Video Match Made in Heaven

There are a lot of great tools within Camtasia and you don’t really have to have other software. However, using PowerPoint together with Camtasia can be a match made in heaven.

Powerpoint has a lot of great features that will help your videos stand out, such as animation, transitions, themes and design tools. This program will also help you organize your script and then turn this into slides.

You can create slides in PowerPoint and then marry them to screencasts that you have recorded in Camtasia. This way you can explain or give an overview and then show the details. The process is basically as follows:

• Record screencasts
• Create a presentation in PowerPoint
• Choose template or create your own
• Build slide outline and then slide deck
• Format your presentation, add transitions  and animations if desired
• Record presentation
• Open recording in Camtasia
• Split presentation where you want to add screecast recordings
• Drop screencasts into timeline where you want them

We have a detailed video clip from one of our weekly Q&A sessions that will show how this process works.

Try it for yourself and your screencasts will live happily ever after!
