Camtasia Instructor Guide

1. If you have not installed Camtasia, follow the steps for installing the Camtasia application in the accordion above.
2. Open PowerPoint with your slides or any other application with content 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 Get Started 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 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, navigate back to your Camtasia application and click the white stop button (on Windows) or red rec button (on Mac) to stop recording.
7. Your recording will open automatically. If you would like to edit your recording, you can find instructions on how to in the next accordion.
8. Once you are happy with the edits, export your recording to a video file you can upload to your course. Click Share and select Local File.
9. Enter a name for your file, and check that the file format is set to Export to MP4 (.mp4), then click Export.
10. Once the export finishes and the file is downloaded to your computer, you can upload this video file to your course to share with students.

A cut removes a selection, which is helpful when you want to remove or move media on the timeline:

1. Click and drag the green or red 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 icon (scissors). 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 icon (clipboard).

The Media Gallery is a course-level media repository in Canvas that creates a searchable gallery of media that is 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.
   • Click to Authorize Kaltura, if prompted.
