This functionality is where we make your videos into final products that will be streamed on YouTube or MediaSpace or played from a laptop locally.


The three basic functions of Camtasia are recording, editing, and sharing.īasic recording of your screen, audio, and video with your laptop webcam can all be active by opening Camtasia and clicking on the Record button in the upper left corner of the application. TechSmith has produced a series of tutorials called Getting Started with Camtasia 9 & 3 for both Mac and Windows that are effective for becoming familiar with this tool. Your professor has the necessary information for downloading and using this package of software. TechSmith offers both PC (Version 9) and Mac (Version 3)of Camtasia. Camtasia also includes a set of tools for editing your video, adding instructional and interactive elements such as callouts, transitions, and quizzes, adding audio tracks, Closed Captioning, and publishing your video in multiple formats, both locally and online (e.g., to YouTube or MediaSpace). You can also choose to record audio from both system output (i.e., what's coming out of your speakers) and microphone input (e.g., your narration of a PowerPoint slide show). Your movies include all mouse movements, pen, and keystrokes, any software application activity, and even web browsing activity. TechSmith's Camtasia is a software application that gets installed on your laptop that allows you to record your screen activity and save it in the form of a video.
