Sorry about the delayed video - One of our trainers making these videos had sick kids and was tending to them. Sick kids take priority over screencasting.
Our next video is whether Morae Recorder or UserVue is a better fit during certain different circumstances. Click the video below to start it playing - it runs just over 4 minutes.
Thanks for watching this screencast. I hope this video helped answer your questions about when to use Morae versus UserVue. What other screencasts would you like to see?

I was having so much fun at Macworld yesterday that I ran out of time to post the Training video! So, today is your lucky day! You get two screencasts!
First up is one from Ryan Eash about Camtasia Studio. This video is about saving out PowerPoint slides as images, and then importing them into Camtasia and adding voice narration. This is an alternative from recording voice using the add-in toolbar…and it gives some flexibility with being able to “extend the current frame” in voice narration, and being able to resize the image clips on the timeline a bit easier than video clips. This same process could also be used for creating title clips in PowerPoint and importing them into Camtasia Studio as well.
The next one is all about Morae from Conan Heiselt. This video is about troubleshooting Morae when observing takes place across networks. Networks vary immensely and sometimes users run into snags.
TechSmith's Rich Recording Technology synchronizes video of the user including their audio and facial expressions, system activity like mouse clicks, Web page changes, and dialogue boxes, and the test application into one file that is indexed and searchable. You can read more about here. Today's video, from Conan Heiselt, is about how to use and search all of that data that Morae Recorder and UserVue capture to find some really neat things about what participants are doing. The video runs just under 3:30 minutes. Enjoy!
I know what you're asking yourself, "What's a study configuration in Morae?" Study configurations in Morae are often misunderstood. Today's screencast from Conan Heiselt will help you understand what a study configuration is, why they are important and how to use them. It will make your life easier as they help ease the recording and analyzing of all the sessions in a study. The screencast runs 4:23 minutes. Enjoy!
