Image to Video Maker with Camtasia Online

Camtasia Online makes it quick and easy to collaborate and add content into a video. Add a series of images, presentation slides, screen or camera recording, or a combination.

Camtasia Online automatically sizes your content to fit within our professionally-designed templates. You can change the layout scene-to-scene to find a look that best fits the content imported or recorded.

Here are a few ways to use an imported image in your Camtasia Online projects:

• Add a presentation slide or chart and record a voice over for the scene.
• Turn a series of images, such as screenshots for steps in a process, into a video. Record an optional voice over to provide more context.
• Introduce your video or scenes by adding an image as a title slide, between scenes, or as an outro.
• Mark up an image or take a screenshot and record your feedback.
• Ask a question or present a problem and have your video collaborators, such as subject matter experts, students, or coworkers, add their responses in the following scenes.
• Provide visual scene instructions for your collaborators.
