I can add the Camtasia demos to the PPT slides with the text, then provide the Camtasia files separately to the developer.

Thanks in advance!

Well, it has been a while since I used Camtasia, but turns out that Camtasia Studio 4 renders out flash files and in addition to integrating text, audio and video, you can also add quizzes and surveys. So, problem solved and we may even have eliminated the need to hire a Flash programmer... (I created a "How to Navigate DVXuser.com" video for my test. But it's really lame, so I am not posting it here...) :huh:
 
Yep, it was on how I searched for threads on storyboard software and found 19 threads, none of which solved my specific problem. It seems that as far as traditional storyboards, most people still prefer to draw vs. using software... Anyway, what I needed was pretty unique and fortunately I found a workable solution -- the project manager just signed off on my plan.
