Ahhh.. that makes sense. I’ve heard of Camtasia, although I’m a little disappointed to hear you aren’t using MATLAB at least a little for the process since it does have some basic functionality. I’ve helped some students in the past generate some pretty amazing visualizations entirely within MATLAB. Shoot me an email if you’re interesting in see the results or hearing about some of the issues we had.

I made the video with Camtasia. That is how I make all the videos that appear on my blog:

It is screen capture software and video editing is included. The “Made in MATLAB” tag is a reference to what version of MATLAB I was using, not how I captured the recording.

Thanks for the cool video analysis. It really helped me understand what the behavior of the solvers is. I noticed the title screen says the video was made in MATLAB. Did you just use some sort of simple program with getframe calls and then a final movietoavi or did you do something more sophisticated? Is there some way to add the voiceover within MATLAB as well?

You bring up a good point. I got an email notice quite a while ago about the contest, but I didn’t get anything right before the contest like I used to. I suspect the team just forgot to send one out.
