Excel at Screen Recording and Video Editing with TechSmith Camtasia Training

TechSmith Camtasia Training Course Melbourne

TechSmith Camtasia Training when you need it

Techsmith Camtasia’s basic function is to record video of your computer’s screen or a portion of the screen. It is primarily used for creating video tutorials and presentations. The screen area to be recorded can be selected, and audio or other multimedia recordings can be recorded at the same time. They can also be added separately from other sources and then integrated into the video.

Camtasia has a huge variety of post-processing tools targeted at the educational and information development marketplace. The two main components of Camtasia are the Camtasia Recorder and the Camtasia editor. The first is used to capture screen audio and video, the second contains a timeline interface for managing your recorded clips and enhancements.

TechSmith Camtasia FAQ's Frequently Asked Questions

TechSmith Camtasia FAQ's

Camtasia is frequently used for creating video tutorials and presentations. These are created directly via screencast, or by using a direct recording plug-in to Microsoft PowerPoint.

The user’s screen can be recorded, and audio can either be recorded at the same time or added separately from any other source and integrated.

Camtasia started out as a screen capture application but it has since evolved to integrate screen capture and post-processing tools targeted at both the educational and information multimedia development marketplace.

Key features of Camtasia:

  • Screen Capture
  • Behaviours – allow you to apply animations to text, images or icons
  • Animated backgrounds, icons and music tracks
  • Motion graphics, including lower thirds and intro slides
  • Cross-platform collaboration to work with both Mac and Windows

These are just some of the features available in Camtasia, but of course, there are many more.

Have you ever wondered why the Dummies books are so popular? Well, it’s probably because so many of us are self-taught, using Google to find out how to use a function, or we are shown how to use software by someone at work.

Although this can be useful, it also means we tend to spend a lot of time with trial and error, or we are just picking up somebody else’s bad habits.

Trial and error, unfortunately, involves a lot of error, and the bad habits you pick up will probably be passed on to the next person, so soon they spread across the business, meaning entire teams can end up working inefficiently.

At this point, you might head to the bookstore or do an online search to find a Camtasia book to help solve some of those tricky issues.

That’s a step in the right direction, and we sometimes use reference manuals ourselves. The problem is that trying to learn by trial and error may cost you many times the cost of a good training course.

Our Camtasia courses are designed to target the key features and tools included in the various applications to help you get back to work and apply them right away.

Attending a TechSmith Camtasia course with Keystroke Learning will show you how to use the most efficient methods to achieve your daily tasks. Not only that, but you will discover best practices and shortcuts to make your business tasks even quicker, so you can get on with your day. Our goal is to help you get to the point where you are focussed on the task at hand rather than the tool you are using.

Typically, one of our experienced trainers will walk you through the features and functions of the software, then you will try them out on your own, with tips and guidance on getting the best out of the features. We also encourage participants to ask lots of questions to help you get the most out of your learning experience.”

You’ll receive a manual to take away at the end of the course, as well as exercise files so you can practice later, or just to jog your memory when you need it.

Camtasia can do all three at once. You just need to make sure that your screen region is selected.

Then check that both your built-in audio and your system audio options are selected. Once this is done, you can record all three at the same time.

Sure you can! Open the quiz view bar on your timeline. (Keyboard shortcut – Q).

In the quiz menu, add a name for your quiz and your questions and answers. Click the add button for more questions.

Customise your question type (Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blank, Short Answer, True/False).

Once you are done, select one of the Produce and Share options with the interactive capabilities you need for the quiz.
Choose your export options and how you want to record your results. (SCORM for your LMS is a good choice).

Save your production and you are ready to go.

When the quiz point comes up in your production, the Quiz option pops up at the bottom of the player.

Once you have created your video course, click on the Share – Local File. Place a title in the Export as and choose Export to MP4 as the file format. Ensure that the Include Quiz and Include SCORM boxes are checked.

Click on the Options button beside include SCORM and fill out Title, Description and Subject details needed.

Select the version of SCORM, then set your passing score and completion requirements.

For example, you can set a passing score of 75%, so that the learner must get 75% of questions correct to pass, and a percentage required of 100%, meaning that the entire video must be viewed.

Return to the previous screen and click Export. Camtasia will export a Zip folder that can then be uploaded to your LMS.

If you want to link to a website from your video or allow viewers to replay or skip certain sections, then an interactive hotspot is exactly what you need. 

Interactive hotspots can direct viewers to different sections of your video, give them replay options, or launch a website.

A hotspot is an effect, so it must be applied to an asset already added to the timeline.

Click and drag the Interactive Hotspot effect from the Video FX tab onto the timeline or canvas to the media clip, shape, callout, or text annotation you need to set.

With the asset containing the hotspot selected on your timeline, open the properties panel and edit the Interactive Hotspot section. When entering a URL or Time, don’t forget to press Enter to commit the changes. Several options are available:

  • Pause at the end: The user must click the hotspot to continue viewing the video
  • URL: Opens a web page when clicked
  • Marker: The video jumps to a marker in the video
  • Time: The video jumps to a specific frame
  • Click to continue: The user must click the callout to continue viewing the video

Your learning doesn’t stop once you have completed your course. We hope you will continue your experience by taking some time to practice what you have learned and apply it to your own situation and environment.

If we have done our job well, you may be inspired to learn even more by attending another course. If you are looking for something other than TechSmith Camtasia, we have a comprehensive range of courses available for you to choose from.

Keystroke Learning - Learning Methods - Self Paced Assisted Learning

Self Paced Assisted Learning

Self Paced Assisted Learning combines the best of independent learning with the best of trainer assisted learning.

This unique approach to learning works as follows:

Each participant is provided with a training manual for a given application and level, and they work through a series of exercises.

If they get stuck or don’t understand a concept, the trainer is immediately available to help them understand the issue at hand and to give examples of how to implement the feature or application.

It is not uncommon to see one person working on an Excel Advanced manual while the person beside them is doing a Word Introduction, and another is working on something else.

Active Monitoring

The role of the trainer in the Self Paced environment is quite different to their role in a typical classroom. Even when each participant is working well unassisted, the trainer will be actively monitoring their progress, providing feedback and encouragement as well as fine-tuning the learning process. There is usually little time to “take it easy” as the trainer works to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of learning.

Personalised Learning

Self Paced Assisted Learning is very personalised, with the interactions generally being around individuals and small groups.

These sessions can be broken into 1.5-hour blocks of time, allowing up to 4 sessions in a day, thus allowing a larger number of people to attend for shorter time periods.

Keystroke Learning - Learning Methods - Seminar Training

Seminar Training

Is your team lost in the tech wilderness, sending smoke signals for help?

Let’s face it, expecting your staff to “figure it out” on their own is a recipe for chaos, confusion, and probably a few broken keyboards. Relying on this approach is like using “password123” for your bank account, technically possible, but you’re just asking for trouble.

Keystroke Learning - Learning Methods - Roving Training

Roving Training

Roving Training brings expert facilitators directly to your workspace, either in-person or virtually, to address specific training needs.

Looking for training that’s as unique as your team? You might stumble upon a few buzzwords like “Roving Training”, “On-Demand Training”, “Floor Walking”, “Corporate Trubleshooting”, “Floater”, or “Roaming Training Services”.

Basically, they’re all just fancy ways of saying, “On-the-spot instruction tailored to specific needs”.

Roving Training is a 1 on 1 or very small group training session which is generally scheduled for short timeframe on a specific subject. 

Typically, these training sessions are structured by allocating time slots/appointments with individuals. The topics covered throughout the session do not have to be at the same level or software package.

Roving Training offers the benefit of immediate, hands-on support right where and when it’s needed, ensuring that learning is directly applicable and highly relevant to real-time challenges.

How Roving Training Works

In this example, Sarah, the office superhero has scheduled blocks of time for her colleagues. For instance, James is scheduled at 9:30am for half an hour to work on Pivot Tables. After James gets his Excel fix, the trainer visits Ellen at 10:00am for an hour to help solve a problem she is having with Photoshop. The trainer then continues visiting each person in the schedule, addressing their individual requirements.

Sarah also handles training during software upgrades and rollouts with one of our nifty tactics called floor walking. This involves the trainer roaming around the office to provide instant, on-the-spot support for any tech hiccups.

It’s like having a tech wizard who appears out of nowhere when you need them the most, no magic wand required, just a trainer with lots of expertise and a friendly smile!

Full Day Sessions

Think of it as an intellectual day spa, with plenty of time to soak in each concept, from the fundamentals to the fine points. Your brain cells will thank you for the pampering!

With a full day dedicated to learning, participants can engage in extensive hands-on activities, workshops, and real-world applications.

You’ll have ample opportunity to tackle complex problems, ask questions, and even share a laugh or two as you work through exercises.

A standard training course takes around 6 hours, plus scheduled breaks to ensure everyone stays refreshed and ready to absorb more. We promise not to make you do jumping jacks during these breaks… unless you really want to.

The start time of the training is completely negotiable, but typically, the training time slot will be 9:00am – 4:00pm.

This turns the training day into an enjoyable and productive fun run rather than a sprint. Don’t worry, the only medals awarded will be for “Most Enthusiastic Learner”

Half Day Sessions

Half-Day Group Training Sessions offer a focused exploration of your chosen subject, providing a compact yet impactful experience that’s ideal for teams looking to dive into topics efficiently.

Think of it as an intellectual boost, with a concentrated dose of knowledge that’ll leave your brain feeling refreshed and invigorated. It’s like a shot of espresso for your mind, minus the jitters!

In this condensed learning sprint, participants engage in targeted hands-on activities, workshops, and real-world applications. It’s a mental obstacle course designed to challenge and stimulate without being overwhelming.

You’ll have the chance to tackle key problems, ask burning questions, and maybe even crack a few witty one-liners as you zip through exercises. After all, who said learning can’t be snappy and snazzy?

A standard training course takes around 3 hours to complete, which includes a short break at the halfway point. Don’t worry, we won’t make you solve riddles to earn your break—unless that’s part of the training, of course!

The start time of the training is completely negotiable but typically, the training time slot will either be 9:00 am – 12:00 pm or 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm. Whether you’re an early bird or a post-lunch learner, we’ve got you covered.

Off the Shelf Courses

Off-the-Shelf Training is like walking into a bookstore and picking out the perfect novel, it’s ready to go and has been vetted for quality.

These pre-designed courses are packed with tried-and-tested content, so you can dive right into learning without any fuss.

Whether you’re tackling Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Cloud, or any other major software, these courses are designed to cover the essentials with a dash of flair.

Just as how you wouldn’t need to re-write a bestselling novel, you don’t need to re-invent the wheel with these training options.

They’re perfect for when you want solid, no-nonsense learning that’s ready when you are.

Customised Training

Customised Training is the tailor-made suit of the training world.

Think of it as the Gucci suit of the learning world — bespoke, fitted, and perfectly aligned with what you need.

It’s all about designing a training experience that’s as unique as your organisation.

Just like a custom suit is made to fit every curve and seam, customised training is crafted to address specific challenges, industry nuances, and skill gaps within your team.

Our training is modular, so you can mix and match like a fashionista, choosing from a selection of existing topics, or we can work with you to develop something specific to your organisation. Either way, we are on hand for advice on the best way to structure your customised training course.
