Camtasia - screencast to help

Most of us like women and it's great, but what to do when a beloved toscha was behind your computer and not on day two, but for a few months. The degree of the situation will gradually increase until it will lead to injury of one of the parties to the conflict - and that participant may be your Mac. The situation must be brought under control. How? - Teach the mother in law "treat permisheny" and connect to Windows neighbors using Samba. The assistants vozmem professional skrinkaster Camtasia.

Mother in law leave alone for a while. Camtasia product has become almost standard on Windows, Mac version appeared August 25, 2009. The project is young and at the beginning of its formation, the app was created by TechSmith, operating since 1987, in 1991 there was the first application to take screenshots SnagitIn 1999 came the first version of Camtasia software. From a company with such experience we have the right to expect a very interesting product, but first things first ...

Application is not a clone of his brother win-Camtasia Studio, the program was developed specifically on the Mac, this approach has added a lot of pluses and some minuses.

Recording.
recording function is implemented simply and clearly, it can be recorded from a microphone, the external input (line in) and iSight camera. Unfortunately compared with Windows-based version, the developers are not together the ability to record part of the screen, it will have to cut the video in the editing time, as there are no the ability to record voice narration only, you can not pause recording, there is the addition of markers, but only Mac-Camtasia can work with DV-camera through firewire. Probably the main disadvantage has come to light at this stage, the application is not able to work with the cursor, it is quite a serious omission.

Editing and interface.
The program's interface and work reminds him iMovieSuch "approach" makes designers to study the program easier and more understandable. All control elements are logically correct, it is widely involved our favorite Drag & Drop. The quantity and quality provided by the effects of the editing is enough to create an impressive screencast. Itself has the ability to add text, zoom, background and figure. It is very convenient to edit the position and size of the video, is simply to see. From working with sound I wanted more, but that must be there, the rest you can add your own expression in microphone. In comparison with the Windows counterpart of almost all the editing functions have been transferred successfully shifted to the Mac interface, mother-like.

Export.
Ability to exoprt ready screencast wide. Export is possible in the project file in a compressed zip-file to be transmitted between computers.
