Camtasia Studio is one of the most popularly recommended video editing software programs. For what it is, Camtasia is a great program BUT (and this is a very BIG BUT) it is absolutely NOT the right software for most video editing projects. To hear some people recommend it though, you sure would get the impression that it is the be-all and end-all for video editing.

It’s NOT.

A question from a reader the other day really drove this home. He is in the cooking niche and he wanted to produce a cooking show, kind of like Emeril. He bought a bunch of video equipment, including Camtasia for editing. Problem is, for him, Camtasia is essentially worthless.

Why?

Camtasia is designed to make screen capture videos. This means that the main function of the software is the ability to record whatever is on your computer screen. For more details www.software-designers-pro.com.Let’s say you want to make a video tutorial about how to use a computer application. Camtasia will allow you to record screen shots of the application when it is open on your computer. You can demonstrate how the software works using these screen shots. You can add audio, transitions and titles.

Camtasia is also good for making videos out of Power Point slides.

But my friend who wanted to edit his cooking show was out of luck because Camtasia is NOT designed to edit an entire show out of nothing but video you shoot with a regular video camcorder.

You can add a little bit of camera video to a Camtasia production, but it is recommended that you use that video as a small inset, a picture-in-picture (PIP) display. In this way, the camera video is designed to be an adjunct to the screen capture video. The screen capture video (or power point video) makes up the bulk of your show.

If you want to make a show out of video you shoot with a standard video camcorder, then you need a standard video editing program, like Windows Movie Maker, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premier or Final Cut, to name just a few.

Those video editing programs are for editing camera video. Unlike comtasia, they can not record a screen capture shot. So if you wanted to show your computer screen in a video you are editing with Windows Movie Maker, you would either have to use a jpeg or you would need to videotape your computer screen using a video camera and then capture that video into Movie Maker in the same way you captured your vacation video. I do that all the time because I haven’t wanted to spend $300 for Camtasia.

Whether Camtasia is right for you depends entirely on what kind of video you want to make.

Is your video going to be full of computer screen shots or is it going to be full of video you took at the beach? For more details www.viral-toolbar-builder.com.Camtasia is good software, please do not get me wrong. For what it does, Camtasia is the best program out there. BUT, if you want to edit videos that consist primarily of video you take with your camcorder, i.e. live action video, then you need something other than Camtasia.

I felt real sorry for my friend the chef who completely misunderstood this vital distinction before he bought his video editing software. $300 is a lot to waste when Windows Movie Maker would have been a better choice for him and it is free.

It’s quite popular to record your computer screen to make a tutorial, demo or gameplay video in order to share your masterpiece to the world. However, here is one big trouble that once you find out the output file occupies all your hard disk, resulting storage room shortage and system slowdown, furthermore, anyone can stand the long eternal upload progress of your 45-min yet 1GB video?

So now get some tips on what you can do to compress SWF file, please read it before you start to record your screen video.

Attention, all tips get to the root of this matter. No matter what screen recording software you use, all you should do is following the methods then gaining the engaging result.

Tip 1: Adjust the FPS (Frame per second) of your SWF output

This value describes the frequency at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images.

Generally speaking, for regular screen captured tutorial and demo, setting up FPS to 12~20 frames is enough to produce all steps and movements on your screen. If you want video with more great fluency, just simply add some frames/Second. You can make attempts on figuring out a proper value to balance the video quality and SWF file size.

Tip 2: Optimize images you insert into SWF files

During the editing of screen recording videos, several of extra components might be added in as decoration and additional remarks. The most common one is image and that’s also a key element on altering SWF file size.

You can give preference to the image in JPG and GIF format. Since SWF size varies directly with the bitmap size, BMP and PNG are not recommended for they contain so many pixels lined up in rows, indicating the lesser image compression they can reach.

Tip 3: Use less key-frame animation

The key-frame creates the important frames of a sequence. The more key-frame you use in screen recording, the bigger the SWF file size will be.

To avoid the size increase of SWF files, you can decrease the redundant mouse clicks while recording, or delete those repetitive frame produced by mouse click and keyboard strike in the interface of screen recording software.

So there are two ways to simplify the key-frame. One is combination, it’s widely used in cases when two adjacent key-frames contain similar slide appearance, you can add all actions originally in the second frame after the first frame, then delete the following one frame. In this way, you save one key-frame.

Another way called replacement is rather gimmicky but still impressive and effective. Firstly, make a screen capture for one key-frame slide which differs from the prior one in display and save it as an image. Then import it to the prior frame, set up the right time it appears in the frame tool bar and add the certain effects you want. Check the preview; does it look the same as former state which has two key-frames? And how about the file size?

Tip 4: Choose the ideal audio file for your SWF files

Use MP3 compression, it’s the smallest sound form. In most instances, you can change both the bit rate and sampling frequency to control the audio quality of your screen recording output.

Here for regular narration, we suggest audio file in 22 KHz, 16 bit, single output signal. One more, avoid the stereo sound, it will make your file size double.

Tips 5: Limit the fonts and font styles use

Be careful when you’re about to embed smart font styles into text or button box in screen recording video. The fonts and font styles will make your SWF in corpulence especially when you are trying to embed some unique fonts which need extra room to store in SWF file.

If it’s not essential or on certain purpose, just type all text in one font. You can put the words in different size or various colors, it do little influence to the video size compared with the font mixing.

Tip 6: Pay heed to new screen recording utility

DemoCreator is a really neat screen recording software for web designers, teachers, e-learning workers and basically anyone who is using screen recorders and wants to share their high quality tutorials, demos and video presentations in compressed SWF files.

With the latest version of DemoCreator, it can reduce your SWF file automatically and optimize the whole part of video to export the best quality output demo as far as small in size, according to official announcement to be published in early November.

Producing the best music audio can be a night mare to many producers. Audio music plays a major role in promoting the music. Most music producers encounter challenges in music production immediately the music footage is transferred in the computer; the editing stage. This is a very critical stage in producing audio music. It’s this stage that audio editing software is required.

Proper choice of the latest software is required. Having the best audio editing software can make music production nightmares turn in to sweet dreams. The editing software enables one to edit the music, voice and other audio recordings. Editing the music can be done by copying, and pasting the recordings then adding effects like amplification, echo and/or noise reduction.

The effects and features available in editing software determine whether it’s the best software to use.

It’s the effects in the software that when added to the music determines the quality of the music.
Editing the music correctly ensures that it gives the mood of the song without contrasting the theme. If the audio music effects added do not compliment the music mood, poor quality music is produced.

A software with a wide range of audio effects such as amplify, equalizer, echo, sample rate conversion, reverd and even normalize gives the producer a wide range of effects to choose from and add to the music. Editing software able to support different files and file formats enables the producer to apply effects easily and later convert the files into a single task hence making the process of music making cheaper.

Some of the features that one should consider before purchasing the editing software is how complicated is it to operate, one which doesn’t require a professional mixer to perform the basic audio editing tasks. The software should have easy to use programs that can guide anyone in editing the music. It should have compatible program to enable one to record or pull audio from video file without any hitches.

A latest editing software should have not only the essential editing tools such as cut, copy paste, record tools but also should contain other unique tools such as mixers, preset effects, filters and analyzing tools like waveform.

Many of the latest audio editing making soft wares are available online. To be able to decide on which version to order, one should also review the experiences of other users using the same software. One should also check the discount rates being offered, and the wide range of effects and features one will be able to add to the music from the software. In most cases the manufactures allow one to download sample software for free to test, before buying.

The quality of the audio editing software determines what kind of music one will be able to produce. The effects and features in the audio editing software determines if the producer will be able to add unique and a variety of effects to the music. This will in turn determine the quality of music one produces.
