Camtasia Studio Notes from the Road...Day 1

Posted on Sunday May 11, 2008 by Betsy Weber

Troy Stein, the Camtasia Studio Product Manager, is out loose on the road! He'll be making his way around North America over the next few weeks stopping to chat with Camtasia Studio users. He's starting on the East Coast of the United States. If you'd like to give Troy your feedback directly, drop us a line either in the comments or via e-mail and he may be coming to your town soon.

Here are Troy's notes from one of his meetings...

I met with Anthony Rocha in New Hampshire. Anthony runs Blade Multimedia, a full-scale multimedia development shop. He kept mentioning in his "pipeline" -- the various applications he uses to create his rich websites, CDs, etc. Anthony uses a lot of software applications in his multimedia projects, in conjunction with Camtasia. Here's how he decribes his pipeline of applications and some of the workflow (3min video):

Below is his list of apps in his pipeline. What's in yours? What do you use in conjunction with CS?

Me? Tonight, I used a Sony HDV camera, digitzed it with iMovie (for some reason Final Cut didn't like me today). I exported from iMovie to QuickTime MOV and imported it into a prototype of CS for editing, marking and production. Why not just edit in iMovie or FCP? I'm making a longer video of the interview and want the ability to create a TOC for easier navigation. If there's a good way of creating an html TOC w/ embedded MOV file in iMovie or FCP, let me know.
