You are literally the best Camtasia teacher I've ever come across, thank you so much Troy!! I've used FCP for years and you just convinced me to start using Camtasia more regularly.
Jessica, that's so generous of you! Thank you! I've been using Camtasia for 20+ years, but in the last 3 or 4 years its feels like they added a turbo to it. :). The software really has some wonderful power without getting scary complicated. I hope you enjoy the journey, too!
Love this top 10. Have been using Camtasia for 4 months now for training & tutorial videos. But now I am excited to use Camtasia for TH-cam videos. Looks like I will be moving away from what I currently use for TH-cam and utilising Camtasia as I have found it so easy to use, feature filled, intuitive and great to work with.

Wow: awesome video. I've been using Camtasia on Windows for years then on Mac (for a couple of weeks). And still, I've learnt many great tips. Thanks :)
Very good video.😊 Very good tool.😊 For me there is an important e feature missing in audiate : numbers of word displaying simultenously. Because Audiate create long subtitle. So when you create a youtube shorts the text is too small (in portrait orientation). It would be great to add a setting to allow only to display 5 words à the same time in subtitle
We're definitely better. ;) We'd be biased answering that one. But I can say we have MUCH stricter security requirements as ByteDance (who owns Capcut & TikTok) makes no secret of their data-mining and lax security.
Are you referring to the cursor arrow? In Camtasia 2022 you can scale your cursor, edit the path, or create a whole new cursor path! Check out this tutorial to learn how: www.techsmith.com/blog/tutorials/camtasia/cursor-effects/
@@SiyamandRashid Hi Rashid, that arrow is part of the sketch motion callouts. They are in the Annotations. th-cam.com/video/ZLKmXE_ZwiU/w-d-xo.html. - Troy

The problem with Auto-Mix voice and audio is its not working by audio level, for example my voice some part muted but background music not increasing, its only works where the voice not exist (Removed in Layer) not based on audio level sadly, even totally muted
I believe you're talking about the Emphasis effect, and in that case, you're correct, the idea is that the level of audio volume remains the same throughout, but that means that if your narration stops, the music volume increases to compensate. If you don't want that, you can manually lower your music level throughout and not use the effect. It's simply a tool to make people's lives easier in a drag-and-drop effect, but won't work in every scenario.
Is it better to record PowerPoint presentations from within PowerPoint? Or by exporting the PPT pages as image files? If I don't use PPT animation, what do I gain using PowerPoint? Some kind person please advise.
There are advantages to both, but this tutorial shows how to do each. support.techsmith.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029430171-How-to-Record-a-PowerPoint-Presentation-or-Import-the-Slides-into-Camtasia-Video- If you want to show animations created in Powerpoint, it may be beneficial to record your presentation. Importing slides brings them in as individual images in Camtasia where you can then add annotations and animations in Camtasia to customize it, but it will not import Powerpoint animations. Hope this helps!
Focus is the idea, but the feature. Troy shows off at least 5 in that moment, which include: Visual Effects: Freeze region Animations: Scale Up (& Rotate/Tilt left) Visual Effect: Spotlight Cursor Scaling (& replace cursor) in Properties panel Click effect: Library, then, Emphasis FX, Bursts & Collapses and BFX-006 But there's even more you can do and find to help get yoru viewer's attention with a little creativity!

@@techsmith it’s going well. The biggest challenge I’m facing is around audio sounding a bit “echo”-y, but that’s not a Camtasia issue - I just need to adjust my microphones for a new environment. I’m loving Audiate - great tool! I’m also shooting a lot of external video in 4K - I’ll wait and see how things go with proxy clips and such. The over-all screencasts and especially the new library features are fantastic in every way.

If you have Audiate generate dynamic captions, then you can edit anything related to what they look like, otherwise they will appear as standard closed captions.
No! As long as you choose your language before transcription Audiate will currently ALSO recognize: Dutch, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and many local variations of Spanish (Castilian, Argentinian, Mexican, etc).

That's really kind of you to say! These types of comments sure help!
Great tips! I have just seen Audiate and seems so useful. Thanks..
I Love Camtasia... Its great! 🔥
This video was awesome. I want Audiate now! Thanks for teaching me new tricks too.
Those transitions are rock solid. Nicely done. The content is great too :)
our devs built some beautiful ones and they are only getting better. you'll see ever more control over the transitions in the future!

@@TroyStein Thanks, better late than never. Tag me once you publish this. Thx
To the point 👍🏼
What I like about Camtasia is that you can buy it and then it simply is yours ..... not getting monthly shaved like a cloud sheep ...
Not anymore... 😢
these are good tips which will help to lot of people. Thanks
Great Tips! I'll try them out!
Very good video.😊

feature missing in audiate : numbers of word displaying simultenously.
Because Audiate create long subtitle.
So when you create a youtube shorts the text is too small (in portrait orientation).
It would be great to add a setting to allow only to display 5 words à the same time in subtitle
I'd try Audiate, but it's rediculously overpriced by a factor of around 7. $30 a year sure, $29 per mo? or $199 per year? Not a chance...
It won't be for everyone, but we've found it's comparable to similar tools in that category.
Great video, how would you compare Camtasia to CapCut? Can not find a good comparison anywhere
We're definitely better. ;)
We'd be biased answering that one.
But I can say we have MUCH stricter security requirements as ByteDance (who owns Capcut & TikTok) makes no secret of their data-mining and lax security.
Could we have your background musics ?
Just WOW
I like these arrows you used in this video where to get them please?

Please suggest good mic for recording
I use the Shure PG27 USB, which has been discontinued, i believe. But, the Audio Technica AT2020 is a really solid mic and around $100 USD.
I have a question, can I use CAMTESIA videos assets on the videos that I make for my TH-cam?
Yes you can! Camtasia assets are royalty free and can be used in your videos on TH-cam!

Hi, Anthony! Troy is using the Shure PG27 USB. :)

Where is this magic “ focus” feature you speak of?

Too expensive especially with Audiate. If Audiate was sold as part of camtasia then it could be a solid investment and competitor to FCPX.
What's your "goldilocks" price point for an annual Camtasia + Audiate subscription?
