Thanks very much. I normally fast forward of jump through videos to get to the point but I'm happy to be patient with Les's lovely style of teaching. I'm currently making lots of short videos for UA-cam; multiple choice questions each in same format. I didn't want all of them to look the same so the ability to have AI created animated backgrounds is very helpful indeed.
@nmarks, thanks for the positive perspective. The creative use of the design tools can be a real time saver with effective results. You just need to use your personal judgement of what does and does not work for your project. Good Luck!
Camtasia is a great content editing and creation tool. I use it to do my screen capture and enhancements for these UA-cam tutorials. But for a straight-on presentation, PowerPoint is hard to beat.
@@PowerUpTraining But I find a few things missing - 1. The e-learning content needs essentially a quiz. 2. Animations and transitions cannot be just a drag & drop thing. 3. Timeline manipulation is quirky. 4. On grouping and sections, aninations can't be applied. 5. Interactivity with hyperlinks and buttons needs a load of knowledge. 6. Applying arrows & cursor effects, highlighting parts of image and cropping & trimming media , audio effects is a great task. Storing them for future use in a library, a placeholder, chroma effect are still things Microsoft has to look into. Imagine the days without the morph transition. Oh! Even a novice like a school pupil can make a quick decent presentation in Camtasia, I believe. Rest, you're an expert. 👍
PowerPoint excels at presenting ideas in a professional setting. However, Camtasia is far superior in creating e-learning content. I totally agree; and I live in Camtasia for all my UA-cam elearning videos. The controls for video content is OUTSTANDING. (Two other tools in my video creation is Davinci Resolve for video editing / color correction and a suite of iZotope for audio editing/cleanup . . . but they are EXPENSIVE.)
@catmanbluz, troubleshooting over UA-cam is hard. But I am 85% sure I know what happened. If you did get the video for Ocean, then it is working correctly. The key is to start with a BLANK presentation. If you rewrite the title after getting a video, then it will not work the second time on the same presentation. Open a new Blank Presentation. I just tried dog, man, cat and numbers. All worked. However, the suggestion for GIRL and WOMAN (or even WOMEN) were lame and not relevant.

Can I do everything possibly in Camtasia instead of PowerPoint? It has quizzing too.

so far the only thing that is a video was the ocean, I tried dog, man, woman, girl, cat, and even number.
