Using the Articulate Storyline Player to Add More Functionality to your Camtasia Training Course
Several years ago I created a training course in which I used Camtasia, PowerPoint and Storyline to get the features which my client required.

When I look back at my early work, I’m surprised I’ve lasted this long. A lot of the video courses and marketing videos I built years ago just weren’t very good. But that’s okay.

I’m often asked whether it makes sense to purchase the video course development tool, Articulate Storyline, vs. creating your training courses using the much less expensive tool, Camtasia Studio. I have used both tools for video training courses over the years but have decided to specialize in Camtasia because that is the tool that works […]

Why You May Need Your Own Video Player
When I first started creating video I never worried much about a player. It didn’t seem important. If I uploaded my video to YouTube and linked to it or embedded it on my blog I would use the YouTube player. If I created a video with Camtasia Studio and uploaded it to Screencast.com I would […]
