I prefer the Flash (.swf) format because of the excellent visual quality, the small file size, and the fact that 99% of Internet-enabled desktops in mature markets already have Flash Player installed. I then make edits and changes to my video and use the Flash export option to create a web page with an embedded video presentation. Using Windows Movie Maker and a Webcam to Create a VideoĪs evidenced by these examples, my own preference when using Camtasia is to capture a portion of my computer screen that is 640 x 480 pixels (or in some cases 720 x 480 pixels). Here are a few examples of projects I’ve created in recent years using Camtasia 4.0: Most of my Camtasia projects have been focused on teaching people how to use software tools like Moodle, WebCT, Elluminate, and (yes) even Camtasia itself. I’ll then provide some resources and commentary related to some applications that may serve as counterparts for the MAC. My discussion below will start with an overview of how I use Camtasia and what features have been most beneficial in my work. (Unfortunately, Camtasia Studio is only compatible with PCs.) My college may soon become a MAC institution, though, so I am currently attempting to find a Camtasia equivalent for the MAC.

(It sure beats explaining everything with text and screenshots.) Camtasia Studio has been my product of choice for creating screen-capture videos since 2003. As an instructional designer, who spends a lot of time creating technology tutorials and other online learning materials, it’s great to be able to record my on-screen activities, my voice, and even webcam video to create dynamic web-based video presentations. Using screen-recording software has been a godsend to me over the years.
