"Hi Jeff,
The best quality that I see typically comes from Windows convertible tablet PC's because that most closely mimics real pen on paper. The obvious downside of this method is that it requires purchasing a new PC.

Regarding Snagit, you're on the right track. If it is possible, resizing the browser (or other application Window) is always the best start point. In some cases, modifying your resolution may help but most applications are built…"

Carole Seubert said… Dave,
I'm using the trial version of Camtasia Mac Version 2 and have a couple of questions. 1) I'm trying to record a PowerPoint presentation and am a little confused about the screen set up. My attempts at recording show the entire desktop. Is there a way to record the PPT in its "view slideshow" or full screen view? When I go to slideshow view in PPT I lose the Camtasia tool box. Attempts to use the custom regions have proven completely unsatisfactory.
2) A set of Tips for using Camtasia suggested recording the video first then recording the audio - kind of like dubbing I guess. Is this a process you recommend? If so, How do I mute the built-in mike to keep it from picking up ambient sounds, etc. while I do the video?
Your assistance is appreciated.

Hi Dave.
I attended the conference over the summer, but I signed up for it the day before it began. As a result, the Camtasia that I downloaded in Woodland Park must have been the trial because it is now telling me that it is expired. Can you help me out with getting the proper code to me?
Thanks!
Christina

I see you're in East Lansing. I'm a State alum! Let's start a Camtasia group and share our experiences and "expertise".
Go Spartans!

Deb Wolf said… - I saw your comment to Jonathan about setting up a section for questions on Camtasia. I think that would be a great idea. I teach in a large school district and currently I'm the Camtasia "expert" (and I use that term VERY loosely) only because I've been using it the longest. So a place to ask questions and also share things we've figured out/learned might be cool.
