What about previews showing only the screencapture, minus the audio, video, and click/keypress visuals?

Showing Silverback around the office today as a potentially valuable addition to our process the export delay was a significant hurdle to acceptance - the "tester" would click around, like the idea, we'd chat a bit about the value of UI testing, but then have other things to do and walk away before the video finished exporting. In other words, they walked away unimpressed.

The full value comes from combining streams, but there is also value in just a quick and partial preview. I often work from coffeeshops and would love to do some "guerrilla testing", but also be able to quickly play back a tester's experience in front of them so we can talk about how it went. A combined audio/video/screencast view isn't required for that, even displaying mouseclicks and key combos is unnecessary in that situation.

That said, this is still going to change the way I do testing, and if I can't get the office to throw in a few bills it's worth me buying on my own.
