Recently I have had a few people ask me what I use to create videos for my products and other online needs. So I thought I would post a quick note.

As I am sure you know… video is where it is at. With video you can express opinions create products teach others share information and the list goes on.

But the question I often get is what do you use to create your videos. Well… I use 2 program. Camtasia and Jing.

There are others but I like to keep things simple. With simple you have action and in the online world action is what it is about.

So know that your still reading this… then I will guess that you probably have neither so let’s get going.

First Camtasia has all the bells and whistles you need but is also easy to use. It is a paid product but it is well worth it. You can create videos as long as you like and you are only limited by the size of video you want to create.

Camtasia does have a free 30 day trial. So I would suggest downloading it and get started right away. You could have some videos created in an afternoon and start selling that same day. With the sales you create you can raise money to pay for your version before the trial runs out.

I won’t go into great detail about the program because you can get all the facts at their site. But I will tell you that I use it almost everyday.

Now for Jing… Jing is a free program. It does not have the bells and whistles and is again simple to use. With Jing you are limited to a 5 minute video unless you have their pro version which is paid.

I use Camtasia for my most important videos. Videos that I am going to sell or put online on video sites.

I use Jing for quick explanation videos.

So take a look at both and see what will work for you. But… whatever you do get started right away doing something. Fast action creates success online and don’t think to much… it always messes things up.

How To Stop Techsmith Camtasia Studio Video Chirps And Chipmunk Sounds In The Audio.

If you are producing videos using Techsmiths Camtasia Studio then you have certainly heard the dreaded chirps and chipmunk sounds. Like most people I first thought it was my computer but it is not and I am glad to say there is a quick and easy fix.

The sounds are produced by a conflict between Techsmiths Camtasia Studio and Adobes Flash Player.

After researching this problem here is the easy fix.

- Download a free application provided by Techsmith here http://techsmith.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/techsmith.cfg/php/enduser/fattach_get.php?p_sid=4l7qLAWi&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_tbl=9&p_id=1250&p_created=1200422595&p_olh=0I

- Unzip the application from Techsmith

- Run the application from Techsmith

- Open up a file that contains the video that you want to run through the Techsmith application. Within that file will be an .swf file. Drag and drop the .swf file into the Techsmith application.

- Click on the fix audio button.

- The application will tell you the file was processed. That’s it your file is ready to go.

To test the fix click on the .html file within the folder you just did the fix for to run your video. You will find the chirps and chipmunk sounds are fixed.

Simple and easy isn’t it?

I hope you found this helpful and thanks to Techsmith Camtasia Studio for the fix.

Until next time.
