One of the best technical manuals I've read, October 28, 2008
By

I had to learn Camtasia for my job and this book helped me get through the learning curve quickly. The writing isn't too dry and technical. The author balances the technical writing with exercises in each section. You'll be creating your first video within a day or two and having fun with it. This book is full of good information on Camtasia and has been a great reference tool. I still refer back to it to pick up more tips on polishing up my presentations. Although Camtasia does come with training videos, they don't go into the detail that this book does. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn Camtasia.
Stuffed with info, but no quick start, August 29, 2008

Your SBI CoachEven though a CD is included, there is no "live" demo to step through the first stages, which is typically the hardest part for most people. Once you know the basics, a book like this is invaluable; it is stuffed full of great information. But, like most tech people, he seems to assume that we are all tech-y. I'm not. I did find a site online that seems more geared to beginners, so I think I'll start with that, and use this book later on.

The only printed manual I could find for this great product.
If like me, you like to have a paper manual which you can mark and reference this is the only one out there!
Camtasia Guide Really Helps Me!, July 1, 2008
By

I recently purchased Camtasia Studio 5: The Definitive Guide because I started a new job developing web demos for a software company. Though I was familiar with Camtasia Studio, I had no prior experience working with it prior to this job. I bought the guide hoping it would help, and boy did it ever! I was able to create a professional demo within weeks of starting my job. The guide really helped me understand Camtasia Studio and it gave great tips (on reducing the file size, recording in small dimensions for web demos, buying the right equipment for audio recording, etc.) that I would have never even thought about without the guide. My demos are probably 100 times better than they ever would have been without this book. Thanks definitely goes to Daniel Park for writing such a helpful guide!
