**2.4.7 Making video tutorials using the Camtasia software**

Camtasia is one of the applications that can be used to make a video tutorial. TechSmith produces it. Video tutorials created with Camtasia assists in creating demonstration videos by recording computer screen activities. For example, one could video record the screen as they type. Even though Camtasia is fairly user friendly, some video editing skills are necessary.

A definition of the notion of "E-design" could be "the design process that occurs on the Internet with the help of the computer". The E-design concept is starting to be better known and used, even though for the moment it is only more prominent in the design and consultation sites in the field of arts and architecture. E-technological equipment in the

The adaptation of the methods and techniques of creative design for the network involves the establishment of working procedures, the enabling of the design (e.g. Cutting tools) in an innovative way, as soon as possible. That should, however, not hinder the work of the designer (expert), but rather it should facilitate and enable the participation of the consumer,

After recording the screen activity, Camtasia stores the recording on its editing environment. During the editing stage it is possible to add narration, music, photos or other movie elements. Finally the finished video tutorial can be saved - either on a CD or DVD, or, it can be uploaded on a website for online access.
