Callouts December 2014, Holiday Presentation Resources
Happy Holidays! December is here and we are closing in on the Holidays. We have loaded up with a bunch of new resources related to Christmas and the Holidays that I hope you’ll find very useful.
We got the first suggestion on our suggestion page on Uservoice by cjictraining and we have now created her suggested videos. Cjictraining wanted “Where” videos to be added to the new series of Who, What… whiteboard animations so we made them. Thanks for the great suggestion! Check out the new whiteboard videos below and if you have suggestions for more resources, please post your presentation resource suggestions here.
OK, we have a lot of resources to present, so let’s get started.
If you aren’t currently a member of Callouts, you can join here and access all presentation resources.
Monthly Bonus 1: SuperStamps Christmas Collection
160 Christmas related stamps you can use directly in Snagit, Camtasia and most other business, video or graphics software.
Inspired by the festive season we put together a collection including more than 160 Christmas and Winter Holiday related icons and stamps.
The stamps are around 500×500 pixels large, in transparent png format so you can place them on any surface. We also have some greeting cards included in jpg format.
Check out and download the SuperStamps Christmas Collection here.
Monthly Bonus 2: Christmas Holiday Instrumental Music Collection
80 Megabytes of Holiday & Christmas Instrumental Music Tracks!
Just in time for the holiday season, instantly add that “seasonal glow” to all your multimedia productions with any of these professional and “all original” music background tracks.
You’ll find the usual orchestral flare has been added to each hand-crafted creation. And right from the very first var (that’s four beats for the non-music types) you’ll immediately know it’s Christmas/Holiday times!
Listen to samples and download the entire collection here.
New Why, Who, What, When, How and Where? Whiteboard Animations
We have added additional whiteboard animation videos this month, with the clear messages Who, What, Why, When, How and Where.
No less than 21 new videos. You can choose between 3 colors and with a hand writing the message or only the text without a hand showing.
I love creating these, so if you have wishes of more videos you need for your presentations, please do make a suggestion here.

Camtasia Animations & Effects Volume 8, Speech Bubbles
This is our 8th collection of Camtasia Project Template files! In this collection you find no less than 10 new Camtasia Library files ready to be dragged-and-dropped right into your Camtasia projects.
This collection features 8 templates with unique new Speech bubbles plus two videos with a cartoon character. Install them into Camtasia Studio, then drag-and-drop them over your video cuts to create cool, new, never before seen speech bubbles.
Check out the video showcasing the 10 new bubbles:

Coming in January
We are currently working on the ninth installment of the Camtasia animation effects.We are developing several concepts around this, but at the time of this writing I think we will focus on basic text animations again in the 9th installment. But nothing is written in stone, so if you have suggestions, please suggest new resources here.
Here are a few examples of the many new resources coming in January 2015.
See you soon 😉
