#4This is a cool idea. I do screenshot-tutorials all the time and this would ease the workflow. My only concern is that I would like to have control of the produced content as an export for my own blog/site.
I understand that's not financially favorable to you as a free service, but will it be part of the paid service?

yes - we will offer download package for you to put on your own server as a premium...but we do offer an embed functionality which should meet your needs..

#6I'm not a big fan of the outline you used to indicate the next action. When I saw your tutorial, I couldn't see where the Login button is because of the thick orange outline hovering the login button making it hard to the "login" button. It needs to be outside of the labels and it should be easier to see.
You should research for a different way to direct users there, the outline should be optional. Maybe an arrow or other type of animation.
Other than that, it looks great and I can't wait to see it mature. I'd love to use it!

#7I think people who hate screencasts would also be annoyed at the slow animations between each step. Is it just me, or are they more than a second long?

#8Pricing - Comming soon (should be Coming Soon) or ideally should be listed from the beginning ;)
A lot of the examples at the bottom seem to either be blank or break your webserver seeing a lot of

#9The instructional dialogue windows dominate the screen visually so it distracts the user from what's actually happening on the website. They won't know where to focus their eyes, and the amount of time it takes for them to orient themselves for each dialogue could make it more cumbersome than a "regular" screencast.

#10LOVE it.
I always hated screen casts. I prefer creating a Word or PDF document with annotated screenshots which user can go through at their own pace. One of the idea in my idea list was to make it easy to take screenshots and annotate them and create a polished PDF.
But what you have created is even better. It is highly interactive and user can follow the steps as they work on the actual application. Extremely well done. I think you should market the hell out of this. I think there are lot of buyers out there for this kind of software.
What kind of pricing are we looking at?
P.S.: Always great to see a team of Indians creating a software product, I wish you all the best. I hope you also become as successful as Visual Website Optimizer guys.
