I'm looking for a simple free tool to capture a video of me animating a machine on screen in solidworks. I don't need to record sound or anything fancy. I know I can do this in solidworks but I need something fast to show prototypes, easy to share and email or place in onenote. Anyone have any ideas?
thanks.

This works well for small video. It might fit your needs.

I use Powerpoint.
Go to Insert>Screen recording. You can select an area of your screen to record, and then save it to a media file later.

I use
https://www.flashbackrecorder.com/express/ for all my screen capture videos. As is usually the case they have a free version and "Pro" version that costs money. The free version has everything you need to capture basic screen video though.
