Pentext's Using SoundBooth audio for Captivate, Camtasia, and iSpring Training Videos course is designed to teach you to use Soundboot to record, edit and import audio into various training video development tools.


What you get
We start at the script development phase, where you design your script to ensure effecient audio recording, editing, rendering, and audio import into your development tool of choice.

Then we help you to understand how to setup, organize and use your microphone within your current location, and specific to your voice talent that you are working with.

Once we complete a recording, editing and rendering session, we work throught the import of audio in a real project, as you would a real working project.

Overview
All courses are specific to your corporate needs. That means that one of our instructors will work with you (or your team) specifically; you will never be in a training group with participants from any other company. We work through the course using your content or deliverable, as part of the exercise. That way, after the course, you already have some or all of your project complete. You can also contact your instructor for six months after the course is complete for full support.
