This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. This course provides all you need to know for producing app (and PowerPoint) screen recordings with TechSmith Camtasia. The course comprises approximately 3 hours of video instruction, quizzes, a complete workbook, and sample project files. You’ll learn about writing effective scripts, configuring your system for proper screen resolution, adding lower third headings, adding impactful INtros/OUTros, emphasizing UI elements with annotations, using TechSmith Audiate for AI-generated voiceovers, and exporting final tutorial videos to video hosting sites (or learning management systems).
Although the first set of lessons uses the author’s voice narration, many subsequent lessons use AI-generated voice-overs (converted from text scripts using Audiate). This gives you the opportunity to “test drive” and evaluate which Audiate voiceover artist is best for your own screen recordings.
Because Camtasia offers a comprehensive suite of video recording and editing features, Quick Start: Creating App tutorials with Camtasia focuses on teaching ONLY what you need to create professional screen-recording tutorials. As an established Upwork freelancer, I have helped many clients improve their makeshift screen recordings posted on social media sites. There appears to be a trend, however, in which clients want guidance to create their own tutorials. If you are someone who wants a “quick start” to do your own screen recordings, then this course may be the answer.
In addition to video instruction, you’ll get a complete full-color workbook to use as a reference guide. (How many video courses include a textbook? Not many!)
Requirements:
You’ll need a copy of Camtasia 2026 (or later) on either macOS (preferred) or Windows. For AI-generated voiceovers, you’ll need access to TechSmith Audiate. For posting your videos for review, TechSmith Screencast.
