Camtasia as Constructive Tool


Softwares in Virtual Presentations

As the educational institutions are closed around the nation in the wake of CoVID-19 pandemic, the academicians both the tutors and the students are left with no other options but to explore ways to continue the normal academic activities. Of course, the virtual classrooms and video conferencing are extensively used in the world more than ever.

For college student like me, specially the final year students, we feel that it's little injustice to complete the degree away from the institutions. However, life has come more value than even education itself, these days. To live has become more important and crucial than to educate. The world has suffered a lot with millions of jobs lost, tens of thousands of people died and millions infected. The economy of the countries falling all-time low. The situation is never getting better. 
As a student, we are compelled to explore ways to submit our assignments in time and with efficiency. We discussed various software. However, the best we have seen so far is a Camtasia.
Accordint to Wikipedia, Camtasia is a software suite, created and published by TechSmith, for creating video tutorials and presentations directly via screen cast We can also create videos directly by the recording plug-in to Microsoft PowerPoint

Camtasia Interface. 

It is one of the best screen recording and editing software. The screen area to be recorded can be chosen freely, and audio or other multimedia recordings may be recorded at the same time or added separately from any other source and integrated in the Camtasia. The interface is also one of the easiest to interpret; hence it is very user friendly. 

Camtasia consists of two major components:
·         Camtasia Recorder - a separate tool for capturing screen audio and video
·         Camtasia editor - here, we can edit the recordings. This is one of the best features of Camtasia as we can add any Medias or delete the error parts. We can also add effects and captions and even create timing of the appearance. 

Preparing Interactive Presentation in Camtasia
 

My Experience with this software, hauls me all the way back to the day I installed it as a trial. However, with the need to present the presentations virtually, I have seen that this software has taken my life by storm. I explored YouTube video tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1s5GWW4vlI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ6Ps24VLnI and many others. 


How can i use Camtasia in School?

Finally with much difficulties, I was able to create my own presentation recordings using Camtasia, which I then uploaded for submissions. This is one of the best experiences I had in the wake of CoVID 19. You are compelled to find other means for doing works and surviving.  I would like to recommend that this is one of the best interactive software where you can record and edit the the recordings according to one's desire. It is also one of the easiest video editing software available right now as it is easy to use and supports in any computer.  



Thank you!
