Hi this is Russell snow from teacher training videos calm and what I'm going to do in this
set of videos very quick set of videos I'm going to show you how to add subtitles onto your videos
using Camtasia 9 so let's get straight into it so what do I mean by captions were just very quickly
to show you what I've done is I've actually added some captions onto the screen here so I just move
that playhead back when this video starts you'll see that there are various captions like until
if you log on and you see that US captions day-out course and then there's some exceptions there code
to get in what we did was basically just work and I can kind of add captions at any point so
that's basically what I mean by captions what I'm going to quickly do now is start from the
beginning and show you how you can do that ok so I'm going to bring a video onto the screen
so I've already imported the video I'm going to bring it onto the screen and the best way to do
this in my experience is to add markers onto the screen because markers can help you to pinpoint
where you want to add your captions you don't have to do this there are quicker ways of working but
this does generally help you a lot so I want to do is I'm going to play the video and if you log on
in fact I'm going to have to add a marker straight from the beginning because really are definitely
going to want a marker at the beginning because I'm going to start with some subtitles straight
away so all I'm doing now is choosing the moments where I want to add the subtitles so one way of
adding a market is to press shift M and that will add a marker onto the screen now I was
just adding markers a bit early so I'm just going to call this I'm going to give it a little title
just to help me so on the right introduction so just to remember exactly what I want to put
there now I'm going to play a little bit more of the videos ahead model you'll find our course and
you've got here the code to get in okay so that might be another good place to to put a marker
and what I'm going to do this time is I'm just going to click and that will also add a marker
and I'm going to call that code because I'm going to write a little bit of subtitles about the code
I'll just do one more for you so just click again what we did was basically just work through some
of the exercises here so there was a chance to do a quiz okay so there's a mention of a quiz there
now another way that you can actually do this if I remember quietly is I think we can click on one
of these ones here yes here and we can actually add a marker to the timeline this way as well I
rarely do that okay but this one here I'm going to write quiz so we've already now kind of got
our points where we want to add our markers and obviously I would work through the rest of the
video as I said I'm kind of trying to show you a really good way of working now one of the tricks
is that once you've done that you can actually use these buttons here now to jump to kind of
different points in your screens so I'm going to start by jumping to my first marker so I click on
this button here and it will bring me forward to the first marker hopefully I'm not sure if
it does that actually but anyway I'm just going to bring it for this I'm at the position of the first
marker and here I just want to add an introduction so I'm going to click on captions and I'm going to
click on add caption you notice that it opens up this button here and now I can start writing
and then I'm going to just say this is the IDI model interface okay now what I'm going to do is
move to the next marker okay and the next caption I'm going to add at this point okay is going to
say because I've got it on there here is the code and now you can see why I put that little kind of
reminder in of what caption I want to add here I don't even need to listen again because I've
already listened and I know what I want to add at each point now I'm going to bring again to
the next marker and again here add caption and I'm going to add my next caption which is going to say
here is where you do the quizzes okay I'll just add those free I'm just going to leave it like
that now I'm going to come bring a blur playhead back to the beginning and just click and you'll
see what's happened if you log on to it model you'll find our course and you've got here the
code to get in what we did was basically just work through some of the exercises here so there was
a chance to do a quiz and there was a chance to basically to share pictures on the screen okay now
one other little thing about adding markers onto the screen and that is that you can if you want
that too but so you're not markers the captions on you can make them longer so if you kind of
was watching the video and you thought well I need that on for longer you can drag them out and make
them longer so that's the key to doing captions first of all add the markers of course you can
do it without that you can add a caption at any point I could just play the video to share some
get to a certain point and say add caption from there and then just simply write my caption in
but it is best to play it through put your markers into position and then add your captions so that
you know that they're in a precise position where you need them there are are lots of other ways of
working you can always come in as well and kind of click in edit your mark own I was edit it from
here so you can always come back onto your markers at any time because as you add your markers you'll
see the sorry as you add your captions you'll see that they're going to be here at the top
of the screen but that is basically how you add captions to your videos I hope you found those
videos useful please come to the teacher training videos website to find more videos as a newsletter
that you can sign up to if you want that's got about twenty-five thousand subscribers now but
if not just close it down and you've got all this learning content here very popular sections are
the five-minute blogs where I just do very short quick videos that show you different technologies
and how they work for those of you interested in Camtasia there's a special section of Camtasia
training videos as well you might find that very interesting and also there is a section here
called top to all videos it's the most popular section where you'll see me highlighting the
most popular technologies that have been used in teaching and learning and thank you ever so much
