 * Make your own mathcasts: Getting Started -- Tools --** Tutorials and book


 * Getting started**
 * 1) **Windows**
 * 2) Download & install TechSmith Camtasia Studio (30 day free trial - See Tools - Recording-Production Software).
 * 3) Download & install SMART Notebook software (free download - See Tools - Annotation Software).
 * 4) Start SMART Notebook software and use your keyboard and mouse (or graphics tablet if you have one) to write some math problem.
 * 5) Plug in a headset or microphone (see Tools - Recording Sound)
 * 6) Start Camtasia Recorder. Use the wizard and choose part of the screen to record with voice.
 * 7) Start recording and type or write your solution (with the mouse or graphics tablet).
 * 8) Stop recording at the end of your writing.
 * 9) Immediately produce your movie using the Screencast to Web preset.
 * 10) Upload your movie to [|Screencast.com].
 * 11) **Mac**
 * 12) Same as above but use SnapZ Pro by Ambrosia Software

>
 * Intermediate**
 * 1) Use Sizer to resize Windows to convenient sizes like 800x600 or 640x480. See Troy Stein's Sizer tutorial.
 * 2) Produce movies to other formats like CD, Pocket PC, video iPod, Sony PSP using Camtasia Studio.
 * 1) Use ExamView dynamic questions as the basis for questions.


 * Alternatives to using Camtasia Recorder:**
 * 1) Use NotateIt with its built in recorder. It will record to relatively small .wmv (Windows Media Player) media files.
 * 2) Use the SMART Recorder (it's actually the Camtasia Recorder without all of the CR's functionality) to record movies to .avi format. If you record at 1 fps with low sound and choose a video format of SMART Recorder Video (actually uses the TechSmith TSCC screen codec) this will result in very small files that are shareable even through email. You'll still really want to have Camtasia Studio to produce movies in a shareable format.
