Hi Alan,

I made my first set of videos last week using Camtasia for a 6 part training series about digital marketing.

Your idea about using a slideshow is about right and I did something similar.

I just opened the slides that I made in Photoshop to the size I wanted and just recorded them one clip at a time.

I also did some browser recording so had to plan the script to make sure the action on the screen was in tandem with the voice over.

You can then arrange these clips on a timeline and put the transitions between them in one go!

I then added some music at both ends and just faded it in and faded out.

To be fair, for me it was the script writing and slide design that took up the time but really it depends on how slick you want to appear.

Feel free to download my video series to get a feel for it, they aren't selling anything, they are just to give potential clients an understanding of what the game is all about.

They aren't great but for a first go I'm impressed with Camtasia.

Good luck,
Jase
