Camtasia Instructor Guide

1. If you have not installed Camtasia, follow the steps for installing the Camtasia application in the accordion section above.
2. Open PowerPoint with your slides or any other application with content that you want to use during the recording. By default, Camtasia will record the whole screen, so it’s easiest if your presentation spans the whole screen too.
3. Open Camtasia, click the Home tab and select New Recording.
4. A toolbar will open with four icons representing your screen, webcam, microphone, and system audio. Enable the toggle below each of the items that you would like to record during the presentation. If prompted, adjust your system permissions to allow recording in Camtasia.
5. Once you are ready, click the red rec button. Present the slides as you talk over them.
6. When you are done:
   • On Windows, navigate to the recording menu and click the "stop" square button to stop recording.
   • On Mac, right-click the Camtasia icon in the Mac Dock and select Stop Recording.
7. Your recording will open automatically. If you would like to edit your recording, you can find instructions in the next accordion section.
8. Once you are happy with the edits, export your recording to a video file you can upload to your course. Click Export and select Local File.
9. Enter a name for your file, check that the file format is set to either MP4 with Smart Player (Windows) or MP4 (Mac), then click Export.
10. Once the export finishes and the file downloads to your computer, you can upload this video file to your course to share with students.

A cut removes a selected portion of your media clip, which is helpful when you want to remove or move parts of the media on the timeline:

1. Click and drag the green (left) or red (right) handles on the playhead (the indicator that shows where you are in the timeline) to make a selection. The selected area will be highlighted in blue.
2. Click the "cut" scissors icon to cut the selected area out. The media on the timeline will shift to remove the selection.
   • Alternatively, you can press Delete on the keyboard to delete the selection. This action will remove the selected area but leave space on the timeline for new media in its place.
3. To paste the cut selection elsewhere on the timeline, move the playhead to a new location and click the "paste" clipboard icon.

The Media Gallery is a media repository in Canvas that creates a searchable gallery of media available to everyone in your course. All media can be viewed by students at any time. You can upload media directly to the Media Gallery.

   • Save your setting changes.
