So, in a valiant attempt to find something other than Camtasia to record something off my screen, I went back to CamStudio and gave it a second try, but it falls short. Specifically, audio gets mangled for no apparent reason in the middle of a recording.
It dawned on me, earlier this afternoon, that audio is paramount for online presentations such as the ones I want to make, especially if such audio accompanies a PowerPoint presentation in which the use of animations is quite limited.
I actually did create and upload a short video to get some feedback, and so far, the principal comment has to do with the quality of the sound.
As it turns out, I actually have some reasonably good microphones, but I find it almost impossible to get any kind of reasonable voice track through my computer. The best I can hope for, apparently, is to filter out the hiss after the recording is done. Maybe this is a function of my computer; I plan on doing some voice recording using a different computer.
The lightning promised for last night did not materialize to the extent the late news led us to believe, and now, all of the nasty stuff promised for today has also, for the most part, not shown up.
I guess that means I should go button things up and check the forecast again.
And get ready for tai chi.
UPDATE: According to the folks at Udemy, the problem is not my computer or my microphone, but the "studio" in which I'm recording. I've managed to kill some of the hiss and echo using a program called Audacity, but they suggest soundproofing as a better alternative.
