I love Camtasia. I purchased it because I wanted to make interactive instruction video's. Now that I have it and experienced using it, I use it for most of my video/animation projects. The UI is so easy to use. It's amazing how fast you can do complex animations with such a simple interface. I would like to see more video effects added in the future. Just some cool and funky filters to spice things up a little. Also more styles of arrows and other shapes to choose from. I didn't know about the shift + drag/select function. This little trick will speed up my workflow even more!
Camtasia is so affordable, simple and loaded with ton of features... people underestimate it but the developers can add some more stuff to make it better, but I'm still loving it currently.
Please consider those who need to read captions in your future videos. Your captions were right on top of the timeline, blocking out some of the most important demonstrations. Thank you!
In CZcams you can actually click and drag the captions into another area of the video to make the timeline more visible. This is a constant struggle we face as our actions often take place in the lower part of the screen. When we've decreased space in the past to allow for captions people said it became too small. So thankfully, CZcams captions can be moved to a more convenient location!
This is the most helpful video i've watched. I've been trying to figure out how to move the pictures according to what i want but among all that i have watched this is the best! Thank you.
this is the best and simplest editing software it took me about 1-3 years to learn this and im making some good videos i mean this software is amazing ngl like it should be better than Premiere pro because Premiere is much compliacted
for the life of me I couldn't get this to work until realized that those three dots with two arrows in the upper left hand corner of the properties sidebar have to be set to no color. so if yours are colored in you need to click that them and they should all grey out then you can do a start and stop position and grow or what ever you want. He should totally mention this critical point in doing animations.
Hi Camtasia people. I have a question, how do I have an image on the timeline move around? For example, I am trying to cover a face up with an image and the person is constantly moving. How would I have the image cover up the face while the person moves? Also, I love Camtasia!
Glad to hear you are enjoying Camtasia! I don't believe there is a built-in, animated way to accomplish this, but there may be a workaround...our support team may have a suggestion for this. You can submit a ticket here: support.techsmith.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
i think there's an issue with your software. if i started out making something in a low resolution, how could i increase the content resolution? i don't want to re-animate everything. if i was to try zoom/scale at the beginning of everything, all the animations undo it. can this be fixed???
If you are trying to make the color/size and/or font change during an animation, apply a custom animation, and the then at the end of the animation indicator (arrow on the timeline) make the changes to your color/size/font. If you just want to make changes to annotations, use the properties panel on the right side of the screen, just above the timeline.
Do you actually edit these videos with camtasia itself? I dont wanna sound stupid or anything but in the beginning the green bars sliding around, i dont know how to do that
This was with Camtasia, yes. The effect with the green bars sliding in the beginning was likely created using behaviors. You can learn more about that at this link: www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-9-3-transitions-annotations-behaviors.html
I need help. In this video, as I can see, right next to "animations" there's a zoom and pan bar and on my mac there is not. So, is actually the zoom and pan feature available on the camtasia 3 or what?
You cannot create a waveform / audio spectrum video in Camtasia, however if you create a video in another program that is a compatible file format with Camtasia (MP4, for example) you can import it to use in your Camtasia project. Hope this helps! :)
I would build the animation, take those files, and use the group feature. Make sure that your animation ends where it started, so theirs no weird jumping points. Take that group, copy it and paste it, so you have multiple, across your timeline. Make sure again, that they end and start at the same place, and there is no space between your animated logo on the timeline to make it a seamless playback.
I am new to Camtasia (have it since yesterday) and need help. If I have an object on track 1 and an object on track 2, and I want to move the object of track 1, but I automatically jump to track 2 and can only move the object there. It would be nice if you or anyone could help me.
A zoom and pan is changing the size of the video & x, y coordinates. You will want to apply a custom animation. Drag the custom animation to the timeline (it adds to the current play head location). Anything before the animation is the starting point (and size). Anything after the animation is the end point (and size).
Hey Techsmith, Can I know how to make a fake sliding effect with Camatsia 9..I mean..I wanna show an unboxing of a product on my channel so I need to show that product..from left to right like a sliding effect..You know..I could have used another products but Camatsia is simple and easy!
Hello, are you talking about a transition that you'd like to use? We have several options for transitions in Camtasia: www.screencast.com/t/5XLr65hj2Q24
I'm not sure that Camtasia is going to do what you want. You could find a static image/video and bring it into camtasia and layer it - but I think this will difficult at best. I think you might need to either find a template or use a different program.
What other sort of media are you trying to add animations to? If you are having issues, you can reach our tech support team by submitting a ticket at this link: bit.ly/ts-gethelp
You might try checking with our tech support team, to find out what Mac OS would be compatible. Here is a link where you can submit a ticket: bit.ly/ts-gethelp
Well, the question is that when i add an animation is camtasia studio 9 right? there is an animation on it, and i want it to instant zoom to the location, no animation at all :)
You can go to Animations, then select "Zoom and Pan". The default would be to have it all the way zoomed in, but you can drag to adjust to have it gradually zoom in if you'd like. If you have any trouble, you can reach our tech support team at this link: bit.ly/ts-gethelp
Version 9 won't work on a 32-bit computer, but you can downgrade to version 8, which you can install from this link: www.techsmith.com/download/oldversions If you decide to purchase a copy of Camtasia, you'd be entitled to v. 9, but could use your softaware key to unlock version 8.
TechSmith - The dials on the animation portion that moves the items in x,y,z axii are very difficult to control since they are so tiny. Is there a simpler way other than randomly typing in numbers in the number boxes for that? Don't believe that custom behaviors could do anything with facial / motion tracking. Are there addons somewhere that can do this? I've looked but cannot find any. It seems like a very useful thing people would want that things like Adobe Premier Pro has. I don't want to have to learn that new software just for facial or motion tracking. The custom animations work to an extent, but I have to step through frames and keep messing with those tiny dials or punching in numbers until the frame is properly setup. It would be easier if I could select a few pixel clusters and attack that to points on the images I want to follow and move around with. Like three points or something.
NOW if you can only Make the Mouse Show UP on the Video After your Done Recording' Because it Doesnt Work for ME' This Video will Show you the Problem. czcams.com/video/_67x-SHhyj8/video.html
The cursor isn't showing up because you're extracting the recording contents--Camtasia will capture the mouse in its own layer, which is “above” the AVI. So if you add the t-rec to the timeline, then produce to AVI, then it will be in the video. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to our tech support team at this link: bit.ly/ts-gethelp

No problem! We understand what it's like to be frustrated. This information might be helpful; it highlights the changes between version 8 and 9: support.techsmith.com/hc/en-us/articles/227109847--Camtasia-8-to-9-Where-is-it-now- Let us know if there's anything we can help with!

I like Camtasia Studio because it is the simplest advanced editing software I could find.
So glad to hear that!
You responded. :D I'm so happy. You made my day.
CodeName420 i love it too! editing is more of a hobby of mine and its really convenient how simple camtasia is to work with.
CodeName420 I agree it’s really easy to use a bit harder than flimora but flimora doesn’t have as much stuff as this.
Me too

Thank you very much techsmith!
We're glad you like it! Thanks for saying so!
Please add a reverse video option in our next camtasia updated version. Thanks.
Soon, I will buy Camtasia and start using it, instead of Windows Movie Maker, to edit my CZcams videos.
excellent work, well explained plus beauty of this software make things crazy.

Thanks so much, it's great to hear that your skills have developed so much using Camtasia! Nice work!
Wow! You teach so well. Are you the TechSmith who created Camtasia Studio?
Yep! TechSmith is the developer of Camtasia (we dropped the "Studio" part of the name with this latest release).
@@techsmith Hey is it free on pc or mac?
Love this software.

Thanks! Techsmith, is there some way to change the color, the size and the font of an annotation?
If you are trying to make the color/size and/or font change during an animation, apply a custom animation, and the then at the end of the animation indicator (arrow on the timeline) make the changes to your color/size/font.

You cannot create a waveform / audio spectrum video in Camtasia, however if you create a video in another program that is a compatible file format with Camtasia (MP4, for example) you can import it to use in your Camtasia project. Hope this helps! :)
@@techsmith Thanks for the reply.
Sir.
You have to add reverse video option in your Software...
Sir, Can I see this option in the next Update??
Thanks for the feedback, we'll note that down.
How do I remove the "speed up" and "slow down" effect of the animation?
i want to add a animated logo which will continue to play untill my video end.Like loop.what is the process?
I would build the animation, take those files, and use the group feature. Make sure that your animation ends where it started, so theirs no weird jumping points.

incredible software to edit videos, I make videos tutorials, I swear that one day I will buy this beautiful program ... :(
I just need to know how to highlight the mouse
This is something you apply during editing. You'll need to go to the Cursor Effects to choose the option.
I am new to Camtasia (have it since yesterday) and need help. If I have an object on track 1 and an object on track 2, and I want to move the object of track 1, but I automatically jump to track 2 and can only move the object there. It would be nice if you or anyone could help me.
Not sure what you mean by "automatically jump" to track 2? Our tech support team can help, though. You can reach them at support.techsmith.com
If I want to move an object on track 1, I automatically switch to track 2 and can only move the object there, but not the object at track 1.
can I add motion blur to my videos through camtasia 9? And how? Thanks
Sorry, you cannot add motion blur to your videos in Camtasia.
TechSmith I did:) but thanks for the response :)
Awesome
How do I do zoom and pan on camtasia 3 for OS X?
A zoom and pan is changing the size of the video & x, y coordinates. You will want to apply a custom animation. Drag the custom animation to the timeline (it adds to the current play head location). Anything before the animation is the starting point (and size). Anything after the animation is the end point (and size).
thanks a lot! :D
Can this animation and effects be done with Camtasia 8?
Yep! You can do all of this in version 8.

How do I do motion tracking of faces? I got memes to make.
Camtasia doesn't have motion tracking features built in. You can add items manually using Animations and maybe even Behaviors.
TechSmith - The dials on the animation portion that moves the items in x,y,z axii are very difficult to control since they are so tiny. Is there a simpler way other than randomly typing in numbers in the number boxes for that?
Don't believe that custom behaviors could do anything with facial / motion tracking.
Are there addons somewhere that can do this? I've looked but cannot find any. It seems like a very useful thing people would want that things like Adobe Premier Pro has. I don't want to have to learn that new software just for facial or motion tracking.
