About the Topic

---------------------------------------

Camtasia (formerly Camtasia Studio) is a software suite, created and published by TechSmith, for creating video tutorials and presentations directly via screencast, or via a direct recording plug-in to Microsoft PowerPoint. The screen area to be recorded can be chosen freely, and audio or other multimedia recordings may be recorded at the same time or added separately from any other source and integrated in the Camtasia component of the product. Both versions of Camtasia started as enhanced screen capture programs and have evolved to integrate screen capture and post-processing tools targeted at the educational and information multimedia development marketplace.

Camtasia consists of two major components:

• Camtasia Recorder - a separate tool for capturing screen audio and video

• Camtasia editor - the component for which the entire product is named, which is now a multimedia authoring tool with the industry standard "timeline" interface for managing multiple clips in a stacked track form plus enhancements summarized below.

Some of the Editing Features:

1.Brand New Assets: Camtasia comes with a collection of brand new video assets, including customizable intros, outros, and lower thirds. Or get full access to over 500,000 royalty-free stock assets with a TechSmith Assets subscription.

2.Theming: Create multiple themes to keep your various company or personal styles organized and ready to use. Easily create, save, and apply themes with custom color and font preferences.

3.Performance Improvements: The Camtasia editor has been refined to provide a smoother experience all around. Improved preview playback now gives you more stability with greater responsiveness during editing.

4.Screen Recorder: Record your entire screen, or just a single window.

5.Webcam: The webcam recorder lets you add a personal touch to your video.

6.Media: Import images, audio, and video up to 4K resolution.

7.Multi-track Timeline: Build your videos quickly with multiple tracks for images, video, text, and audio.

8.Annotations: Arrows, callouts, shapes, and more help you get your point across.

9.Transitions: Add an intro/outro to the beginning or end of a clip, image, shape, or text.

10.Animations: Zoom, pan, or create your own custom motion effects.

11.Voice Narration: A great way to add context to what you're showing.

12.Audio Effects: Add audio effects to recordings, music, or narration to enhance your video.

13.Visual Effects: Adjust colors, add a drop shadow, change the clip speed, and more.

14.Interactivity: Add quizzes to see who is watching your videos, and how much they've viewed.

15.Green Screen: Put yourself in your video making it appear like you're right in the action.

Amazing video editing in 3 easy steps:

1.Record your screen: Record anything — your whole screen or just a window. Or, add video, images, audio, and PowerPoint presentations that you already have.

2.Make edits: A simple timeline makes editing video easy. Combine or split clips, trim, and speed up or slow down footage. Then, instantly preview inside the video editor.

3.Add effects: Give videos polish with professional video editor effects. Add highlights, animation, titles, transitions and more. Simply drag and drop the effects onto the timeline.

Apart from these, Camtasia is useful for:

1.PRESENTATIONS: Transform PowerPoint slides and webinar recordings into a compelling video.

--Add multimedia: Add videos and narration to slides to more effectively communicate your message.

--Webcam recording: Record webcam footage to add the energy of a live presentation to your footage.

--Record mouse movements: Make the cursor larger, animate clicks, and add a highlight to make mouse movements easier to track.

--Show keystrokes: Record keystrokes on screen to make it easy for users to follow along.

--Add notes and annotations: Drag in notes, captions, shapes, highlights, and more. Camtasia makes it easy to help users understand.
