And if you do, here are some tips to get good, clean recordings: To avoid all the conversion and webcam problems, just use the Camtasia Studio Recorder or even TechSmith’s Snagit to record your webinars. The final straw was this past Friday when we had a group of Panelists all sharing their webcam and none of the Panelists videos showed up in the GTW recording.When I tried to go back to converting my webinars in Handbrake they would now come out with weird streaks in them.Not so good for anyone trying to do a software demo. The mp4 that GoToWebinar puts out now comes out without the mouse pointer.But, unfortunately this happened instead: Hey, an extra ten minutes times 3 webinars per week times 30 weeks of webinars gets me 15 hours of my life back. Last month GoToWebinar switched to a new video converter and I had high hopes that I might not have to convert my webinars at all. It takes an extra ten minutes to do this but it has been my routine for the last year and has never let me down. This is easily done using the Handbrake tool.

But, Camtasia doesn’t like the GTW recording and won’t produce it so I have to convert it first into something Camtasia does like (an MP4). Most of the time the webinar needs some editing in Camtasia. As long as I remember to do this I have never failed to get a decent one.

Recording the webinar itself just requires pushing the “Record” button in the GoToWebinar Panel. I’ve been using the GoToWebinar softwareto record our sessions and the recordings have come out very well for me all year.

It’s been an interesting time for me as I get to watch all the presentations on using social media, writing great emails, setting goals and networking. It’s Time to Go Back to Camtasia to Record My GoToWebinarsĪbout a year ago I was contracted to record a series of webinars for an organization whose audience is MBA students looking for a permanent job.
