I didn't seem to have as much trouble as other folks with getting CamStudio to run, but as far as working with the two, Camtasia was far better. I liked the way Camtasia broke down each unit of audio, video, and all. I did have a little problem with converting to HD, but it worked out. Camtasia was slower at building the video when done. Even with that, Camtasia was much easier to use and more fun to work with.
I combined three apps into one video. Yola was really easy to make a website. Simply drop whatever you wanted into the site and it would upload and go. When you were don, the URL was right there. Another app was TinyURL. This app would convert those long URL strings into something nice and short. The last one was just for fun. It was QR Generator. It would create a QR code for your smartphone bar code reader to read then you could open the site from your smartphone. You can send messages, URL's, text, about anyhting, but pics. Haven't found one for that. Try it. It's fun. We are looking at it for a scavenger hunt..
I have heard of tinyurl but never used it. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Yola...had no idea about that site!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to know how to make a website from home. Yola really looks easy to use. You did a great job explaining it.
ReplyDeleteI love how you included the transitions. That is something that I am going to go back and do before using it in my classroom. Yola seems like a really great and EASY (even better) way to create a website. COOL!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Yola! It looks pretty neat. Thanks for sharing and also THANKS FOR HELPING ME LAST WEEK!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this video. It has some very useful information. I don't know much about creating websites...now maybe I can attempt to make one!
ReplyDeleteYola looks like a great program! Very easy to use! Great video Ken.

Good job with the video and thanks for sharing these resources!! And I hate that you didn't have any problems!! haha Consider yourself lucky!! It was NOT fun from my point of view!
ReplyDeleteGreat video! Surprised that your video is 14min. I thought YouTube caps it at 10min. I've never heard/use Yola but I LOVE TinyURL and have used QR codes -- the last one was for my daughter's birthday invite. That first one you used was one I used too.
ReplyDeleteThe day before I left for the UK I presented for a few KC businesses. I mentioned QR codes for marketing and was giddy when I saw some in catalogs :)
