This Zipped eXe File provides basic support for practitioners and learners to use CamStudio, to produce quality resources and/or to capture evidence for ePortfolios.
Note: this is aimed at Beginners and does not address all the tools that are available within CamStudio; it only looks at the version that runs on Windows.
Remember: -
CamStudio empowers all users to...
- record activity from a screen and audio from a microphone into AVI video files at a time and place convenient to them!
- convert the AVIs into Streaming Flash videos (SWFs) using its built-in SWF Producer.
Practitioners and learners can use CamStudio to...
- create video tutorials
- create compelling video evidence that demonstrate a learner’s progression and/or under standing
- create demonstration videos for any software program
- create videos answering FAQs
- record a recurring problem with a computer so users can show technical support staff
- create video-based information about courses/training/etc
- record tricks-n-techniques before they are forgotten
CamStudio also allows users to...
- add high-quality, anti-aliased (no jagged edges) screen captions to their recordings in seconds
- personalise their videos by including a webcam movie of themself "picture-in-picture" over their desktop.
- control the output of their video: they can...
- choose to use custom cursors,
- record the whole screen o record a section of the screen
- reduce or increase the quality of the recording depending on if they want smaller videos (for emailing to people, for instance) or "best quality" for burning onto CD/DVD.
Note: CamStudio also comes with its own Lossless Codec that produces crystal clear results with a much smaller filesize compared with other more popular codecs.
