ScreenAction Studio is a $16 screencasting tool that sounds like it has a lot of features. I find it a little disturbing, though, that they don’t have any screencasts or even screenshots. But take a look at that feature list:

Screen Capture:
– Captures & records on-screen actions
– Highlight key points using a fixed, smooth, auto panning, or scrolling camera
– Change cameras live during capture
– Record with date & time
– Record with audio, or add voice-overs & music
– Control the size & frame rate of your movie capture
– Splice multiple segments into one full length movie
– Add transitions for a smooth project flow
– Supports all popular movie & audio formats

Video Editing:
– Select any spot in your Action History to revert your project to that point
– Special effects & filters make your project a “big budget” production
– Widescreen & Fullscreen movie settings
– Add text, captions & credit effects
– Audio scrubber & mixer
– Loop & repeat options
– Paint & Draw directly on your frames
– Group & ungroup your project clips

I’ll probably have to give it a try one of these days, but it will be hard to convince me to move away from ScreenFlow.

Does anyone doubt that at some point soon Congress is going to pass a bailout? Sure, they didn’t pass the bailout yesterday but another bill will come along to take its place. In the meantime, stocks fell between 5 and 10% depending on the index you are looking at. It seems likely to me that Wall Street is going to come roaring right back just as soon as the bailout bill passes. What do you think? Is a 5% return over one week a pretty good deal?

Update: It’s not really surprising that people are back to buying today after yesterday’s massive selloff.
