About editing projects
After recording a project, you have many options for enhancing the project so it is as informative
and interesting for viewers as possible. You can add text captions to point out important areas on
a slide or use a highlight box instead. You can make projects interactive by including click boxes
or text entry boxes. You can add the element of sound to projects by importing background music
or record a voice-over narration track. You can experiment with different options to incorporate
the most appropriate elements into your projects.
