Video Learning - please advise
Mar 20, 2017
Hi,
I want to create a recorded training of an instructor, that will include:
front camera, screen camera, audio narration, questions between segements, quizzes, links/hot spots and other possible interactions. If braching video scenarios is also possible it would be great.
I would like it to be easy as possible - for recording, editing and producing.
Which way do you advise to use?
1. Create the lesson at ppt. Then record the training via Camtasia. And finally, edit the recording and add the interactions within Camtasia.
2. Create, record and edit the lesson within Storyline. But it seems that the editing options are very limited in Storyline.
Our company has license to both.
The recording will be done by a trainer and the editing by a training developer.
The producing should be done as easy and as fast as possible, but to have a good quality of video learning.
I would love to hear your opinions.
Thank you!

In the past, I've done something like this using Camtasia 08. This would integrate it all within a single MP4 and make the overall sync of all the parts(video cut ins/outs for different views, audio narration, etc. quicker.
In the end, it just depends upon the overall look/feel, the types of interactions you want to integrate and your in-house experience with the tools.
Either tool will work.

Hi,
I am storyline all the way as it my product of choice. It offers everything in one product and I haven't looked passed it.
Best of luck
To me it would depend on what type of video editing you are expecting to do. Storyline has some fairly simple tools and if you videos don't require a lot of editing are perfectly suitable. If your video editing needs are more complex you could use Camtasia to do the video editing of your front video and then insert those videos into Storyline. For quizzing and other interactive/design stuff I think SL is the way to put it all together.
You should also look at possibly using Replay. It has some clever options that might help you put this together. You should already have it as it's part of the standard Storyline install.
I would use storyline and use another video editing software for anything it was not capable of. I find the ease of building the interactions you are after to be the selling point for storyline.
Are you creating videos or voiced over animations? I think depending on your materials/content that should help you determine what to use. I would think PPT would be much more labor intensive than storyline. I am curious to know what you end up deciding and how it works for you!
