Another great video from Mr. Camtasia himself! Thanx

[terrymaffitt]

Very helpful. By recording on your laptop (without a secondary monitor) are you limiting yourself to 1080? Do you normally publish your videos to YouTube through Camtasia or upload through Studio? Lastly, when you are recording live, do you use any type of switchbox for your cameras. Let’s say you want to show something from overhead versus a front facing camera.

Another excellent video. Keep up the good work.

Hey Rob thanks for all your knowledge and videos, they are so helpful. I have a question. Do you have a video explaining on how to do this. I have two videos a screen recording and a video I took with my phone with audio. How do you cut back and forth, for example having my phone video full screen, then cut back to me in a circle with the screen recording going and then cut back to my phone video full screen.Thanks.

Thank you for your video. It is greatly appreciated. I am new to using camtasia 2023 to record my screen - imac - but have used it for years to do basic editing of videos recorded on a camera.
1) I have been using a blue yeti microphone, a Logitech MX brio WebCam and I have been recording a set of Google slides in presentation mode sized to be just in the middle of my screen.
2) With screen recording, camtasia 2023 and then 2024 has been crashing over and over - usually I don't see a problem until I go to press 'stop recording' maybe after say 15 minutes and then it either crashes and disappears or just does not respond. So the project is wasted I have reported the problem but I really have not got a fix to the problem.
3) One thing I notice is you record the whole screen - which I think on my System I would be pressing 'built in retina display' - whereas I was recording originally 1280 x 720 and then stretching it to fit the size of the slides on my screen. I have now tried using 1280 x 720 and making the slides smaller to fit the 1280 x 720 given to me by camtasia.
Making these changes did not help unfortunately
I apologise for that being rather rambling but as you can probably see, I'm pretty stressed over this. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions. I realise you're not my personal helper but any assistance you give would be greatly appreciated

Hello, great video by the way

I want to start doing music, recording tutorials with pro tools software. When you say that the system audio will be recording would that be the audio coming from my interface?

I want to use the actual sound coming from the software in ProTools to be included with the video. Thank you.

[GulluAtakishiyeva]

Hi, thank you, it is very helpful. But I want ask one thing . When you explaining how we stop recording you zoom that part of screen. You did it with Camtasia as well or with another app when you editing ?

[mario-t]

Thanks !!! Is it possible to make recording of Camtasia project itself, I tried and got some big error, not supported format. I assume it's not b'z when I open recorder it kicked me out of Camtasia. The reason I do this, b'z I like to do some quick reverse on sport video moving slider on the timeline back and force, it's great for instcutcion. Thanks

I really liked how to do 1080p area recording on a 4K monitor. I always struggle having to edit out the end where the recording shows me stopping the recording when I use the entire screen as 1080p

[iGyver-ized]

Are you sure that is the same in Windows? Was there a an related update? Because on Windows, there is another tab with additional settings.

[ConciergeCPA]

How can only see the camera recording and hide the screen recording?

[Shaisayah]

Is what you showed applicable to the free version, or do I need to purchase a package?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ROB ON YOUR GREAT VIDEOS.
I HAVE A GREAT ISSUE WITH THE CAMTASIA 2023 RECORDER AND NOBODY IN THE SUPPORT SOLVED IT. I CERTAINLY THINK IT IS A BUG IN THE RECORDER BECAUSE IN THE OLDER VERSION I HAD (IN CAMTASIA 9) EVERYTHING WAS GOOD.
WHEN I RECORD MY WORK FROM ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR IT DOES THE WORK BUT WHEN I START EDITING IN THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE PLAYING IT DAMAGES ALL THE COLORS.
MAYBE YOU CAN SOLVE IT?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ILANA

[museemosaic]

It is a wonderful explanation of all the Camtasia videos. I enjoyed. I have an audio problem. I want to make video tutorials using one microphone and screen capture. the screen capture is a piano performance using Midiculous software and synthesis for keys and sounds from a Casip Piano. Camtasia 2024 is not showing system audio. Can you please help? I am from India and 74 years old. Thank you

[COMPUTERPROGRAMING]

how to create fliping icons in camtasia supppose "i want to make a youtube button when we click it flip and become a bell icon" sorry for my bad english

[jibulissan]

Can I switch between dual screens, while recording?

[dinorossi]

Can you make a video on how to insert a new video clip into a track but retain the same audio(narration) ? Camtasia does not, I repeat, does not have a tutorial explaining this. Thank you

[kalibtv]

This software is very expensive and not worth it if you are just beginner.
