Learn to use Camtasia Studio 3!

Camtasia Studio 3 is one of those delightful products that help allow us to create our own products in turn, and has quick become one of the more popular programs used to create professional-looking video tutorials. With a bit of time and effort, as well as some resources to teach you how, you could be churning out your own sleek video tutorials in practically no time.

As with most any application, Camtasia has its basic features, and more advanced features. On the basic side, there are things like capturing video, converting video, and converting audio. All these aspects are essential to even starting to put together a video tutorial and you should be familiar with the ins and outs of them before beginning.

Here’s a look at some of the topics that can help produce better looking tutorials:

1. Titles: Titles lend a more organized look to any tutorial, thus guiding your audience through it. They can be used either as section markers, by sort of dividing video tutorials into chapters, or may simply be occasional pointers inserted in the tutorial.
2. Transitions: Transitions are the way in which any two shots are joined together, and knowing how to play with them can help make more attractive clips. Proper use of transitions will allow tutorials to flow smoothly and blend well with both the shots that are joined.
3. Playing with quality and file size: Better quality makes for larger file size. Therefore it is crucial to find the right balance between the video quality and its file size. If a file is too large, then it would take up a lot of bandwidth and download slowly. However if the file is too small and the quality too low, the contents of the tutorial may not be seen clearly.
4. Adding Music: Despite the fact that sometimes music is ill-advised for tutorials, it is really all very situational. A good piece of soft music that does not affect anyone’s ability to hear the voice on the tutorial can’t hurt. Also, if there are sections when there is no voice in the background, then adding soft music would reduce the ‘blank’ feeling that the absence of any sound sometimes gives.

With so many types of techniques to help create better tutorials, it really can be hard to find a resource that offers complete instructions.
