Customer Reviews

Good information

A valuable book for those interested in getting the most out of Camtasia 4. The author culls from his extensive Camtasia experience as he walks the reader through various exercises, expertly weaving in tips and tricks along the way. While the book could do with a heavy copyedit (experienced writers will cringe at the author's frequent use of unnecessary words), the book's substance is well worth the cover price.

Comprehensive and readable

I have literally shelves full of computer books. This is one of very few I've actually read cover-to-cover. But the book is structured so that for the most part you can read any one chapter without missing out on information that depends on a previous chapter. I've even wound up taking some of his hardware advice. Otherwise, I never would have thought to purchase a preamp with as dorky a name as "Audio Buddy"...LOL... If you're using Camtasia Studio to produce instructional or sales videos - or considering using it - this is the book you need.

Excellent, comprehensive book for newbies and experienced users

I fall into the newbie category and had to come up to speed very quickly, using Camtasia Studio 4 to record and produce several video podcasts of PowerPoint presentations for my company. I bought several books and read "how-to's" on the internet, but this book turned out to be my savior. If you buy only one book, this one should be the one.

Why do I need a book for a product like Camtasia??

Because I am making money by selling my Camtasia videos, and I want to know everything I can about the product. I consider myself an advanced user of Camtasia, and the tips I have learned from Daniel Park's book more than justify the cost.
