I copied the instructions as per the post, it is as simple as dragging and dropping the functions you require, changing a few of the options and saving it as an application. Then I found this post explaining how it could be done using Automator. I knew I could export a page of a PDF to an image using Preview, however, it does one images at a time, not great when someone has 40+ slides! Lot’s of commercial tools came up in my results, but as this is currently a one of for me, I didn’t want to pay for something. I discovered this tool while googling a specific issue I was facing, which was converting speakers slides in PDF format to Images, so I can edit them in to the video. If you have a Mac and never explored this tool, I encourage you to open it and take a look, you could create some really interesting workflows.

I’d never heard of this before today, but it’s provided by Apple and it allows you to create your own little apps/batch jobs/workflows on MacOS by combining existing functions available in MacOS applications.

I didn’t expect to find myself creating some awesome automation to help me, but I did! Now, I’ve never edited conference videos, but I’ve recorded and edited lots of training material for YouTube and The Dojo, so, I wanted to give it a go, to see if I can learn more about Camtasia and the process as a whole. So, I’m currently editing some videos for a conference that Ministry of Testing sponsored, this is a great new initiative which I’ll write about on MoT soon.
