What are the advantages of the recording room?

The recording room allows you to:

• record in a well-lit environment with controlled lighting,
• record in a sound-damped location with a professional microphone,
• use an interactive pen display (a screen with pen input), and/or
• use a green screen for simple chroma keying.

Can I use my own laptop for recording?

We highly discourage recording on your own laptop.

We encourage you to record with the equipment in the recording room, save the files to a thumbdrive or hard disk, then edit on your own computer outside of the recording room.

Can I edit in the recording room?

The recording room has equipment that is set up primarily for recording. While the software on the recording room's PC can be used for editing, we encourage you to edit on your computer in your office or at home. It will be unfair to other users who want to the facility for recording if you are using the room for editing, which can be done elsewhere.

Please contact Brenda Tamilchelvi - citsec@nus.edu.sg - if you need a licence for Camtasia Studio (Windows) or Camtasia for Mac.

I use a Mac, but the recording room only has a PC. Can I still record there?

Yes, you can record in the recording room. Camtasia Studio records in .trec format. This recording format can be edited in Camtasia for Mac.

I need to demonstrate software that is not available on the recording room computer. What can I do?

We recommend that you use Remote Desktop to log in to your office computer. You can demonstrate the software and record the screen that way.
