As mentioned earlier, Camtasia Studio is a nonlinear editor. Ironically, the process of placing items on the timeline in their correct order is very much linear in nature. Items are placed on the timeline in a linear order with an eye on the "clock," the time codes associated with these items. Timing will be very important in creating your e-learning video project. There is more about time codes in a later section.
Earlier I stressed the importance of paying attention to recording, editing, and production dimensions. There is an easy way to set the correct dimensions for your e-learning video project at the outset. After placing a video on the timeline in a Camtasia project, I recommend setting editing dimensions at the same time. In this Try it exercise, you will place a video file on the timeline and set editing dimensions. Then you will place an audio file on the timeline.
