Next time we’ll have comments enabled too. I was planning on having people share a funny gaffe or blooper you’ve seen in someone else’s video capture but, well, the comment system is still broken here as a lingering result of the ongoing DDOS hacker attack on the site, so instead I have some fun other ways you can enter. Like I said, I’m giving away a license for one copy of Camtasia Studio 8, a $299 value, and I invite you to enter. With this setup, what can I do?

To demonstrate, I made a very quick demo capture video using a Toshiba Ultrabook and a new Blue Microphone “Nessie” mic. By taking care of all the details and making it a breeze to setup and configure whatever format you seek, it lets you focus on what you’re recording, not how you’re recording it. And, and, and.Īnd suffice to say, it’s a very complicated task, making a legible and comprehensible screen capture video, which is why it’s such a pleasure to work with Camtasia Studio 8. Then there are output formats and compatibility with Mac and PC. With audio you can capture just the computer-based audio or computer audio + microphone input, and on the latter, you can use a built-in microphone if your computer has one or plug in an external mic. If you’ve never created a video screen capture, you might not realize all the options available, but you can record just video, video + audio, record full screen or a specific subset of the screen that matches a desired resolution (like the exact pixel dimensions of 720p HD video, a format we frequently use in our own videos).
