(Ebook) Camtasia Succinctly by Jose Roberto Olivas Mendoza ISBN 9781642001259, 1642001252

This book is intended for everyone who wants to take advantage of Camtasia as a video tutorial-making tool. You don't need to be a developer or computer scientist, but you should have an idea about computers and the Windows operating system, including the concepts of files, file formats, and how the Windows filesystem works.
Also, every exercise discussed in this book requires a script file, which describes the actions to be performed in order to produce a video, along with the description of narrations that will be part of it, step by step. This script file will be written using Microsoft Word, so you should be familiar with this program, too.
The first chapter will introduce you to Camtasia by describing the application generally. Then, the second chapter will describe the installation process. The third will be dedicated to teaching the basics about the application and will give some suggestions for video recording.
Beginning with chapter 4, the book will explore all features needed in order to produce a video clip from the contents of the computer’s screen.
Camtasia 8 for Windows will be used for the purposes of the exercises discussed in this book, and all contents regarding the topics covered can be downloaded here. By the time you read this e-book, the current version of Camtasia could be different. However, Camtasia is a mature product, and you won't have any trouble following my explanations and figures.
