Techsmith Camtasia is a screen capture and video editing software specially designed for training and communication professionals. Camtasia can be used to create video tutorials, green-screen videos, to convert PowerPoint slideshows into videos, and much more. It's one of the most popular eLearning software package on the market. In this training course, you'll learn all about Camtasia's features, as well as a host of video editing tips and tricks that will turn you into an educational video pro.


During this two-day course, you'll work on two video projects. The first is a classic video tutorial, such as those available on the most popular video platforms.

Among other things, you'll discover how to capture your screen, edit your video, apply animations, transitions and other special effects, record high-quality audio narrations and produce MP4 files that you can share with your viewers via any of the many video-sharing platforms available on the Internet.

The course content mentioned below is based on the latest available version of Camtasia, but this training can be given on all versions (the course content is then adapted according to the chosen version).
