What is Camtasia? Prior to a session in SCU’s library with my critical thinking and writing class, I honestly had no idea what this program was. At first I predicted it was a computer arts program, but to my surprise it was actually a movie editing program.
I have created many videos using movie editing programs: iMovie is my favorite and most used by far. And with learning about Camtasia, I started to get nervous as the possibility that my dedication to iMovie was now subject to change.
Trying Camtasia was intimidating because I honestly dislike change. Change presents so many different variables and some of these curveballs may not even be known to you. For myself, in particular, I fear any change regarding technology. I had to change phones from the classic flip phones that took forever to send a text message, to an iPhone which was quite the scare. So this change from iMovie to Camtasia was hard to accept.
To my surprise, transitioning from iMovie to Camtasia was one of the best changes I have ever made!
The tutorial at the library was very easy to understand and provided me with the necessary tools to create the basic Camtasia video. Here’s mine! Check it out 🙂
I hope you enjoyed it because if you couldn’t tell, I really do enjoy Camtasia now. There are so many more options that are simple and effective in creating a fun video! Really, the change from iMovie to Camtasia was completely positive for me.
Camtasia is the coolest new thing!
