Learning to use Camtasia (by TechSmith) – a great way to record my desktop!

I just downloaded Camtasia for both Mac and Windows.  I happened to be on my Mac when a student emailed me with a homework question, so I thought I would respond and try out Camtasia for Mac at the same time!   Here is the result.

I still need to learn to edit the video and add cool comments and arrows and all the other great stuff I “know” Camtasia can do.   But I am willing to go ahead and share my very first screencast with you to show you how easy it is to get started!

Here is the link:   http://www.screencast.com/t/MjQzMTA5ZGQt

I finally have my OWN domain so that now I CAN embed Flash!  * added May 10,2010

    Sue,

    When you go to “Share” your recorded screencast use the Advanced Export option in Camtasia Studio and export to QuickTime which will output a .mov file. You should be able to then “embed” the Quicktime movie format into your blog. The file that is linked to is a Flash Video format which is probably NOT supported by WordPress.

    Doesn’t Camtasia Studio ROCK? I am so glad that they finally brought it to the Mac. Also try SNAGIT for screen captures where you can easily annotate the results after you do the screen capture.

    Just my $.02.

      Thanks for the info Diana! That was the first time I have ever used Camtasia. It will be wonderful! especially after I figure out the annotating and editing features!
