Screen Recording: Create Video Tutorials using Camtasia
PrerequisitesNew


Description

Want to know how to create online dynamic tutorials, how-tos, faqs and many more? This course is for you. Using Camtasia Studio v 7 you will record your onscreen activities or presentation, edit into a polished video, and be shown how to publish it to the web.

You will learn how to capture audio while you are recording - or add narration and music later. Learn how to cut out the sections of your video that you don’t want and rearrange the sections that you do. Add, cut, splice, join and move sections of video or audio until you have a finished screencast.

Although this course will be run on Windows, the skills learnt can be appled to the Mac version of Camtasia.
