Project Chronicle - Training Videos

I first tried out Project Chronicle when if first came out. It was a little buggy but certainly something to keep watch on.

I tried it again today after downloading the latest version, they've fixed any of the problems I experienced in the earlier version. You can now download your own video,share a link in web pages, blogs, facebook, twitter, linkedin as well as email a direct link.

"The Chronicle Recording Utility allows users to capture workflows from within Autodesk products. The utility records a continuous video screen capture and optionally voice narration. What makes Chronicle unique is that is also records the timing and details of workflow information, such as the tools, settings, and dialog boxes that are used during the workflow."

If you want to try Chronicle yourself sign up for Labs and download Project Chronicle.

Try it out it's a great training took for Autodesk products as it shows the picks and clicks as you go through the exercise.

Below are links to the training videos I've done so far, there is a group of exercised I did from a session I attended at RTC 2013. The other is on Design options I did today.... it was a "one shot" recording... no fine editing done here!!

Project Chronicle

I've just been creating training videos using a new application from Autodesk Labs called Project Chronicle.

Project Chronicle is currently in Technology Preview so it's free to use from Autodesk Labs. Project Chronicle allows you to create training videos with Audio which also include a timeline of actions. 
I haven't found any bugs in it so far and I've created a series of training videos ranging from 6 to 11 minutes.

Project Chronicle allows you to record actions (workflow) in your Autodesk product such as AutoCAD and Revit. It will capture your screen along with Audio if you choose, it also displays along the bottom a timeline that highlights when you clicked on a tool etc.
Like so:

 



The Videos are then posted on the Chronicles web site under your Autodesk log in profile and you can choose whether you want the videos to be public or only accessible through a link which you can email or embed.

I'm going to include the links in the course ware I use when instructing.

Check out Project Chronicle on Autodesk Labs: http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/chronicle where you can download the program that allows you to record the video and audio.

And check out the Chronicles web site to see how the videos work.
What a great idea!

I look forward to seeing how this developed when it graduates from Autodesk Labs.
One function I hope they include in the released version is the ability to export the video into other formats so I can load the video's and include them as files with my training material.

Alive in the Lab...
