I hope that helps, as I think Excel is a great program and I definitely need to learn more features, to improve my knowledge too.If you’re creating training videos, you’re probably looking for all-in-one video editing software. I would have liked it if you dragged the new pivoted table – side by side (to the original data table) than overlaid them.

I also prefer to be able to see the whole page at once (as I watched the presentation in full screen) as the constant zooming in and out (and watching partially cropped tables, overlaid screens, etc) gave me a bit of visual stress. In the new presentation, I liked the ‘turning cube graphic’ at the start of the presentation, however I would have preferred a smaller ‘yellow ball pointer’ which didn’t over lap across other headings, so that I could focus better on which tab you were clicking on, etc. I preferred the Original video too, because whilst listening, I was also able to view the typical other ‘Excel Tabs’, and that gave me a clearer picture of where I was on the ribbon, in terms of where to find the Pivot tabs, that I would need to use on the Ribbon. _ Author Debra Dalgleish Posted on ApCategories Excel training In the poll below, please pick the features that help make the video better. Here is the revised pivot chart video, hosted on Screencast.

What do you think? Do any of the added features help? Please let me know in the comments, or in the features poll at the end of this blog post. To test my new skills, I updated a short pivot chart video that I posted recently, by adding a title clip, transition, zooms, and a couple of callouts.īelow, you can compare the original video with the updated version. Of course, there are many features that I haven’t explored, so when today’s Camtasia Studio newsletter arrived, I followed a couple of the links to their online tutorials. That surrounds the pointer with a bright yellow circle, so it’s easier for viewers to follow what I’m doing. I’m currently using Camtasia Studio 7, and use a few of its great features, like cursor highlighting. A few years ago, the nice people at TechSmith gave me a licence for Camtasia Studio, and I use it to make my Excel video tutorials.
