Camtasia or Articulate?
March 2nd, 2007
Quick question for BPMS Watch readers. In my BPMN training I used Camtasia Studio to produce the Flash videos from Powerpoint and screencams. Of course, now I want to change the slide masters, tweak a few slides, the usual thing. But the simplest change in the Powerpoint can mean a huge effort in Camtasia. Changing the slide master? Probably 20 hours to re-record the video and re-sync the audio to the slides. I’m told Articulate is much better, very little effort to accommodate a change in the Powerpoint. Anyone out there have experience with this?

Hi.
I’m not sure if it’s okay for a software vendor to post here, so if it’s not please just let me know and I’ll delete this comment. But I had some very relevant information that I thought you might want to know about.
My company makes a product called “WildPresenter” that provides more capabilities than either Camtasia or Articulate. (It’s been getting some great reviews and awards.)
One of the really powerful features of the software is that when you convert a PowerPoint to Flash, you end up with the complete PowerPoint file in an editable format, so you can change the text, animations, transitions, etc. You can also change the master slides. So instead of 20 hours, it’s 5 minutes to change your file.
We have a free demo if you want to try it. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at jb@wildform.com.
