Camtasia Studio 8 : Quick eLearning Anyone Can Use!

Hi everyone! I’m back and with a great product: Camtasia Studio 8.  This is the first of a couple posts showing most of the features Camtasia has to offer.  I think this product is great for companies that need to put content out to staff quickly and still manage to include multimedia and interactive elements.  Of course, if you are already working with Captivate 7 or Articulate Storyline; then, there’s no point getting this software.

30-day Free Trial

You can’t beat this deal and the reality is that any eLearning software company not offering their product for a free trial must be out of its mind! I tested the software and tried many of its functionalities by getting a free 30-day trial here:

Part Two

This video shows how you can add content.

Although, you won’t be playing with Captivate’s advanced interactions or Storyline’s conditional variables and states; Camtasia Studio 8 is a quick an very affordable alternative costing only a 1/4 of the price of its counterparts.  My next post would show some of the advanced features this product offers.
