Ask Hn: How to create an iPhone App demo video?

from the self-post dept.

I'd like to create a demo video of an iPhone app (and mobile optimized web app) like the one at http://www.jqtouch.com/. I've just been taking video of the iPhone simulator, but it doesn't shows a mouse instead of a user's finger.

Anyone know if there is a good way to make that sort of demo video?

Check this out: http://github.com/atebits/SimFinger

I have used SimFinger and SnapzPro to record the screencast. I didn't have access to Adobe Premiere, so I used Keynote to add the titles. I created a slideshow the way I wanted it and then recorded it with Keynote's built in recorder.

Unfortunately I can't show you the result yet but it's almost identical to the style Apple uses.

I wrote a freebie app that gives you a simulated finger: http://www.wonderwarp.com/phonefinger/
