Description

Updated for the latest 2021 version! You now get training for the last 5 versions of Camtasia - 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and version 9. No matter which of these Windows versions you use, this training is for you! There are even several Mac-only videos for Mac users.

Make your best videos using Camtasia!

Camtasia Mastery is for everyone who uses Camtasia to make videos on their Windows PC. From beginners learning what the program is about, to experienced users who want to learn how to learn more about combining animations and using the new behaviors in version 9, this course has loads of information for learners of all experience levels. From beginners to long-time users, you WILL learn how to best use Camtasia.

The Camtasia Mastery sections are divided into several bite-sized videos. If you're new to Camtasia, just follow the order of the videos for lessons that build on previous information. If you're experienced with Camtasia, jump to any of the topics you need help with. Most videos are only a few minutes long but the course is packed with over 7 hours of instruction. You can get exactly what you need, when you need it - no more scouring hours of videos to try and find the one nugget of information you need.

Post your questions. I reply to most student questions and comments within 3 days (usually faster). The best questions get video answers. I will create a video to fully answer great questions. Video answers (and questions) will be shared with all students in an optional section at the end of the course.

If you are creating training videos with Camtasia 9, you will learn tricks and tips to save you time and make your videos look great! Enroll now and I'll see you inside the course.

All the concepts were explained in a crystal clear manner by the Instructor. Feeling very happy that I enrolled for this course.

Very useful, simple explanations that even total beginners to video and screen casting like me can understand. Making the length of each video just one or two minutes is brilliant.

Ron is an excellent narrator and tutor. Being not English native speaker his speech is very clear and so easy to understand. He makes Camtasia program very exciting and interesting. I'll soon become an expert! ;) Thank you Ron

Great course from a very knowledgeable trainer. The short videos work for me but most of the instructional videos are 4+ years old. As a newbie to Camtasia, I can only presume what I am learning from this course is still applicable to the latest 2021 version.

This course was a great match for me. Although I have some experience with Camtasia, I have learned about some of the settings, scripting methods, and things I wanted to know more about to create better presentations that flow naturally.

Like Ron's other courses, this is an excellent course. Very clear and easy to understand. Now I just received the 2021 Camtasia update and I hope this course will be updated again. If you are planning to create courses with Camtasia, this course is definatelly for you and I can recommend it. Also the price of 99,99 is a very good deal for all the information received.

Deep Dive into Camtasia. Editing, Zoom, Pan. Short Examples on how to get the best out of Camtasia.

Some videos give extra details e.g. different methods of doing same thing. As a user, I would like to know just one method i.e. most efficient one. Video gets lengthy when showing different options and viewer may get bored. Suggestion: Different options should be grouped together separately and that section should be made optional.

I purchased this course to learn something I don't know yet about Camtasia. All these videos are short and easy to follow. Every single video only conveys one information, which is really good. I finished this course in 1.5 speed and I took some notes.

Ron's course on Camtasia 9 is the best I have watched so far, and it has given me a lot of confidence to start creating my own videos. I have already started using some of the tips and tricks in creating simple, but effective instructional videos. My suggestion is to improve the course by having a real-life project, that the instructor can work on with the students from start to finish. Overall, an excellent course. Thanks Ron.

This is one of the best course which I've purchased until now. No annoying entrance, exit music and self-promotion and most importantly every word he speaks have value in it. Thanks for the wonderful course

This course is totally amazing !! I learned sooo much. I didn't know anything about the software before i started the course as I just got it. I felt like everything flowed very well and I understood everything perfectly. The Instructor was very upbeat, knowledgeable, and very experienced withe the content. This will not be the only course I get from Mr. Ron Hogue !! I will defiantly recommend this course to my other friends / colleagues
