1-14 Camtasia n Record full-motion screen video with perfect quality n Include a variety of cursor highlights during recording n Edit, cut, and join video clips n Add digital video files (DV, MPEG, WMV) to your screen recordings n Add interactive Callouts, Zoom-n-Pan effects, Quizzes, Picture-in-Picture, and much more

1-15 Camtasia n Edit and add audio, including voice narration and music n Create a Web-based or CD-based menu from which to launch your video and other media files n Produce your final video in any popular file format n Your original Camtasia Studio screen recording is already optimized to give you the smallest video file n Size for screen content. In addition to selecting the desired file format during production

1-16 Key Advantages in Education n Camtasia compressed video can be delivered to students on CDs, Web servers, Blackboard & WebCT servers, or over the Web by such free large file senders as YouSendIT n Students can repeat lessons, especially technical lessons, over and over until they completely understand the procedure.

1-17 Key Advantages in Education n Class time can be devoted more to concepts and theory without having to delve into technical details of a procedure that student can study over and over again in your video explanations. n Instructors often master a technical procedure when preparing for a class that is difficult to remember in great detail when the class is taught in a subsequent semester. Sometimes I made videos just for myself to use when preparing for class next year.

1-18 Key Advantages in Education n Camtasia Flash videos can be interactive where other presentations and files can be brought up by students who click on “hot spots” while watching the videos. n Camtasia Flash videos can be used for giving quizzes and examinations where students choose or write in answers.

1-19 Key Advantages in Education n Podcasts can be created in Camtasia and saved to compressed mp3 files. n Vodcasts can be created in Camtasia studio and served up in video files. n Podcasts and Vodcasts can be served up in TechSmith’s Screencast utility. n Podcasts and Vodcasts can be used on iPods, PCs, or Macs.

1-20 Key Advantages in Education n Learning challenged students may overcome handicaps with Camtasia tutorials designed for their particular needs such as more audio for sight-impaired students and more video for hearing-impared students. n Videos can be transmitted to distant students such as those who missed class or missed technical learning meetings.

1-21 Key Advantages of Camtasia Students can click on different levels of technical explanation depending upon their needs. For example, accounting for interest rate swaps can be recorded in a Camtasia video for students who understand interest rate swaps. Example Students who do not understand interest rate swaps may first study a video for teaching the basics of interest rate swaps before they tackle the accounting video.

1-22 Key Drawbacks of Video n The number one drawback of video files is their size. It is very common for instructors who love Camtasia to quickly have an archive of course video files that greatly exceed the storage capacity allowed on a Web server and or a Blackboard/WebCT server. n If the video files of earlier lessons in the course have to be removed from a server to make way for current lessons, it defeats the purpose of having these videos available throughout the course for student study and review, particularly for term projects and major examinations.

1-23 Key Drawbacks of Video n In the Camtasia video Recorder, video is first captured in generally enormous AVI uncompressed video files that are virtually impossible to store on a server. n It is also possible produce audio-only WAV files that are compressed into MP3 or Ipod/iTunes reduced size files in Camtasia Producer software.

1-24 Producer Video Compression Options After editing the AVI file with fades, volume adjustment, transitions, deletion of unwanted segments, splitting of clips, and possible merging of multiple clips, the AVI file must then be compressed using Producer software into one or more common compressed video files: WMV compression for Windows Media Players MOV compression for Quicktime Players SCF compression for Adobe Flash Players RM compression for Real Media Players iPod/iTunes compression for Vodcasting CAMV for Real Player Streaming Media

1-25 Comparisons of Video Compressions AVI File Size WMV/SWF Size Run Time 106,095 KB avi 5,928 KB wmv minutes 319,904 KB avi 29,586 KB wmv minutes 162,745 KB avi 22,228 KB swf minutes 25,315 KB avi 4,766 KB wmv minutes All the above videos have identical (default) frame rates. Size vs. Runtime varies with the size of the floating (panning) region capture rectangle used when recording the video.

1-26 Storing and Sending Video n Typically Web and/or Blackboard servers do not grant enough space to serve up lots of course video, although quite a lot of audio might be served up for stuents. n CDs and DVDs provide cheap storage n How to send large files across the Internet Local Link ---..\..\Bookbob4.htm

1-29 Interactive Software Requires SWF If instructors want to add hot spots to video that allows or requires students to interact with the video such as hitting Web links, answering questions, navigation to some other spot on the video, etc., only compressing of WAV files into Adobe SWF flash files is allowed in Camtasia Producer.

1-30 How to Download PC Videos to TV Giant screen TV sets are better than computer screens for viewing video, including course content video recorded by instructors using such capturing software as Camtasia. As we increasingly download video files or capture streaming video on the Web into video files, it is possible to transfer those files to a DVD disk for playback on other computers and TV sets with DVD players. However, is it possible to transfer files to TV in one step without having to make DVD disks? See Local Link ---..\..\Bookbob4.htm..\..\Bookbob4.htm
