I really like being able to record (and re-record) one slide at a time, and the ability to include files and web links increases its value as an integrated learning resource. If I want to create a scripted narrated PowerPoint in my office, Adobe Presenter is the best option. You can zoom in to show details, add annotations, create transitions between screens etc.ĪP: You can import video, add a webcam recording and attach documents and web links. Its a great tool for recording live presentations, or creating carefully-edited mixes of slides, screens and even live action (I shoot mine using a low-cost compact digital camera). Other capabilitiesĬS: Well, screen recording – so you can record a narrated tour of a website or software or mix that with a PowerPoint. Unfortunately they are shown in really small black text on a grey background, so accessibility isn’t good – and they are nothing like CS’s true subtitles. The subtitles are included in the video beneath the picture as white text on a black background – very clear.ĪP: Again, if you add yur script as ‘slide notes’, AP can display these alongslide each slide if you select the ‘Notes’ tab. I found that some editing to break the text into three-line chunks and manual adjustment of the timing was required – this took around 20 minutes for a 10-minute video. SubtitlesĬS: If you add your script as ‘slide notes’ to your PowerPoint presentation, Camtasia will (nearly) synchronise these your voice. You can easily record audio feedback for correct/incorrect answers and use the score to allow progress to further slides or redirect back to revise earlier slides. If you are uploading the video to a LMS like Blackboard then you can specify the use of SCORM so that each student’s results are recorded.ĪP: You can add simple multiple-choice and text-entry questions, which are added as macro-enabled slides to your presentation Again, SCORM can be specified to record the scores. Built-in quizzesĬS: If your output is for the web (MP4 + SWF) then you can add simple multiple-choice questions. You couldn’t use AP to record a live lecture. You need to click a ‘next animation’ button to synchronise these with your voice. You can edit the audio afterwards (a bit like using Audacity) so you can cut minor mistakes or coughs etc. Any slide animations are naturally sychronised with what you are saying.ĪP: You record your narration one slide at a time, so it is simple to re-record a slide if you make a mistake or the phone rings. This works fine in a ‘live lecture’ situation, but is not as easy as AP if you are recording in your office. This generally means you have to record in one take – although you can edit the recording afterwards. Use with PowerPointĬS: Basically, you show your presentation and record your voice as you go. Again, slide titles are used to create a linked table of contents. The output scales nicely to fit your web browser. For PowerPoint presentations, it can automatically create a linked table of contents based on the slide titles so you can jump to the point you need.ĪP: The output is a SWF player plus a bunch of SWF slides and MP3 audio files. 1024×768) so you may have problems with large videos on low-resolution displays. Other choices are a WMV, MOV or AVI video, an iPhone video or an MP3 file – so you can choose the format that meets your needs. It comes as part of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended, and an educational licence costs around £70.ĬS: for web use, the best choice is an MP4 video plus a SWF player. Adobe Presenter (AP) is integrated with PowerPoint to create narrated presentations.An educational licence costs around £150. Camtasia Studio (CS) is basically a screen-recorder, but is also integrated with PowerPoint to create narrated presentations.I have been a fan of Camtasia Studio for some years, so it was interesting to try the latest version of Adobe Presenter and see how they compared.
