How to Create Animated Gif Using Camtasia Studio

0 comments

Have you ever seen moving pictures online and wondered how they are made? Heres how to make a basic GIF picture with Camtasia Studio.
 
What is Camtasia Studio?
Camtasia Studio is an advanced screen video recorder from TechSmith® which has edit, produce, and many more options to enhance your video, all in one program. One of the producing options in this program is GIF for a recorded video, which we will be learning about.
 
How to start
Well first of all, download Camtasia Studio 7.0. There is a 30-day trial version that you can use but also i give out the full version registration code, so download one of these programs and install it on your PC. After you open Camtasia Studio, getting to know your interface would be helpful in the long road, but it’s not necessary.
 
Recording your video
Notice when you first open the program, a window pops up showing 4 options, one being “Record the Screen.” I have illustrated it here:

Or you can click on “Record the Screen” in the task list of the interface.

The next step is self-explanatory, you choose the area you want to record or you choose the whole screen, depends on what you want, then start recording after the 3-second countdown. Stop by pushing F10 or the “Stop” button

Producing it into a GIF animation
After you finish recording your video, a preview appears and in the corner there are 3 options:
Save and Edit, Delete, and Produce.

4

Click on Produce, save your video, and choose “Custom Production Settings” from the drop-down list and click “Next”.

5

Then comes the Output format screen, which has lots of formats, GIF being one of them, choose it:

6

Then click Next on all the following screens, as they are not necessary. You may edit some forms for modified animations but I won’t go there. (On the last form is the name of the video so you should change that.) After clicking Finish on the last screen, it will start converting.

7 
Now this will take some time depending on the length of the video (40 seconds is more than enough). Lagging occurs when the video exceeds 35-40 seconds.And you are done! Your video is now gonna play in picture format, so you can send it to your cell-phone, upload it to your website in the format of a picture!

Windows Live Programs

0 comments
Windows Live is the best online service for email and messenger. This is software you need to download and install. You shall get a lot of services from windows live. It is a free service created by Microsoft. But there are many features that you will need to pay for like the Windows Live Call, which is something like Skype.

Windows Live Mail is the most important application. We can compare it to Outlook Express. It features email, contacts and calendar services. I really like this program. It is better than any other mail client, with a nice user interface. We can use Gmail, Hotmail and any other email services which supports POP and IMAP like the Yahoo mail.


Windows Live Hotmail is the email service that can be used with any Windows Live Service. You only need to create one Hotmail account and use it anywhere on Microsoft website.

Windows Live Messenger is the messenger which has a lot of features. But it lacks the chat room service like that in Yahoo Messenger. But I really am against chat rooms. You won't find one nice person there. Always there will be more than one person typing and doing crazy things.
Windows Live Call works as a part of Make PC-to-PC voice / video calls to your Messenger contacts.

Windows Live Movie Maker is an application to easily create your own movies by using pictures, music, and videos you have. The software is erally good.

There are a lot of other services too, which are being developed as a part. Windows Live Photo Gallery helps you share pictures. Skydrive offers free file sharing up to 5 GB and the size is being increased.

Windows Live Onecare is an anti virus. But it is not free. I have been using a version of this antivirus from Microsoft and have never been in trouble with a virus. The main feature of this antivirus is that it won’t report that a file is a virus un-necessarily. Almost all other anti viruses (excluding McAfee) finds many viruses that are actually not viruses. Live OneCare Family safety is a feature that can be installed to create custom settings for different users on your computer so that they can be protected against illegal and unnecessary content from the internet, including websites and people in the internet.
