This Camtasia project is a demo of editing an existing video. The topic was a book summary of Flow, by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly. The amazing original video can be found here, on the Fight Mediocrity YouTube channel.
In this project, I added captions and several graphic elements to augment the existing video. I have listed some of the additions below the video.
Here are a few ways I used Camtasia to improve an existing video:
- Callouts
- Icons & graphics
- Focus areas
- Altered the Sound for emphasis
- Added closed captioning to all
Here are some images to show a few of the changes I made:

These are just a few of the ways that I used Camtasia to leverage Multimedia Theory (words + graphics) and increase engagement.
So, what do you think?
