Lunch & Learn Series

Basic video editing with Camtasia by Duncan McHugh

This session will be held on Friday, July 9, 2021 at noon.

Although Camtasia is billed as a screen recorder, it is also useful as a basic video editing program. Need to record a lecture or a presentation? Want to trim or remove a section from a Zoom video? Want to integrate simple graphics or stitch together multiple clips or photos? Camtasia can manage all of these tasks and it’s free for UBC students, faculty and staff. Duncan will do a live demo over Zoom and answer any questions you may have, and offer alternatives if you want to go beyond Camtasia.
