Ron, Thank you for another informative video. I haven’t tired TimeBolt yet, but will give it a try. Two Questions: (1.)Camtasia cuts off the first 5 words when recording, this is after the count down. What could be causing this? I have various mics and tested in other programs with no issues. (2.) When I record new audio and silence existing audio at the same place, the new audio is much lower. The gain and setting are the same. Have you had this issue? Any thoughts about how to fix this? Thank you as always. Have a beautiful day!
So glad that you're enjoying the videos. 😊 To your questions: (1.) I have two ideas why. First, are you recording through a recorder? I've done that in the past and it would have a limit that would basically "pause" recording until a certain level of loudness was detected. Second, TechSmith told me that the audio recorder and screen recorder are actually two completely separate recorders. This means that they try to start at the same time, but if your computer is busy with something, they might get slightly out of sync. In that case, consider closing all programs that you don't need, upgrade your computer, or just wait 5 seconds to start. (2.) If I understand correctly, the new audio recording is quieter than the original. Yes, this happens to me all the time. The issue is with the presenter and not the software. 😊 I've found that when I go back to record a fix or something like that, that my energy is nearly always lower than when originally recording. In that case, I'm quieter. One way I've worked around this, is to know that's the situation and to provide a little more than I think I need. Another way I try to fix this, is by recording more than what I need. For example, if I only need to fix a phrase or a sentence, I'll go back and re-record an entire paragraph or more. This helps make the differing audio not as noticeable. Also, the Audio Compression (also called "Volume Leveling" in earlier versions) helps with this. The audio ALWAYS sounds different, but those tricks help it not to stand out as much. One last idea here: There are AI programs that will let you edit your audio and replace it with typed text. It sounds crazy, I know, but if you have some extra time and money, look into programs like Descript (with overdub for editing).
so good to learn this. thanks
You are welcome!
Great instruction...TimeBolt recently added a Camtasia integration for TSCPROJ files!
Yes! I saw an email about that and am looking forward to trying the latest TimeBolt version. Thanks, Doug!
