About this course

Before you ever open Camtasia and think about recording, you should start to plan what you're going to create. Once you become proficient with Camtasia, the steps you take to create your screencast videos (really any videos) should begin with pre-planning. Scripts and storyboards will save you time and decision making once you start creating, and can help you show your stakeholders what you're going to create, hopefully, saving you from re-work during the production process. This course contains four lessons that will focus on scriptwriting and building out of a storyboard, specifically for screencasting.

This is the first course in the Camtasia 2020 Explorer Certification.
