- 1. EDIT ORDER For best results, perform edits in this this
order: Edit for bloopers If you make a mistake when talking, leave
a brief pause, and then re-record your voice during the appropriate
screen capture. When editing, it should be easy to remove the
blooper because you have space at the end of it. Edit for silence
Get rid of excess silence between takes and regular speech. Use the
slide bar to magnify the screen and clearly see the audio and video
to be edited.
2. EDITING YOUR .CAMPROJ FILE After you have listened to your
recording, you may begin Cutting. Cutting entails removing errors
(including dead air, pauses, misspeaks) from your project by
highlighting parts of the timeline in blue to be deleted. Once
highlighted, you may right click with your mouse and select Cut to
remove the section marked in blue. This area will be between the
red and green markers. Remember to save your work frequently. 3.
EDIT FOR BLOOPERS 4. REMOVE SILENCE To remove silence Do in the
same manner as removing bloopers Use the slide bar to magnify the
screen and clearly see the audio to be edited. Leave a little bit
of silence at the beginning and end of the segment you wish to
delete. If you need to delete more, you can. If you have deleted
too much, you can immediately hit Ctrl-Z to Undo. If you wish for
the green and red flags to line up again with the grey marker,
double click on the grey marker. 5. EDIT ORDER - CONTINUED Edit for
Zoom and Pan Zoom in or pan out to highlight content in the video.

would like to add a Table of Contents to a longer recording. On the
timeline, put the (gray) playhead where you want to add a marker.
Go to Edit and select Markers and Add Marker. A window with the
option to name your marker will appear. 10. TABLE OF CONTENTS After
creating several markers, marker names will be used for TOC
entries. Avoid lengthy marker names to keep TOC narrow and to avoid
truncation of names. TOC items can always be renamed in production
phase. 11. ADVANCED EDITING: SPLITTING Splitting and inserting
.Camrecs is usually done if a recorded part needs to be re-recorded
due to errors, etc. (Do not insert .Camproj) Put the place head on
