    HANK YOU VERY MUCH CRISTI ON YOUR GREAT VIDEOS. I LEARN FROM YOU SO MUCHT. I HAVE A GREAT ISSUE WITH THE CAMTASIA 2023 SCREEN RECORDER AND NOBODY IN THE SUPPORT SOLVED IT. I CERTAINLY THINK IT IS A BUG IN THE SCREEN RECORDER BECAUSE IN THE OLDER VERSION I HAD (IN CAMTASIA 9) EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. WHEN I RECORD MY WORK FROM ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR IT DOES THE WORK BUT WHEN I START EDITING IN THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE PLAYING IT DAMAGES ALL THE COLORS. MAYBE YOU CAN SOLVE IT? THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH.

      Hi Ilana, that sounds like a challenging one, particularly if the support team couldn't solve it. When you say "damages all the colors", what do you mean, like they look washed out, or super saturated and broken? Maybe it's a GPU issue, do you have your drives up to date for your graphics adapter? I can't provide much more info without more background. Have you tried on a different computer?

If it's something that you purchased on Amazon the model or the items you use to prop up your green screen behind you would be most appreciated.

      @artwarrenlaw I used to have a roll up greenscreen from Amazon. However, that was not wide enough, and my camera had a bit of a wide angle. This meant I was always capturing beyond the edges of the greenscreen or I had to have the greenscreen so close to me that it was literally sitting on my back! Then I painted the wall behind me green. Problem solved!
