TechSmith Introduces Camtasia Studio 4 so Business and Education Professionals can Create Screencasts and Multimedia Content for the Apple iPod
Without requiring any multimedia or programming expertise, business users can create screencasts for software demonstrations, interactive training, online marketing content, and PowerPoint-based video presentations with Camtasia Studio. And educators, administrators, and technology coordinators can easily record all the activity on a computer screen, along with voice narration and real-world video, to create life-like instruction for online classes, distance learning, and professional-development courses. Camtasia Studio can record from any Windows-based computer, including Tablet PCs, Wacom Tablets, and interactive whiteboards. "Business and education professionals worldwide are using Camtasia Studio to create online multimedia content and to record live PowerPoint lectures," said Troy Stein, Camtasia Studio Product Manager at TechSmith. "Now they can easily repurpose that content for portable media players, which are abundant in many organizations and ubiquitous on nearly every campus. Screencasts on iPods are a great way to deliver content in a compelling, convenient manner for colleagues and students." Camtasia Studio users can automatically record exactly what they see on their computer screens, what they say, and how they interact with PowerPoint or any Windows-based application or website. Individuals can then edit the interactive content and share it online in all popular streaming media formats, including Flash (SWF, FLV), portable media player formats, or fixed media such as CD or DVD. Users can also import video from digital camcorders to enhance their screen recordings. Some of the new features in Camtasia Studio 4 include: -- Support for portable media player video formats, including M4V for iPod video, to reach the widest possible audience -- Ability to create multiple files simultaneously so users can produce a single screencast in a variety of formats (e.g., Flash, iPod, MP3, PowerPoint, etc.) -- Audio enhancements so users can remove background noise and volume variations with one click to easily deliver professional-sounding screencasts -- 30-second previews that allow users to see how the first 30 seconds of a screencast will look and sound based on different production options before producing the entire video -- Closed Captioning so users can synchronize voice narration with on-screen text to create videos that are accessible to a broad audience. -- New quizzing and survey viewer interface so users can embed questions and get answers via email -- Shareable production profiles that allow individuals to share their screencast settings with others, helping organizations standardize the look and feel of all screencasts and get new users up and running quickly System Requirements and Availability Camtasia Studio 4 supports Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP with DirectX 9.0. Additional digital video formats can be imported including AVI, MPEG, MPG, and WMV. Web cameras and microphones for capturing audio and video are available for purchase separately.
