My First Experience With Camtasia

For those of you who don't know, Camtasia is a recording software that allows one to capture motion on a computer screen. There are many features including recording, editing, and publishing videos. This program allows you to record training videos as well as integrates PowerPoint presentations. At first glance, Camtasia may seem a bit overwhelming, but after reviewing the controls, proves to be easy and fluid. We first had to set up audio by specifying a microphone and then testing the audio so the software could normalize the voice. Simply press the record button to record and the stop button to stop recording. The feature that I liked most about the recording software is that you are able to select a portion of the screen to record. This allows you to move around outside the recording screen and can possibly make for less editing. I am looking forward to learning more about editing recorded videos and making seamless video training for OpenOffice.org Base. New for Camtasia 5 is a tool known as screencast.com, which allows bloggers to record video, post it, and blog about it instantly. My only real question is how many organizations utilize this software to support training needs?
