2. Select Record Screen and configure the settings in the Camtasia Recorder.
3. When you are finished capturing video, select Save and Edit.
4. Save your file to the appropriate location, and you can begin editing your video.
5. Once you’re done, select Produce and Share to launch the Production Wizard.
6. Select Lectora Output to save the video as a MP4 video file.
7. From the Insert menu, select the Video drop down. From the drop down select From File and search for the file on your computer and select Ok to add it to your title.

Once Lectora Inspire is installed on your computer you can also access Snagit at any time by selecting it from your programs. 

Please note: Lectora 16 included Camtasia version 8 while Lectora 17 included Camtasia version 9.  Lectora 18 includes Camtasia 18.
