The return of screen capture and webcam recording!

George Payne Camtasia, Video, Workshops

Welcome back to MIIS and welcome back to the DLC!

Today we hosted a Camtasia 2 workshop for some Translation and Interpretation students and it’s likely that you might want to learn the very simple and straightforward way to screen-capture and record video via the webcam as well. Camtasia 2 is a great piece of software that allows you to record entire presentations—including recording your computer screen, your voice, and/or a video of yourself talking, and then edit it with text, photos, and external media to have a completely polished movie on your topic.

Be sure to come visit us in the DLC if you’re interested in learning more.

Hope to see you soon!

Audio Editing and Sound Management

George Payne Audio, Events

Come to the DLC Thursday, March 27 from 12:30-1:30 for a workshop.

Build up your audio editing competency with this 1-hour live tutorial on how to use Garageband and Audacity! Both programs perform vital functions for your audio editing needs, but at times they can prove to be overwhelming or confusing.

After attending this workshop you will be able to confidently navigate the interfaces, record, cut, copy, loop, fade and merge tracks, export them in various formats and import them into other programs like iMovie. Other tips and trick will be highlighted along the way and we promise you’ll walk away feeling like mixmaster Dr. Dre!
