During QA process we usually need to describe a sequence of actions, that causes some bugs.

Usually the best way to do it is describe a situation by text messages. Sometimes screen-shots are helps. But i believe that video or slide-show should to help QA team and should to reduce time loss on QA-team - developers iterations.

Some time in our team(we have most of QA team in other city), we are use TeamView to describe significant situations. But it takes a lot of time to setup connection, and require to stop developer's work for show time. And if you have to show this bug to other developer, you should repeat this process again. Video cuts is good item for novice-developer, who can't to know new project fully. I think we can to find many pluses of this approach.

The minus of this approach is big size of describes.

Is there some tool, that allow to record an user screen actions into video or slide-show? Better if this tool will be free.

Good feature for this tool is "get slides of last 2 minutes". For example QA-engineer keeps it working in background, and try to do smth that cause a bug. QAE is believe that actions of last 1 minute cause a bug. If the tool will allow to save that 1 minute ago actions, it will be very useful.

CamStasia or CamStudio typically does pretty good at this.
