How I have learnt my Camtasia Studio.
What is camtasia?
Camtasia studio is two products in one, the screen recorder and video maker and editor. It is capable of creating powerful, interactive,professional video that can be used for a wide range of educational purposes. Camtasia Studio is a software suite, it is published by TechSmith. It is used for creating video tutorial and presentation directly through the screen-cast or through direct recording. More over, it can be used in making YouTube videos, educational presentation, marketing projects and sales presentations. It is easy to use by everyone as the program provides users to create, edit, or record videos according to their plan and ideas.
How did I learn Camtasia?
Under this topic, we were given an assignment to make video tutorial lesson. Therefore, I explored through video tutorial provided by our tutor in VLE. I even watched some sample of video tutorial lesson provided by our mentor in VLE: I got help from my friends, who already had the knowledge about how to use camtasia and tried to explore my own as well. I watched relevant video in You Tube to boot my confidence on using camtasia and editing videos. After learning ans exploring, I practiced it in my laptop for several times before making a video lesson. I applied my knowledge how to do audio recording along with webcam on and presentation in full-screen before getting my final product. Several trials was given then only I could made my video.This the link that I have referred to learn camtasia software:

What I have learnt from Camtasia?
I learnt that Camtasia is most effective and productive software that we can use in our teaching and learning. Through the use of Camtasia we can make a powerful lesson plan through videos, power-point presentation or audio records. More over, I learnt that screen- casting has emerged as a prominent teaching tool in internet as screen- casting has lots of advantages like teacher can explain step by step, explain lengthy concepts through simple and effective video with narration and teacher can make his or her lesson precise and an concise.
Whereas, students can watch a screen-cast video anytime, anywhere and have complete control over lesson which means students can review any part of lesson they want. They can even download and keep the screen casting for later reference. Therefore, camtasia studio is a powerful tool for students as well.
How did I use the process of Camtasia to get the final product?
First I prepared PowerPoint presentation on "occupation" for class one, subject was English. Then, I opened camtasia, clicked on record button on the left top corner. It gives a dialog box which say full screen, customize screen and record red button. I clicked on full screen and did make my PowerPoint in slideshow and put my webcam on.Then I clicked on record button which alerts us to be ready for recording. I went on recording until my slides came to an end. Then Clicked on F10 to stop recording. After recording was done, I added music and trimmed the error. Despite to many mistakes I was able to make a video; then to get final product I clicked on "produce and share" option. I gave the file name as "video lesson for occupation" and saved the video on Desktop. Finally I clicked on finished button after completing my project to 100%.
It was a great time learning and producing a video lesson.
That is all about how I learnt to make video using Camtasia software.
