I used Camtasia for recording and editing.
The biggest challenge for me was organizing the material in a way that would be easy to understand and explain things at the right level. It is easy to get to detailed, and also easy to miss important points.
Once I clearly know what I am going to teach and how, recording and editing takes time, but isn’t quite as difficult.
It definitely takes some practice though. I am on course 28 now and I am still learning. 🙂

Hi, It was great to know the experience from the expert. I also want to create a tutorial for C programming, can you please help me in that like
what is the tool you used for pluralsight?
How u did the editing?
And most importantly what was the real challenge during the 6 hours( teaching, recording, changing the software, or editing etc)

Thanks for you help and sharing your experience.

regards,
Ashish

Hi… a quick question… which screen-capturing software did you use to make this course?

I’m also profoundly deaf, so it’s crucial that these training videos be captioned or have associated transcripts otherwise some of your readers/viewers will miss out.

Having alternative formats would be beneficial for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, or English is their second language.

Hmmm…. well that’s unfortunate. Looks like they got rid of a really good feature. Thanks for looking into it for me, I think I’ll just use the Outline component then.

Well, I checked it out on my VM. (I have a new VM that I am using now, the records were done on my previous.)
On this VM I have Helios, but I am pretty sure that is what I had on the other. The difference that I can think of is the new version of the ADT.
Apparently they got rid of this feature in the newer ADT. Looks like it was rewritten entirely.
My guess is now since they added an outline view, they are expecting that you would use that an click on the element you are interested in, which will then show an outline for that element.
I also found if I draw a box around the whole screen with my mouse that I can see all the borders. Not sure if I like this change. Seems like I would still rather have a grid view.
I’ll keep checking, but I can’t find any information on this anywhere.

Hello John,

Still no luck! It has to be a toolbar item, but I can’t figure out how to turn it on. Or maybe this isn’t a standard feature in Helios, but I don’t know why they’d leave out such a helpful item. I have Helios on my PC and laptop, and neither one has these buttons. Which version of Eclipse do you use, maybe I should download a different version and see if it has those toggle switches?

Thanks, James

In reply to James Moore. Hi James, Any luck finding this? I just got back home yesterday, but I will take a look in my IDE today. I am wondering if there is a toolbar or something that needs to be turned on.

In reply to Xander Hurley. I Xander, thanks for making me aware of this. I will talk with my contacts at Pluralsight about this.
