Video Puppet - good for creating a narrated video from a PPT with speaker notes

 Another video creation tool I have recently tried and found useful for creating instructional videos is Video Puppet. If you have a ready-made PPT, all you need to do is to type in your speaker notes, and upload your PPT to Video Puppet.
