Adobe Presenter 9 Video Editing

[Brimus]

I have a question for anyone who can answer this:

Would Adobe Presenter 9 allow me to take a longer video and cut it up into smaller pieces to incorporate into a presentation? I have a slide deck being used in conjunction with recorded Instructor-Led Training. The recording for the ILT I believe is going to be one, continuous recording that lasts approximately 4 hours long. I need to be able to go in, cut out the pieces of the recording I need, and put them into my presentation to correspond to the slides. Will Adobe Presenter 9 allow me to do this level of editing?

No, Presenter doesn't have any video editing functionality worth mentioning. The little bit it does have is not going to help you. I would recommend that you look at a video editing tool to make the breaks in the full recording and then import the clips using Presenter. I'm sure that there are many free or low cost options. I personally like the AVS suite of tools, as they cost $59 for a lifetime of upgrades and support. AVS4YOU Top-ranked multimedia tools. Don't let the sale fool you, I've never not seen it on sale.

Would Camtasia studio be a viable option for editing videos to import into Adobe Presenter 9?

I would give it a definite maybe. I've not used their video editing function. However it could work or it could be for screen captures done with Camtasia. Since you can do a free trial, I'd say install it and see if it works. If nothing else, you can let us know if it does or doesn't work.
