TechSmith Camtasia Studio 8: The Essentials

Camtasia Studio Production Time

When I say production time, I’m referring to the actual time you will spend editing a

Camtasia project from within the Camtasia Studio. It may sound like common sense,

but the longer each eLearning lesson plays, the longer it will typically take for you to

produce it in the Camtasia Studio. Many new eLearning developers underestimate

the number of hours it will take to produce a lesson. The following table should help.

Project Size Number of Production Hours

Small Videos (1-3 minutes of play time) 2-5 hours

Medium Videos (4-6 minutes) 6-8 hours

Long Videos (7-10 minutes) 9-10 hours

Extra Long Videos (more than 10 minutes) Consider splitting videos this large

into smaller Camtasia projects.

eLearning Development Power Scale

I’ve talked about the pre-production and the Camtasia Studio production processes.

If you’re responsible for everything, including the writing, recording and production,

have at it. However, if you need to put together a team, you will need people with

specific strengths. The power scale that follows demonstrates the level of difficulty

necessary to create an eLearning project in Camtasia. The scale goes from 1 to 10,

with 10 indicating a challenging job.

Write It: If you’re not a writer, you’ll need someone to write the step-by-step

instructions (also known as a script or storyboard) necessary to record the project in

Camtasia. You’ll typically find technical writers doing this kind of work, and I consider

this the most important process. Without a good script, you won’t have a good

movie. Think I’m kidding? What do Battlefield Earth, Barb Wire, Godzilla, Heaven’s

Gate, Popeye and Ishtar have in common? (Power Scale: 10)

Rehearse It: Take the completed script and go through it with the application you’ll

be recording in front of you. Don’t skip any steps. You’ll be able to see if the steps

you wrote are incomplete or inaccurate before you attempt to record the movie in

Camtasia. (Power Scale: 2)

Reset It: After rehearsing the steps, be sure to “undo” everything you did. Few

things are more frustrating than recording your video only to find a step you intend

to demonstrate has already been performed. (Power Scale: 1)

Record It: You will record using the Camtasia Recorder. If rehearsals went well, the

recording process should go smoothly. (Power Scale: 1)

Edit It: You will edit the video in the Camtasia Studio. This is when you add all of the

cool stuff to your video including media, title clips, voice narration, zoom-n-pans,

callouts, transitions, captions and even a quiz. (Power Scale: 8)

Produce It: While producing is not a difficult task, if your project is large this could

take a great deal of time. You cannot do any work in Camtasia while your project is

being produced. (Power Scale: 1)

Share It: This is a broad category. Posting your produced project will mean different

things depending on where your finished lessons are supposed to go. For instance, if

your lessons are supposed to end up inside a Learning Management System (LMS),

you will have to set up the reporting features for your project, produce the project

and then upload or install it into the LMS. After the lesson has been uploaded, you

will need to test it to ensure it scores as expected. If you plan to simply add the
