Creating an Animated Intro in Camtasia [2021 Version]

Creating animations in Camtasia 2021 is easier than you might think. In this video, we walk through creating an animated intro in Camtasia from scratch. We work with shapes and annotations within Camtasia and animate the Learning Dojo logo.
Animating objects is as simple as understanding what properties change from the time the animation starts to when the animation ends. I call this going from point A to point B in the animation. Once you change the properties, it is all about timing at that point. What other tips and tricks do you want to see? Let me know below.

This is fantastic! The most important thing of adding to my library is vital!

Great info here. Had to get the Alpha Invert though by adding a Visual Effect. I couldn't right click on the track to get the Alpha Invert. I'm running Camtasia 2022 on my Mac. Odd.

[@LearningDojo]

Oh yeah, you may be able to enable right click in your mouse settings in system preferences. Or a Cmd + click should bring up that same menu.

[@raysdronevideos8151]

@@LearningDojo Oh, I have right-click enabled..... I just don't see anything about Alpha invert.... My right click options are very different than what's in your video. Odd. But I found the effect and I made it a favorite, so it's all good.

[@raysdronevideos8151]

Figured it out. I wasn't right clicking in the right spot.... duh!

[@LearningDojo]

@@raysdronevideos8151 Oh good! Glad you got it figured it out!
