I copied all your steps and came up with a great result with my own logo learning heaps along the way. I will see what other suggestions I can find for you to use as projects.
@@Graphicious I saw that at the end. Great tutorial. Long one but if you spend time on creating 1 asset it is easy and fast to duplicate in future productions. That is why I don’t mind the long form videos. It is a force multiplier.
Hey Cristi, is it possible in Camtasia to do a horizontal scroll of text on the screen? Like when you watch a news channel there is a bar at the bottom of the screen with news updates.
Many thanks also for watching my channel. Did you know I have a new Camtasia support group where I answer questions personally? Feel free to join us if you want: cotovan.com/group
Hi Scott, I don't think there should be a massive learning curve in this transition from Windows to Mac. Techsmith seems to favor the Windows variant more, because it seems to have more features and more polished, but for the features that the Mac version does have, they should behave pretty much the same way. And the interface is almost identical. Feature parity is an issue, as some things are missing or different, but nothing in a major way. If you already have projects that you created on Windows and want to open on Mac, you must go to the Windows version and export those projects 'for Mac'. Then you should be able to open them. Are there any problems you have encountered with the Mac version that are not solvable yet?
Hey Cristi, The logo animation you created in this video is AMAZING!! Have you done a video showing how to play video in reverse with Camtasia? I've been interested in that feature for years but, other than getting some other editing software to reverse individual clips to be imported into Camtasia, haven't seen anything. I'm glad to have discovered a true Camtasia guru... thanks for your excellent Camtasia content! Best, Matt Next Level Carpentry on CZcams
Hi Matt, thank you for your kind feedback! Unfortunately, Camtasia does not do reverse video yet. I know a lot of people ask for that functionality but they have not added it yet. Maybe it makes it into Camtasia 2022, who knows? In the meantime, like you, I also use external tools when I need that but it's quite rare as I don't need it that much. Just curious, what scenarios would you need the video reverse functionality?
@@Graphicious I was playing around with reverse video for projects like this: czcams.com/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/video.html I obviously need more practice producing the clips to be reversed but, since the reversing process is so cludgy outside Camtasia, gave up on the idea. Here's another one that shows potential IMHO but, lacking ability to iterate efficiently, is still pretty rough: czcams.com/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/video.html Thanks for your 'interest' in this obscure feature...
To save some time and needing to watch the whole two videos at 10 PM, could you indicate the timestamp where you have the reversed segments? I can't see it.
@@Graphicious Sure... should have already done that for you! Immediately after I snap my fingers at this point I transition between forward video and reverse: czcams.com/video/TYQaauKEPVI/video.html One problem I was having was degradation of image quality because it ended up more pixelated after going though the reversing process... reversing seems like such a simple thing to do from a coding standpoint that I've been surprised that Camtasia hasn't added it as an upgrade by now. BTW there's no urgency to my question here so don't throw off you schedule on my behalf, OK? 😎
Hi Cristi your all videos very helpful. i am using camtasia 2021 but motion blur option is not working. I dont know what's problem I am using good system with 2gb graphic card. Can u please help me?
Thank you! I just tested and the motion blur effect requires 3D graphics hardware. If your hardware acceleration is turned off or you don't have a good graphics card, it won't work. Go to Edit > Settings > Advanced and make sure the graphics card is on. Restart Camtasia and then see if it works. If you only see "software-only mode" or that's the setting, it won't work.
Everything works great - except I have a background on my logo, and I can't for the life of me get rid of it. The Png I used did NOT have a background, so what did I miss? Can't I save the project as an mp4 and use it on other videos without a background?
Did you perhaps add a background to the logo group by mistake? Like an annotation? I can't say without seeing what's in there. As far as exporting, Camtasia does not support exporting video without background (with alpha channel). You can maybe try to set a bright green background for the whole video, export it like that from Camtasia, then use the green screen removal tool in the other application to remove it (if it has it). That's one thing I wish Camtasia did.
Do you mean you want to export with transparent background so you can put the video on top of something else? I’m afraid Camtasia can’t export video with Alpha channel. Maybe make the background green like the chromakey and remove it in your other software?
Weird, I am not using the Mac version so I didn't check if this was available. What happens if you drag the replacement logo on the timeline, on top of the existing one, does it offer to replace it there?
@@Graphicious Aha. Good shout. Yes, when I drag the new image onto clip I get 2 options: Replace / Ripple Replace. Cheers! Just signed up to your FB group.
@@Graphicious The Shift trick you do on both ends of Fade at 29:10 doesn't work for me. I tried researching what the Mac equivalent might be but no luck.

This is so cool! Nice work. 👏
Thanks a lot!

Fantastic! I wasn't sure if the video wasn't too long but I guess it also helps to explain some things in more depth along the way.
Thanks Cristi...took me a couple of times to get it right, but turned out great!
Wonderful! Glad it worked.
I am going to try to add this to my upcoming videos, not for a logo but on a graphic during the hook on my open. Great work on this one.
Go for it! It's easy to replace whatever you want inside of the animation.
@@Graphicious I saw that at the end. Great tutorial. Long one but if you spend time on creating 1 asset it is easy and fast to duplicate in future productions. That is why I don’t mind the long form videos. It is a force multiplier.
Can't wait to do this on my logo!
Good luck!
Great instruction video and well explained!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent! I've used Camtasia for years, but you are teaching me so many new concepts and effects. Thanks so much.
Happy to hear that! Thank you for your kind feedback! I'm editing a cool video right now, due tomorrow :)
Hey Cristi, is it possible in Camtasia to do a horizontal scroll of text on the screen? Like when you watch a news channel there is a bar at the bottom of the screen with news updates.
Yes, it’s called a ‘chyron’ I think, it has been on my to do list for a long time. I might do it soon
thank you! it will take me a while to get it right once it is done i can see how cool it will be!
You can do it!
Wonderful!
Glad you like it!
Thank you
You're welcome

I would love a video of moving from Camtasia Windows to Camtasia Mac. Is there an easier way? What do I need to know to flatten the learning curve.
Hi Scott, I don't think there should be a massive learning curve in this transition from Windows to Mac.

Looks very nice.
Thank you
So intersting, I really like the way you make it like a 3d logo 😊🌸
