Time | Narration |
00:10 | Hello friends. On behalf of CDEEP, IIT Bombay, I welcome you to this Tutorial. |
00:16 | This tutorial will help you master CamStudio through a step-by-step process. |
00:22 | Learning is more effective when animation and narrations are presented simultaneously. |
00:28 | Audio-video demonstrations can illustrate features with maximum clarity. |
00:33 | CamStudio is a screen-recording software that records all activities which you see on your computer screen and allows you to play them back later on. |
00:43 | Which means that you can use CamStudio to- |
00:45 | * demonstrate features of a new software |
00:48 | * create audio-video tutorials for schools and colleges |
00:52 | * create video movies used in user trainings |
00:55 | * show how to perform an activity |
00:57 | * convert AVI files to Flash (SWF) files and many other uses. |
01:01 | The uses of this little known software are limitless. |
01:05 | CamStudio can be used with Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000 or XP versions. |
01:15 | All you need is a 400 MHz processor, 64 MB of RAM and 4 MB of hard-disk space for program installation. |
01:25 | Camstudio is an open source software and can be downloaded free of cost from the internet. Go to the site: www.camstudio.org. |
01:36 | This will open the CamStudio website. Scroll down and click on the link to download. |
01:42 | Follow the instructions and you will have downloaded CamStudio on your PC. |
01:47 | Once you have installed CamStudio, double-click on the icon to run it. This will open the CamStudio dialog box. |
01:56 | You will see the Main Menu right at the top of the window. Under File, you have the option to Record, Stop, Pause and Exit. |
02:06 | You will find the corresponding buttons in the dialog box as well- the Red button to record, the Grey button to pause and the Blue button to stop the recording. |
02:17 | It is recommended that you set the capture region before recording by defining the area of capture. Under Region, there are 3 capture options. |
02:27 | If you select Region and click on Record then you can draw a rectangular region on your screen within which the capturing will occur. |
02:36 | If you select Fixed Region then you can specify the capture region in pixels. |
02:45 | If you select Full Screen then the entire screen will be captured. |
02:49 | The Enable Autopan feature is a unique feature of CamStudio. |
02:54 | If this option is selected, the capture region will follow the cursor wherever it goes during recording. |
03:01 | This has the effect of making the screen capture to occur at the region with the most action. |
03:08 | You can also set the speed of panning here. |
03:14 | Under Options, you have Video Options where you can select a compressor for the recording so that the video file size is small. |
03:23 | By default, the compressor is Microsoft Video 1. |
03:27 | But, you are free to choose any of the compressors or codecs given in the drop down box here. |
03:33 | Alternately, you can even download the codecs from the internet depending on your requirement. |
03:39 | Setting the video options allows you to optimize your video recordings by choosing between the file size, quality and frame rates of your video files. |
03:49 | To set the values for Key Frames, Capture Frames and the Playback Rate, first uncheck the Auto Adjust button. |
03:57 | Now, you can set the values according to your requirement. To record this tutorial, I have used 'Microsoft Video 1' as the compressor with 'Key Frames' set to 5, 'Capture Frames' set to 200 and 'Playback Rate' set to 5. I have reduced the Quality to 50. |
04:16 | By trial and error and various permutations and combinations, I have personally found these values suitable in terms of output quality and file size. |
04:27 | Setting cursor options can help focus on the activity you are recording by drawing attention to the area where the action happens. |
04:36 | Under Options, click on Cursor Options in which you have the choice to either hide or show the cursor. By default, Show Cursor is checked. |
04:47 | There are 3 choices of cursors here – the actual cursor, the custom cursor (you can select from the drop-down box here) or you can load the cursor from the cursors folder present on your computer. |
05:04 | Next, you can highlight the area around the cursor by checking this box. |
05:10 | You can set the size, the shape and the colour of the highlight. Click on OK. |
05:19 | You will not see any change in your cursor but the recorded video will have a custom, highlighted cursor. Let me demonstrate this for you. |
05:38 | By default, CamStudio does not record audio. You can record audio from the microphone – a very powerful feature to make audio-video tutorials – by checking this option. |
05:50 | You will need a sound card with an attached microphone to use this option. |
05:55 | You can also record audio from the speakers attached to your computer by checking this option. |
06:01 | There are other options like Program Options which have these sub-options. |
06:07 | Use these options to customize the way CamStudio behaves when it starts or stops recording. |
06:14 | Ideally check the option to Minimize program on Start Recording. |
06:18 | This will minimize CamStudio onto the system tray which is at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. |
06:26 | Right now, you will see 2 CamStudio icons on the system tray. |
06:31 | That’s because I myself am recording this tutorial using CamStudio. |
06:36 | Record to Flash Options has these sub-options. |
06:40 | Keyboard Shortcuts is where you can set the HOT KEYS for record, pause, stop and the rest. |
06:47 | You are free to choose any of these. |
06:50 | So, I hope I have given you sufficient information to get you started on CamStudio. |
06:55 | Use this software to make audio-video tutorials and online visual learning modules of your own. |
07:02 | Once you have mastered the basics of CamStudio, you may want to watch the next edition on its advanced features. |
07:10 | Till then, this is Nancy from CDEEP, IIT Bombay, signing off. Thank you for watching. |
