What softwares can I use if I wasn't to record a hands-on tutorial about Photoshop without using a webcam or video camera? Is there something like a "video screenshot?"
Recording a “Video Screenshot” turorial
Hi Luigi,
Yes, there is a software used for video recording on your desktop or we can also call it a screen recorder.
The common use of this software is to create and provide demo videos or the same purpose as yours, as a tutorial.
There are several software's to choose from:
Debut Video Capture Software
This software can record from webcam, from eternal devices, from the computer screen and streaming video.
CamStudio Free Streaming Video Software
Fraps Real time video capture and benchmarking
Screenshot Captor
FastStone Capture
Some softwares are free and some needs to be purchase.
If you are not going to use this for job related purpose, then you can just use a Freeware.

Recording a “Video Screenshot” turorial
Yes, there are software available on the internet that you can use to record a video tutorial on your computer without using any camera. They are called screen recorders but unfortunately, most of them are not free. Like this one, Bandicam.
This is the best screen recorder I found so far that can record everything on your screen without slowing much your computer’s performance as you do the recording. I use this when recording a game session. It supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10 both 32-bit and 64-bit. You can download and use it for free since it is a shareware program.
The downside of using the unlicensed version is that you get only ten minutes (10) of recording time and your video gets a watermark. To record without the watermark and to remove the 10-minute recording limit, you need to buy it. The Bandicam registration policy is “1 PC – 1 license”. You can’t register 1 license on two computers because your license key will be blocked.
Registering your copy requires internet connection. Go to Bandicam Purchase for the pricing. Another best screen recorder is Fraps. This is the best screen recorder for gaming because it can do screen recording seamlessly without seeing a slight lag on the computer’s performance. Unfortunately, the one thing I don’t like about this program is the size of the output file.
It creates a very big file unlike with Bandicam. Several minutes of recording will end you up with several GB’s of file size.
