Screen Recording: Create Video Tutorials using Camtasia

BeginnersPrerequisites

Want to know how to create online dynamic tutorials, how-tos, faqs and many more? Using Camtasia Studio you will record your onscreen activities or presentation, edit into a polished video, and be shown how to publish it to the web.

You will learn how to capture audio while you are recording - or add narration and music later. Learn how to cut out the sections of your video that you don’t want and rearrange the sections that you do. Add, cut, splice, join and move sections of video or audio until you have a finished screencast.

Learn how to upload and view your videos online in the Streaming Media Service
