Up to this point, all of the IM Survival Kit necessities have either been online, or cross-platform (in the case of software.)
All of them are free, and the software solutions are even open source (of which I am a HUGE advocate of.)
However, when it comes to non-linear video editors (NLE's) and video screen capture solutions, there is no convenient crossplatform solution.
So before I present to you what I have found to be the ultimate solution, please bear in mind that I was a Windows user for over 15 years (3.x through Vista) and a Mac user for nearly two years (OS X/Leopard.)
Which is to say that I am not about to go through all of the dozens of “free” solutions for Windows, and virtually none for Mac (particularly when it comes to video screen capture.)
Insofar as stock out-of-the-box NLE's go, Mac's got Windows beat by a mile even despite the fact that the stock iMovie was actually crippleware. Win Movie Maker is a complete joke, and just plain stinks.
However, in both cases, I was looking at shelling out some serious cash for anything even halfway decent (such as Premiere, Sony Vegas Pro, or Final Cut.)
As for video screen capture (with Win XP, at least), CamStudio Pro worked reasonably well. When I got to Vista however, not even. With Mac there just was no suitable (free) video screen capture to be found, period.
It was this, heaped on top of a whole bunch of other issues that ultimately drove me one way straight into the loving arms of Linux. And though it seemed not so initially, it was the absolute best computer decision I have ever made.
