  • Converting a Powerpoint Presentation Into a Camtasia Studio Audio and Video Presentation
    Converting a PowerPoint presentation into a Camtasia Studio Audio and Video presentation Converting a PowerPoint presentation into a Camtasia Studio Audio and Video presentation Introduction This guide suggests the best (most versatile) method for using Camtasia Studio to capture a PowerPoint presentation with an accompanying audio soundtrack. This is not the only way PowerPoint presentations may be captured by Camtasia Studio and it does require some specialist software, but it will allow presentations to be edited and updated more easily in the future. The Concept There are two ways to capture a PowerPoint presentation: 1) Run the PowerPoint presentation from start to finish in one go, recording the audio sound track as a oner at the same time. Pros – Provides a more natural feel to the presentation, ensures constant audio input levels. Cons – Entire presentation needs to be recorded in one go (although ‘errors’ in speech or clicks between slides may be edited out after the event), makes editing the presentation after the event (for example to update one slide) more fiddly. 2) Record the audio for each slide individually, make screen captures of the individual slides and then bring the two together on the timeline in Camtasia Studio. Pros – Makes updating the presentation later much easier as individual slides/sections of audio may be edited, removed or reordered. Cons – Requires the manipulation of multiple files, slide animation will not be captured. For presentations where the slides are mostly text (and are without animation) the advantages of the second method are considered to be such that this is the recommended approach.
