Here is what I want to do
I open google earth. Zoom in or pan. As I zoom or pan I want to record these and place the clip in video studio.
How do I do it

You need a specialist screen capture program like this:

Or you can simply capture the still image, then use the Pan & Zoom filter after you've imported it into VS.

Well of course you could do that but the method has nothing going for it Black Lab apart from being fast, efficient, effective, simple and most likely achieving the end result perfectly.

You're right. Darn.

I did some tests and Camtasia Studio worked in OpenGL Mode.
There might be copyright issues involved though because Google Earth has a Pro Version which you have to pay for, the pro version includes a module for creating avi files.

You could do something similar by getting hold of maps from somewhere - either off the internet, a software program or even using your scanner.
Then like Black lab suggested use pan and zoom.

Here is one I did previously.
Video: Google Earth.
Another method is this
