There are a number of different ways to make a video for "30onair". First off you just need to get video onto YouTube.com and this either involves:
1. Recording live using "Quick Capture" (webcam required) HERE.
2. Uploading a digital video file HERE.
Using "Quick Capture" is easy if you have a webcam and microphone (especially if you have a mac, it just works). "Quick Capture" uses Adobe Flash Player to capture video and record it directly onto YouTube.com. For quick video testimonials this is clearly the easiest route.
For uploaded videos, the options expand dramatically as YouTube supports the following video file formats for upload: .WMV, .AVI, .MOV, .MPG. Anyone that can create these files can contibute and these formats support the video record option on nearly all digital cameras. Yes the little Canon Elph can be used to record video for 30onair too.
The more interesting options show up when you look at screen capture/screen recording as these files are perfect for demoing applications you have made or projects think are great. There are a few nice screen recording tools out there:
Adobe Captivate
IShowU (MAC)
Camtasia Studio
ScreenFlow (MAC Leopard)
ScreenMimic
There are also a large class of software for Vlogging (Blogging in video). These allow you to integrate all sorts of sources to create a video containing mixed audio, effects, and many include a teleprompter.
Vlogit
Visual Communicator
iMovie
Also there are a ton of great professional video editing tools as well.
