I created 48 minutes worth of tutorials exploring the use of Camtasia Studio, Flash, After Effects and more for my FITC presentation (way more than anyone will be able to stomach, but it was worth not sleeping for a 4 days :) ).
I haven’t updated the rss feed for the podcasts, but will tomorrow so that you can see what they look like in that format. I’m going to try and scratch out a couple of hours of sleep before my 9:00 A.M. presentation tomorrow.
Update: I have updated my itunes podcast feed, so you can now download and watch the screencasts on your video ipod.

I have watched the first one and thought it was excellent. TechSmith needs to be more proactive in p
I watched the artifacting screencast. If I would have seen this 5 days ago, I wouldn’t have pulled all my hair out. Keep ‘em coming, and we’ll keep watching.
Know of any way to get a preloader built into the main SWF without having to call in a separate swf using CS?
Cheers, Jeff
First, thanks for the screencasts. The perspective does add interest, but could confuse someone if they hadn’t seen the demo’ed product before.
I’m posting related to the flash 8 artifacting issue. When the audio track needs to be with the swf, is there another work-around? Or is the intention to allow us to choose my target output within Camtasia?
Thanks, Bill
Hey Bill, I’m not sure how much guidance I can give you on this one, other than its something I wholeheartedly support and am pushing for internally at TS (top level ability to select which player version you wish to target). I’m optomistic that you’ll see progress on this front, but keep making noise so I have some leverage. :)
Jeff - you’d like the preloader to be built into the main swf file? I’m not sure I completely follow on this one. It seems like you would always want the preloader to be a separate file that could load quickly…is there a different purpose you’re driving at here? I’m interested and willing to listen at the very least.
