Course Overview

We offer Camtasia on a private course basis. This course is not available as a public scheduled event.

Camtasia is a popular screen recording and video editing software application that allows users to create professional videos and tutorials. Videos can be imported or captured from the screen, then text and other media can be added. All of which can be enhanced with a range of effects and animations.

A Camtasia project can then be published in various formats, including SCORM compliant e-learning which can be uploaded to a Learning Management System.

This course is designed to cover every aspect of Camtasia, taking the delegate from the very basics of video creation through to adding text, images, audio and other media. To editing and finally publishing in the many output formats available.

Along the way, topics such as quizzes and screen captures are covered. Everything needed to create professional videos and tutorials.
