Instructions for CamStudio

1. Download and install CamStudio software (do not re-boot computer)

2. Download this PPT onto your computer (right click and highlight save target as)

3. Set PPT on "advance slide" to "automatically after" 1 second and apply to all slides.

4. Open CamStudio set "region" to full screen. Region is one of the menu options.

5. Click record, which is the round red button. After clicking on record, the entire computer screen and everything that happens on it will be recorded until the recording is manually stopped.

6. Go PPT and view slide show.

7. After show is done, go to CamStudio click stop (the blue square icon on CamStudio menu bar).

8. Save movie (avi format). When saving the movie be sure to name it and save it in my documents.

9. Open Windows Movie Maker. Instead of importing pictures, as we did last class session, this time click on import video. In Windows Movie Maker you will trim parts of the PPT video at the beginning and at the end so that only the PPT show will show on your movie file.

10. Click on "import video." Be sure to uncheck "Create clips for video files."

11. Drag the video from the collections pane to the timeline.

12. Now you will "trim" the movie.  To trim the movie:

    • Use the playback controls on the monitor (in the timeline) to go to the point where you want to trim the clip.

    • Do the following:
      • When the playback indicator is at the point where you want the selected video or audio clip to start playing back, on the Clip menu, click Set Start Trim Point.
      • When the playback indicator is at the point where you want the selected video or audio clip to stop playing back, on the Clip menu, click Set End Trim Point.

13. Save movie and reduce the file size to 15 MB and upload to your TaskStream web page along with your other video.
