Some teachers have asked how Panopto differs from other video capturing products, e.g. Camtasia, that can record videos. Which tool one chooses depends on what kind of activity one wants to record, how much editing one wants to do, and how one wants to deliver the recordings.
In this one-hour training course, we will illustrate how Panopto differs from Camtasia, how to quickly start recording of audio and video synchronized with Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and desktop screen of your Windows/Macintosh on a laptop before and during a lecture. Simple editing of a Panopto recording (called “Pancast”) will be illustrated.
Topics include:
- Detailed comparison between Camtasia and Panopto
- How to install Panopto recorder software
- How to capture a lecture video with a combination of multiple video/audio sources, especially with PowerPoint presentation
- How to view your recordings

- Simple editing of a Panopto recording
