And the winner is...CAMTASIA by a landslide. The victory was a total embarrassment for CamStudio who showed no skill or any finesse. Seriously, I had so much trouble with CamStudio and will never again use it. I could use the so called software properly but when I tried to save to the SWF format I got error after error. I uninstalled 3 times and continued to have the same problems and then started getting more and different errors. I finally used my husbands older PC and got the SWF html page to not give me an error, but I don't know if what I submitted was viewable. I took the AVI format and saved it in Windows Movie Maker and was finally able to save to Youtube. I can't wait to uninstall for a final time and be done with it. It has really given Open Source Software a very bad taste in my mouth and will be very hard pressed to try any more OSS again. Camtasia on the other hand was FUN. I've used video editing software for a LONG time, iMovie starting back in 2000. I've actually taught a class on iMovie and got my first glimpse of my dream job. It was easy to use and fun to add elements to. It came out great in my opinion, although I'd done the Evernote tutorial so many times on CamStudio, I'd lost most of my enthusiasm.
Here is the Camtasia version...
This is the CamStudio version...
I am just in LOVE with Evernote. I have it on my work computer, my home computer and my android phone and it has been so useful. The other day we had a car trip and I was able to read 3 or 4 articles I had put there from my desktop on my phone. I even shared the site with my hematologist and she was really interested in the ability to access from anywhere. This is a real example of cloud computing at its finest. :)
ReplyDeleteHip..Hip..hooray for Evernote...nice Camtasia...I burned my Camstudio file...Death by fire...lol Just playing ..but I really wanted to.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Camtasia won the overall vote. Too many back and forths with CaStudio. I hope thats the end of it. I did have problems with the HD part of Camtasia, but it worked out. Good Job!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Evernote too. My husband and I use it for lists on a regular basis. I have list OCD:)
ReplyDeleteI, too, am a list person and see that this would be a great tool if I had internet on my phone. Good tutorial.
ReplyDeleteAmen...I couldn't agree more! I like your video on Evernote. It wasn't one that I really warmed up to at first but I am starting to see more uses.
ReplyDeleteI really like Evernote as well. Your tutorial is very helpful!
ReplyDeleteNice video! I started using Evernote for work, school, and my personal stuff. It helps me stay much more organized.
ReplyDeleteGreat videos and despite all the issues, glad you got CamStudio done and uploaded!! Your Evernote tutorial was very nice. Lots of details and handy little tips! I LOVE Evernote. I think the best part of me is that it syncs up to so many devices of mine. Very convenient this way!
