My perception on camtasia.

Camtasia and its benefits

Camtasia is a video recording and editing software, created and published by Tec Smith, for creating video tutorials and presentations. When sir assigned us to make a video tutorial on a specific topic, I was really tensed and worried, although sir introduced us on camtasia. I spared most of my time on learning and practicing camtasia from the day sir assigned us with a task to capture video. On 20^th/05/2019 I stayed in Lab recording and editing the video late night till security guard came to chase me out. As Camtasia is totally new to me, I had a tough time to come up with one finish video. But later I uploaded my tutorial on face book and almost all mates gave me positive comments despite few drawbacks. I really felt good and watched my own video several times and gained lots of satisfaction. I found making educative videos using Camtasia is really useful and effective in this 21^st pedagogy.

If we understand camtasia properly it is Simple, but full of features. We can record icon, record screen and webcam. We can also capture crisp video and audio from our desktop or record webcam to add a personal touch to our video. Camtasia gives us pre-made animations that are simple to customize. Effects add professionalism and polish to our videos with drag-and-drop functionality. We can also add music and sound effects. And Camtasia let us record and edit our audio clips to get the perfect audio for our video.

We can add quizzes and interactivity to encourage and measure learning in our videos. There are many other features to add on our video to attract the viewers. We can turn our presentation into a video which will turn any learning into fun. So I am going to use camtasia in my teaching in future and I urge other friends to use as well because it is really effective and powerful tool which we can use in our teaching. And I have uploaded my first video which is produced using camtasia below. Enjoy watching it.

Thank you.
