Today I am going to talk about my experience of
using Camtasia. I haven’t used Camtasia
in my previous years and didn’t hear the name forget about using it. Till now I
have been using window movie maker to edit videos. In this module, ICT in
teaching and learning, I was taken through how to use Camtasia which was
completely a new knowledge to me. I came to know
that through Camtasia, I can record video and edit video using Camtasia
features. Some of the features that aren’t there in the windows movie maker are
there in the Camtasia.
Camtasia consists of two major components:
·
Camtasia Recorder - a separate tool for capturing screen audio
and video
·
Camtasia editor
After using Camtasia studio, the differences I found is that Movie Maker has lack of effects. There are few pre-selected effects that we can apply to clips, such as giving a film old age looks or fading the clip in or out, but for the most part we are limited. Another limitation is the ability to save as different file types, where as in Camtasia we can capture video from our laptop screen. And it is very handy if we want to do some sort of video tutorial on our computer as it gives space to record the screen. Camtasia also creates and handles various file types such as animated GIF, Abode Flash, Window Media types, and MP3 audio.
How
did I learn to use Camtasia?
We were given an
assignment to make video tutorial. Therefore, I explored how to use camtasia
from the given video tutorial in VLE. I
watched the video samples several times to understand how to go with camtasia.
The lesson samples that sir uploaded was
very effective and it boots my confidence on using camtasia. I also watched
relevant videos from YouTube to get more ideas. After learning and exploring, I
practiced it in my laptop but it was not easy to applied my knowledge
practically, so i seek help from my friends, who already had the knowledge
about the camtasia.
I found that Camtasia is one of the most effective educational app for learners and the educators to impart the knowledge. This application help us to enhance both learning and teaching in a creative and interesting way. After uploading the video we were asked to comment on our friends video. It was another helpful ideas to improve ourselves. We can take their feedback and we can also give our our views on our friends video lesson. I personally found it very helpful as we could view our friends comment and we can learn and improve our video lesson.
