Lance,
Alice 2.2 will have basic movie making support, allowing you to record your worlds to video.
Alice 3 should also have this movie making support; hopefully we will also create a much better web plugin to allow interactive worlds inside a web browser.
As for creating a standalone, self contained world that will run without an Alice installation, I don't want to speculate. I will pass this along to Dennis and see if he has a better idea whether or not this will be possible.
If you are still interested in Camtasia, it is a pretty good piece of software that is great for screen capture, Alice or otherwise. If you are ordering as part of a school, definitely check out journeyed.com. They offer heavily discounted software for education. It's where I buy all of our software whenever our school doesn't already have a special license.
