This is a great feature that I wish I could use. I get up to the point of identifying the pauses going through and deleting them then when I go to export in such a way that it puts the audio back in and edits the corresponding video automatically all I do is I get an ad. And then we'll only move any further. It promised me to download the newest version of camtasia. I got in touch with someone at techsmith they said that the last version of camtasia 2022 [2022.4.5] would be able to run this feature even if I'm using the trial version of audiate. I need this to work and I am now stuck. Fantastic video. It gets straight to the point. I will be subscribing to your channel.
The integration between Camtasia and Audiate should bring you back to Camtasia and apply all the cuts you made. If that's not working, then perhaps there's a glitch. Which version of Camtasia are you using?
Thanks for this. I'm trying to decide between Audiate and Descript. I already have Camtasia. It looks like Descript is a bit more functional in a lot of ways, though some things are a bit janky, like adding custom music, but so far I'm enjoying it. Thanks for your tutorials.
@@Graphicious Thank you for taking the time to reply. I do like Camtasia, but man. Editing takes soooo long. A lot of that is probably because I'm an amateur and don't use it all that often, but even so, Descript seems to take about the same amount of time BUT I'm producing an edited transcript at the same time, so a better use of my time it seems.
I use both in equal measure, each tool has a specific set of advantages/features and a set of things it lacks, for which you have to compensate with another tool.
Thank you. You're right I think it must be very easy for TechSmith, also I don't understand why they do not add this property. Your way also seems beneficial but what about if it becomes a video, then how silent video parts will be removed and synchronization is provided with the audio. I think it should be added directly to the camtasia, it should be removed also from video part together with audio. Thank you again, this method also resembled copying a paragraph from a pdf file to pasting to office word, then removing surplus enter parts of pdf to obtain a fluent paragraph in word :)
Checked today 1May 2023 and looks like they listened to you. Audiate will now delete silences for you and you can customise the length of pauses to detect etc
Good stuff, subscribed! I am definitely trying to find a way to remove all silences without doing it manually. This was 5 months ago, did Audiate come out with any new features to be more useful since this vid? Thanks
Thanks for the sub! Honestly, I am not using Audiate so much these days. For silence removal, filler words, etc. I use Descript: www.descript.com?lmref=dGkVRA - much more powerful. I even have a course on it! :) www.mediamakers.club
Cristi -- thank you for this. When you select "Edit Camtasia Timeline" (5:19), does it also edit the video portion? I've just started at a company that is all-in on Camtasia, and I'm hearing from others that this was a dealbreaker for them in the past, because while they could edit out filler words and silences in Audiate, they had to do the same thing on their video files, making it impractical.
I got the better solution then Audiate for removing the dead silence from audio and its works smoothly, but my concern is how you will sync the video part with audio after removing the audio dead silence. Suppose I have 20 minute long audio and after I removing silence length becomes 10 minutes but video length remains 20 minute because audiate removes only audio part not video. What is the video sync process for this removed dead silence????
If you send the project from Camtasia to Audiate, and remove silences, then you transfer it back using the process shown in this video and choose to 'edit timeline' in Camtasia. It will also make the same cuts in the video, so the video will stay synchronised with your audio and all your cuts.
Dear Sir, very grateful! How do I do this when I want to cut an even smaller piece of video footage than the space on Camtasia's arrow normally allows? Is it possible to crop millimeters from a video?
The smallest unit you can edit/delete in Camtasia is one frame. You could try increasing the project framerate to 60fps rather than 30fps but that's it.
thanks for the video, I was actually looking for a feature to fast-forward silence or typing as I've seen in many videos but couldn't find that in camtasia; is there a way to do that or is there a better app with this feature as well as other cool features like zooming stuff.
Thanks for this video Cristi. I'm about to record a lot of training videos. I'd previously planned to use Screenflow and Descript. I heard your comment in the video about you using Descript. The addition of Audiate round trip in Camtasia 2022 seems significant. But Audiate is way behind Descript in sophistication and way too costly for what it does. I'd be really interested to hear your recommendations. Should I stick with Screenflow and Descript now to get current functionality or move to Camtasia and Audiate with the expectation of likely increasing integration and sophistication? Thanks!
Personally, I'd recommend that you use Camtasia + Descript for now. I know that Audiate can do the transcription, and certainly the Camtasia integration shown in this video is nice, but I'm a person who can't wait for it to 'get there', so I use Descript with my Camtasia workflow for now. I have not used Screenflow so I don't know everything it's capable of. If you're happy with it and are just looking for the added functionality of transcription and more, I'd still stick with Descript for now. Audiate is promising but it's far from doing everything I need... quite far.
Thanks for such a swift and effective response @@Graphicious! I'd be really interested to understand your workflow with Camtasia and Descript. I'm guessing that it's something like: 1. Screen recording plus camera in Camtasia 2. Export and bring into Descript 3. Edit in Descript 4. Export from Descript 5. Back into Camtasia (or Final Cut/Premiere) for final polishing before publishing If you had any suggestions for improvements in workflow, I'd be very interested!
I don't usually go back so I'd recommend you try to minimize exports. Every time you export an mp4, you lose some quality, as mp4 is not lossless. One of my workflows is this: 1. Record AND Edit everything in Camtasia 2. Export and import into Descript 3. Clean up, remove filler words, etc. 4. Re-export and upload wherever. But I'm not always very picky with the cuts. If the cuts are too distracting, I will try to clean them up as I edit, in Camtasia, so the video that arrives in Descript is quite 'finished'. From Descript, if I want to re-export because I want the cuts/hesitations/fillerwords removed from the video, I will. If not, I will use the Descript transcript just for captions/subtitles. For the captions-only workflow, you have to be careful of the timings. If you make cuts, the captions won't be in sync. For TH-cam that's not an issue because I just copy-paste the transcript and TH-cam will automatically align it. But if you need the caption to stay in sync, when you make cuts don't delete, instead 'replace with gap clips' in Descript. Another workflow I use often is for videos that start out in Descript, for example Zoom recordings of interviews. I may edit everything in Descript but if I want to crop/reframe the video because of the wasted space, I will download the video, reframe it in Camtasia, export and re-upload in Descript, but keep the original audio and add this reframed video on a separate track. That lets me keep the edits but the video is different. That's because Descript doesn't have cropping right now. Many possibilities. I keep wanting to make a separate video for each one of these workflows. Camtasia works well with Descript and vice versa.
Hi Cristi..I used the "Silence Audio" feature in Camtasia but don't know how to undo the "Silence Audio" after using it and deciding later after editing that i do want the audio..Can you help me?..Thank you
In which version of Camtasia? If in 2022, right click on the audio clip and choose ‘Restore Audio’. If older version, Edit menu I think, and choose Remove - All audio points.
@@Graphicious I have Camtasia 2022 and what i did was i press "Edit Audio" and click and holded the bottom of the clip and dragged it up and it came back..Thank you friend..Respect!!!

it is very easy to do with Filmora but i want a new more advanced software with screen recording, was hoping Camtasia has it! also not exist in Powerdirector! which is crazy strange!

This is only audio autocut. But problem is video layer not cut, and problem is audio and video layer not match 😊

You can copy a pause, put it in find, and hold the delete key down...
Interesting...

@@Graphicious
thanks, I'll check that.
Good luck!
Wonder what percentage of Camtasia users have Audiate to use.
Not sure, it's a separate subscription to use it. I wish some of the functionality was built into Camtasia so it can be used directly.
Quite frustrating that this is locked behind an Audiate paywall, when it's free on DaVinci Resolve or Filmora. Grr.
Agreed. I hope they find a way to integrate this functionality into Camtasia directly at some point. It would significantly improve it
No use,
Many language not support.
(This feature based language)
Yeah, it supports English only at the moment.
Please don't use camtasia
Why not?
Filmora >>>> Audiate
Are you using Filmora with Audiate?
@@Graphicious just Filmora 13.4.2 for all my PC recordings, video and audio editing (including silence detection and removal)
Unsubscribed you today
No problem.
@@Graphicious What the heck? 😆
Worst editing software
Sorry you feel that. I quite enjoy it and use it every day.
