Camtasia question

greff · 08-28-2008, 01:16 PM

I've never tried to use Camtasia but I think I have reason to now.

So, what is the process exactly?

Do you use a digital camera to take the picture while you visit the sites?

How does this work? Is it relatively easy to operate?

That is what I did from 2001 to 2004 to capture powerpoint presentations to transfer to video...just record it seamlessly with video.

Now it's done with a recorder inside your computer that just captures the dimensions you want.

Camtasia has a tool called "Camtasia Recorder", you set up your microphone, so the
video has sound, you specify the dimensions on the screen you wish to record,
click the Record button, and this tool automatically records what ever you are
seeing on the screen.

No external video camera required, Camtasia does it all for you.

Yeah that's how they use to do it in 1992, LOL

Nah, just kidding....

Camtasia is really slick all you have to do is go to the page that you want record and open up Camtasia recorder and it will ask you what portion of the page you want record.

Actually no they'll ask you which area You want record, it could be your entire browser or computer desktop.

When you're done recording you could view what you recorded in the Camtasia player or you can edit the entire video and add sound and anything that you want such as overlays,pictures and graphics.

I just did my very 1st video (on my blog) with Camtasia......It took a little time to get to grips with the program and the file format to save it in for youtube.......but I finally got there.

I am currently in a 30 day trial of camtasia and find the more I use it, the easier it gets....trial and error. The features it offers are brilliant and i think I will be purchasing the full prog after the trial.

If you are not sure, just trial it out like me...I think it will be worth every penny.

Cheers,
Graham

Camtasia just like any other software program you have to learn and understand how to use it.

But I tell you what, you can easily earn the $300 that it cost to buy Camtasia just by using the free version.

Thanks!

One of the best ways to learn is to go to YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Type in "camtasia tutorial" into the search box and learn away :-)
