Did you know Quicktime X (with Snow Leopard) now lets you do screencasts and trim video?

Open Quicktime and go to File > New Screen Recording and use the pulldown menu (the little arrow) to select your settings and save destination.

You may also send your screencast to YouTube by going to Share > YouTube…

Start making those tutorials by recording what happens on your video screen! Don’t have Quicktime X? Try these other options for screen recording and capturing.

ScreenToaster – Free Online Screen Recorder! Use it to create tutorial videos or anything else that interests you and your screen.

• Register & use it anywhere anytime
  Make screencasts / tutorials / demos / high-scores show-offs…
• Record your screen in one click
  No download. Compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux.
• Share videos on the Internet in Flash
  Embed them on blogs/webpages or send them by email.

It’s in beta mode. Of course, you may also use Jing, which is also free. If you want something more powerful with editing and effect possibilites, I highly recommend Screenflow (99USD – Mac only).
