How To Create Camtasia Videos

Ryan Eash from TechSmith created a very detailed video that covers the process he uses to create videos using Camtasia. The video can be found at http://www.screencast.com/t/0xQgD2IMe4D3. This is one of the most informative videos I've seen on this process and it is well worth the 30 minutes to watch it.
