This video by Liz du Plessis, Instructional Designer in Distance Ed, demonstrates how to edit your video with the Pro version of Screencast-o-matic. Topics include how to cut, copy, and paste segments of video; adding image overlays; and re-recording sections of narration or video so that you don’t have re-record entire videos to make changes.

Topics include how to use free Screecast-o-matic recording tools as well as features that come with the Pro version. Liz shows two approaches for recording a slideshow: With the first approach, you record voice-overs and your slides simultaneously with the free version of Screencast-o-matic. With the second approach, you use the Pro version to record audio and slides in segments for a more polished result.

In part 1 of our series Create a Video Slideshow, learn how to take slides created with PowerPoint or other presentation software and turn them into an effective video with your voice-overs and closed captioning for students to watch in Canvas.

Part 1 includes how to prepare slides for effective videos that are targeted on learning goals, use visual cues, and have a strong instructor presence.
