2. What you’ll need • Doceri • For iPad (iTunes App Store) • Doceri Desktop - trial version at: http://doceri.com/download.php • A stylus • Camtasia • Trial version at: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html • A USB microphone (for better audio quality) • A plan – Generally “winging it” doesn’t end well; especially with Doceri where order matters (no cut and paste capability)

3. Getting started – Doceri • You can start Doceri either with or without your computer • Generally I start without the computer Without computer With computer (start Doceri Desktop first)

4. Create a new project • Little + sign at the bottom left of the screen • Choose a screen size (I go with iPad default)

5. Start to play! Export Move forward / back in your presentation Open a new project Change the background Drawing Tools (pens, arrows, etc) Clear the screen Save and Close Add a picture Record your work (different from Save which is automatic) Settings

6. Make it look good • Try sizing the screen (two finger zoom) to 250% or so. It will make the actual presentation look cleaner. • To get back to 100% rotate your iPad 90° left then right

7. Variations Pens etc. Any button can be any type Pen / shape buttons Point size Spacing (dashing) Opacity (transparency) Select a color

8. Delete one stroke Editing your work Position marker Slide to a specific part Jump to the next marker Undo the delete Add/subtract a marker Move forward / back one stroke at a time Add / subtract a new page

9. Renaming • Click on a title and a “rename” box will open • Move one file onto another to create a folder • New files can be put into folders Click here to rename

10. Summary of Doceri • Outline your presentation • Clean your iPad screen (otherwise you may see some skips) • Create your Doceri presentation • Remember: Order matters, so add things as you want them to appear in your presentation • Clean up any mistakes by “backing up” • Add markers at any break points • Name your file (optional)

11. Getting started - Camtasia • Open Doceri Desktop • Open Doceri on your iPad (connected) • Start Camtasia • Click “Record the Screen”

12. Prepare to record • You can do this on your computer or iPad • When you’re done recording, hit ESC Volume level Turn on/off the webcam I normally use Full Screen Use a microphone! Start recording

13. Saving your project • When you are done you will have a chance to watch / hear the video and then save it as a .rec file (i.e. unedited) Click here to save (you don’t have to watch the whole video)

14. Choose a file size • You can pick any size you want, but the standard size for uploading to YouTube is 1280 x 720, so it’s a good default

15. Get ready to edit / enhance! Video preview Effects window Webcam can be moved out of the frame Effects Position marker Effects tracks Audio track

16. Adding a callout Preview the effect Lots more options here Split tool (highlight audio track first) You can change the time the effect occurs, and the length of the effect Adding / formatting text

17. Types of callouts • Shapes • Shapes with text • Shapes with motion • Highlighter • Spotlight • And more! Just try them out! • Note: If you want to add a full-page heading in the middle of a video, place the position marker to where you want to add the header, click on the audio track (it will turn blue) and then use the split button. Then you can move the (now 2) audio tracks apart and add a callout in between

18. Zoom and Pan Preview the zoom Adjust the box to what you want to see Uncheck the box to change the aspect ratio of the zoom Zoom marker (stretch out to slow down the zoom)

19. Editing, um, the audio • Move the red and green tabs on the slider to highlight what you want to cut • Cut out the audio with the scissors (cut tool) • Avoid cutting during callouts/zooms (move them first) Select what you want to cut Cut tool Stretches out the audio track for more precision

20. Saving and sending to YouTube • Under “File” • Save the project (as a .proj file) • this is a 2nd save – you are saving the edited version • Choose “Produce and share…” • Select YouTube Choose YouTube

21. Uploading to YouTube • Sign into your YouTube account • Give your video a title/description/tags Title and description Your YouTube account Videos should be “private” – change to “unlisted” in YouTube

22. YouTube • Change your video to “unlisted” in Uploads Click the lock

23. More YouTube • Change Privacy Settings to “Unlisted” • Use the shortcut link to let students know where to go Video URL Change Privacy

24. Summary of Camtasia • Creates a video including audio • Can easily add callouts and other effects • Plan what you are going to say first • Yes you can edit, but cutting/pasting voice is tricky • Use a USB microphone – it really does make things sound better • Decide if you really want the webcam on • Many more options available (including uploading pictures, adding URLs, etc.) See the tutorials at: • http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-8.html
