Sorry, had to delete and repost this as there was a problem with the video (that I should have double checked before posting)! Thank you Brian for pointing it out ;-)

These new features are absolutely bonkers! Several of these automated processes, like the progress bar, I used to spend hours making my own little workarounds. Can’t wait to start my new training classes as these updates are very timely! Keep up the great work!

Nice summary. Glad I’m on the maintenance plan!

Great video. I use Camtasia for my channel so this info has been very helpful.

How about creating "Absolute Beginner" series? Short vertical videos maybe? Cover subjects like, what are tracks? Do track orders matter? Can we move tracks up and down? What happens if we do? How do we split sound and video (this in slow motion because Techsmith does not explain it at all)... maybe "Make your first YT video" with basic edits, titles, transitions and so on. I'd pay you for a video like this. Thank you

Thanks for highlighting our new release!

Wow it was a brilliant tutorial, watched it till the end.

Thank you from Brazil!!! Camtasia 2024 is nice! It is a shame that Camtasia will be available just in a subscribed plan.

Great features. I hope the overall processing has been made more efficient as well.

Hi Rob. I’m so glad to have found your channel. I downloaded Camtasia 2024 on my M1 MBP. I do run Parallels on my Mac because most of my videos are recorded showing Windows based software. I know Camtasia doesn’t support Parallels. That’s a bummer. It would be nice to know if there are others with a similar setup and how I could troubleshoot. Camtasia 2024 for the Mac opened up without issue. However, the screens do seem very different from the Windows version that I’ve used for years. I would like to know your thoughts about Microphone choices. I am recording content using my iPhone as well as my iPad Pro.

Sigh. I'm disappointed they haven't updated the export settings yet. There simply isn't any control over the type of vide that gets created during an export. I'm not expecting Final Cut level setting but something more than "video or video with player." For example, when I export the video, I notice the created video file uses 44.1kHz audio (old school CD quality) vs the industry standard 48kHz for HD videos. I realize that's a nit pick issue that most folks don't care about.

Additionally, I've been recording all my footage using AV1 on my RTX 4080 plus a video capture card so I can get video from other systems. I use OBS to record MKV files with the AV1 codec as it currently provides the best quality vs file size. Unfortunately, Camtasia does not support AV1 at all (encode or decode) although the format is unencumbered and available for many years and supported by most graphics cards now.

The 2024 update only includes new feature dynamic captions, which isn't enough to justify renewing my subscription.

Thanks, Rob. For those of us who purchased the 2024 with the perpetual license, do we miss out and will have to pay again in October? Do you happen to know?
