Camtasia Relay 4.3

Camtasia Relay 4.3 is out! The new release is perfect for administrators and presenters who want to add visual graphs in their presentations.

Camtasia Relay, known as an affordable organization-wide screen recording tool which allows you to see your records and even share lectures, presentations, meetings, and mobile videos, comes now with a new feature aiming to give you an easier time to use it.

The team behind the powerful software has developed its video capabilities. They say that they try to balance new features for both system administrators and users with their main goal of making the recording process fast and easy.

As you might take note of, a majority of the feedback for the software from its users is positive. Apart from those feedbacks that developers are proud of, they keep working on improvements based from these suggestions and so they come up with the minor release Camtasia Relay 4.3.

The publisher is aware that people are expecting more from the app for business and school use and so because TechSmith would love to keep them satisfied, they have released 4.3 which targets administrators who want to know what’s going on the server.

What’s New?

The Camtasia Relay 4.3 has an easy-to-read graph which administrators can use to check on the number of recordings processed by the server during a specific time by just choosing a date or day range to see.

The new feature definitely will allow them to monitor their peak usage times as well as what recordings are lined up on their server. Moreover, it contains a graph which can show average file sizes for every encoding done together with the encoding length and time for every profile found on the Camtasia Relay system. Due to this current innovation, administrators can plan ahead for both present and future needs.

Meanwhile, the new Camtasia Relay 4.3 dashboard also comes with data on usage of every profile, which they can find on the setup page.  Having that said, you will now have the ability to see this information, which used to be buried in your event logs or database. Watch the presentation below:

The latest release is focused to help system administrators, but the TechSmith team is in the works for new features to target users as well. You should definitely stay tuned for these updates coming soon.

If you have any questions that you want to send out to the developers or stories to share with the Camtasia Guide community, feel free to post them below.

How to Change the Camtasia Background Color

under Camtasia Features, Screencast, Tutorials      Author Peter Gillberg

demo2Hello Camtasia users! Today’s tutorial is about changing the screencast background from black to white or any other color for that matter ;-)

Camtasia Studio’s default setting is with a black background setting, but if you for example want a white background in your video instead, follow these 2 simple  steps.

Normally you access the different video settings in the menu row located above the timelines as shown in this image.

 

image003

But the Background color setting is actually not controlled from this menu. Instead you find it above your video preview window. Click on the Editing Dimensions to open them and at the bottom of that screen you find the Background color.

image004

It’s not difficult, when you know where this setting is located.

I hope that you enjoyed this short tutorial. Let me know other topics you want to cover in this blog.

Feel free to post your comments below.

Cost-Cutting in Video Marketing Production? Create Your Very Own YouTube Marketing Video Using Camtasia

under Camtasia Features, Tips, Tutorials      Author Peter Gillberg
dollar1

What are the benefits of video marketing using Camtasia?

With the fierce and tough competition you’re facing as an e-commerce business owner, where are your marketing techniques taking you? You might have tried various tactics such as article writing, blog posting, forum commenting, social media sharing, and other techniques which could help you in reaching out and extending your exposure to your customers.

However, having all these things done didn’t bring you your expected results in marketing. Adding some fuel to the fire, you could have spent a considerable amount of money on these methods, not mentioning all the other tactics you have used such as promotions and discount offers to your customers.

Change Your Game… Play Better With Videos

Add videos in marketing your products and services. You shouldn’t think twice in making more dynamic and livelier contents that your users can easily see. Video marketing is in!

“Why Should I Believe You?”

Well, there are certain benefits you can get from video marketing on YouTube and those are what I’m going to show you in the next section. If you’re ready, let’s proceed.

Compelling

Videos are more compelling since they are more entertaining than text. People are more likely to watch videos than read an article. If you need proof, well, take YouTube for example. There are more than millions of people visiting the platform daily to watch videos than to read an article.

Time-Saving

If I were shopping for something but don’t have the time to spare to read your promotional articles, reviews, and blogs, I might as well just click on a video and just watch and listen to the video. I can spend half the time than I would normally spend reading text.

Cost-Effective

You can create your very own videos at a very cheap price. You can simply capture your screens and edit it straight to your computer through Camtasia. It’s the all-in-one computer app that you can depend on for screencasting, sharing, and editing. It won’t cost you much to make your video presentations, tutorials, or any marketing video that you wish your users to see.

Social Media Sharing

YouTube, undoubtedly, is the best platform for uploading and sharing videos to your users, who can possibly share, like, and subscribe to your video channel. It’s the best way to expose your business to social media such as Twitter and Facebook. When it comes to better social media marketing, you can depend on the amazing results of video marketing.

Search Engine Results Building

Using YouTube, as a video platform, can help you in many ways and one of which is your increased traffic. Since there are millions of viewers that can click on your link, you are sure to get better search results. Think about ‘sales’ coming up next…..

Sales Increased

With so much traffic you could possibly get from your YouTube videos, there is nothing more you can expect but better sales for your e-commerce business. Because there are more people to visit your website, they can have the chance to see your product and service offers.

Check out Camtasia… Your Main Tool to Reap All the Benefits of Video Marketing

If you don’t have Camtasia yet, then you might as well check it out to see how you can create outstanding videos right in your own home. When it comes to cost-cutting, video marketing is your best option. But, of course, you cannot do that without the help of this powerful and all-inclusive app for video creation and sharing.

Camtasia License and Software Key Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

under Tips, Tutorials      Author Peter Gillberg

Read2Hello Friends! Lately, I’ve received a ton of emails from our Camtasia software users. So, today, I tried my best to answer some of your most common questions.

Where Is My Software Key?

If you bought your software from TechSmith itself, then you should find your software key in your email receipt. You can find it in the order details portion of the receipt.

Where Is the Software Key Location?

For the Camtasia v3.1.1 or latest versions, you should find the software key on the sticker. You can also see that on the CD sleeve. Otherwise, you can find it under your CD in the case.

*If you have your software CD of the earlier version of Camtasia, then the software key should be generated upon your installation. Therefore, you shouldn’t expect to find the key from your box or the CD sleeve.

What If I Would Like A Web Key Search?

There is a key lookup tool that you can find on the TechSmith website you should, however, use the same email when you bought the software.

How About in the Software Product Itself?

You can also find the software key in your product itself, if and only if, you have inputted your key correctly.

How Can I Lookup for the Key in My Windows OS?

You can find the key using these steps:

1.    Go to help.

2.    Click on the technical support button.

*However, you can sometimes have a hard time to look for the key. Having that said, you should be saving your key in a text file like a word pad or a notepad. It will help you locate your key if you would save it correctly.

We’re going to feature more frequently asked questions here soon. So, don’t miss out. Always check us for updates. Do you think we miss out something in this tutorial? Please feel free to submit your questions below, and we’ll compile them for the next series of frequently asked questions post.

Amazing Things Camtasia Relay Can Do

under Camtasia Relay      Author Peter Gillberg
Camtasia Relay

Camtasia Relay

Camtasia Relay is a lecture capture tool and at the same time a recording solution that makes recording presentations and lectures easy, fast, and reliable.

Business Presentations and Trainings

In any organization, meetings are never complete without having a presentation of ideas, suggestions, and plans. It is also during important conferences that trainings and seminars are being presented to make everyone in the team more adept of everything that is involved in achieving the goals of the group.

K-12 Programs

Same as with business organizations, a bigger importance is given out to the methods of teaching in school especially in the K-12 program. There is a need to have a solution to make presentations more effective so that each student who will see it will have better learning. Not only that, an excellent lecture recording tool ensures that there are more tasks that can be done in a shorter amount of time.

Advance Recordings Saves Much Time

Among the numerous reasons why an organization should use Camtasia Relay, the best with it is that, anyone could record in advance lectures, presentations, and other data that will be useful during training or a class session.

Livelier Lectures Means More Learning

Unlike relying on saving slides after slides of boring lectures, a more vibrant approach of capturing live lectures is suggested to make it more effective as much as possible.

Instant Makeup Classes/Trainings

In school, professors will not be worried anymore that their students will miss a lesson should there be a need for them to be absent from class. Situations like sickness, accidents, and emergency meetings would mean that teachers will not be able to attend with their students.

Of course, you can have an option to have another substitute as a teacher but the learning process becomes disrupted in the process knowing fully well that each teacher has individual styles to teach.

Online Lectures

With Camtasia Relay, an online lecture is possible that could be prepared in advance. With this, distance learning for students who cannot leave their homes is made available for their convenience as the lecture content can be viewed at the comfort of their homes.

Recorded Performance

Also, with Camtasia Relay, the performance of each student can be recorded and archived for future evaluation. Useful data like grades and other parameters of learning can be stored so that they are readily available once needed to be presented to the school administration.

Skills Enhancement

Not only with school activities, the Camtasia Relay is also useful in providing leadership trainings, skills enhancement lectures, and giving task orientations in large corporations.

Professional Content

The flexibility of the program ensures that the content can be arranged and presented in such a way that it becomes more encouraging and believable to the audience especially the clients and the staff.

It also gives a uniform style in presenting lectures thus makes it easier to split large groups in smaller clusters for a more manageable number of participants during a training.

Performance evaluation of the employees can also be done using the data that were gathered and stored in the system. This is a very convenient way to keep everything organized from the data gathering, arrangement, up to the presentation of everything. All that it takes is to have software that can do all these without having you stress out on the process.

What are other useful features of the software?

Aside from its lecture capture capabilities, the Camtasia Relay program also allows recording of audio which is very useful in presenting data. It even allows Picture in Picture capability that makes it easier to integrate both pictures and video files into the presentation.

Aside from that, the presentations can be viewed using mobile devices as the program has a mobile app which supports the recorded materials. This ensures that you are able to take your presentations with you wherever you may want to go. The materials could also be published on Amazon in which users can just key in their usernames and passwords to retrieve the data.

It is amazing how technology works for the betterment of any company or institution. It is expected to have great improvements and wonderful profits when it comes to communicating with clients, students, and between colleagues when the Camtasia Relay software is used.
