What is & How to Use Camtasia Studio 7.1
Review the uses of Camtasia studio 7.1 software.
Camtasia studio is a type of image capture software used for making videos or slideshows. The most prominent feature of Camtasia Studio is the ability for computer screen recording.
With the click of the record button, every movement on your screen will be recorded from typing, to mouse cursor movements, to opening and closing Internet windows.
You can also select a section of the screen to record. This is nice if you want to eliminate distractions such as icons or your “favorites” menu.
Use Camtasia Studio 7.1 to:
- Convert PowerPoint slides into video presentations
- Make business presentations or tutorials for your company
Camtasia is ready to use upon installation. You can immediately:
- Record actions on your computer screen – which will show up in a timeline
- Drop in images into this timeline (if desired)
- Add audio to the timeline by importing music or an audio file
Camtasia Enhancements – Better Together
Camtasia becomes even better if you happen to have these additional items:
- A microphone: If you have a microphone on your computer, you can also add your voice when recording screen actions.
- Webcam: If you have a web camera, not only will you be able to record your voice in your videos, but you can use Camtasia’s Picture-in-Picture option to overlay your image into the video. (Think of an instructor in a one by one inch corner of a video, providing instructions to click here, copy and paste this, and so forth.)
- PowerPoint Software: If you own PowerPoint, you can import your PowerPoint Presentations directly into Camtasia
