Super cool! I'm curious: are there plans for adding audio "effects" (I'm not sure if that's the correct terminology) to Camtasia? Like an echo effect (reverb) or an old-radio effect. Or even changing the bands on an equalizer for a portion of the audio? I hope this makes sense. Keep these videos coming!
So more "auditory" effects, rather than visual effects created FROM the audio? If so, it's not something we're currently looking at, but perhaps something for the future. Our audio-focused app "Audiate" does have some of these extended audio adjustment tools, so if you haven't checked that out yet, that might be of interest to you. Thanks a lot for watching the video and hope it was helpful!
Hey Kelly! I'm thinking about doing a podcast with a guest. Is it possible to have two rings (one for each speaker) and have the audio visualizer recognize which speaker is speaking?
Great question! It's absolutely possible to do this! You can actually add as many Audio Visualizers to a Camtasia project that you want, the only catch is that the Audio Visualizer will try to visualize any audio playing on the timeline. To get around this, you'll want to isolate each of your speakers to their own audio track, put each in a separate group, and then add the Audio Visualizer inside each group. Groups act as a sort of "shield" that blocks audio from outside the group, and so in that way your Audio Visualizer will only animate what's happening inside of the group.
Thanks @KellyRushTechSmith! Since we're asking about new features, can you tell me if anything in terms of animating text or text effects based on the transcription or captions track are in the works? You know what I mean, those animations and highlighting of the currently spoken word, etc., customisable placement of captions, all that. It would be insane if Camtasia had those.
I think I know what you mean. It's certainly something that we can investigate. As you can see, we're on a bit of a tear lately trying to bring some creative tools to folks. I think the most exciting aspect of working in this space is finding all the creative ways people come up with to use these tools that we hadn't even thought of!
GREAT question! You certainly CAN do that! One thing to keep in mind though is that when you group an Audio Visualizer in Camtasia, the visualizer will NOT look for audio outside of the group. If you have your audio inside of the group WITH the visualizer...no problem. If, however, you have your audio OUTSIDE of that group, the visualizer won't display anything. You'll need to, in that case, either ungroup the group that the visualizer is in, or cut/paste your audio INSIDE the group with the visualizer. We designed it this way so that you could, for instance, have an audio track playing in the background that won't visualize, but can still have talking narration that DOES visualize.

Am I correct in assuming that we could then group those elements on the timeline and save them so it can be easily added to future videos?

@@KellyRushTechSmith makes perfect sense. Thank you!
