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.

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