Thanks Eduard, you made Camtasia look so simple and user-friendly. Smooth voice too. The video was just long enough to make us feel comfortable, without lingering in details.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Glad you think so!

[@susanbryg]

THANK YOU! So informative and no time wasted with 'fluff.' Great job and it really helped me to get over the learning curve 'hurdle.'

[@timeonourhandsblog]

This is so great. I've been struggling with Camtasia and you showed me everything I needed to know in such a short amount of time. I love it. Thank you!!!

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Happy you found this useful!

[@goose2471]

Exploring many video editing software to create pro defensive driving videos. I believe Camtasia is it. Thank you so much!

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Happy to hear that! Thanks

[@frosos.9098]

Finally a tutorial for beginners that explains step by step how to get started with Camtasia, loved it!

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Happy to help, Frosaki!

[@C_is_for_Cookies]

I have to thank you for this video. I struggled through two different Udemy classes and one Techsmith video and your video was easily the best one. That was an amazing amount of very well explained information in 18 minutes. Truly, thank you!

[@ahmadchannel9303]

you're a master editor, thank you

Great video, I just downloaded camtasia on my PC, I love it!

[@themitero13]

Hi Eduard, great video. Thank you. Wanted to ask a quick question: Can you Trim, Crop, Splice your videos using Camtasia? Thanks

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Absolutely! It's in the beginning of the tutorial, check out the exact times in the description of the video.

[@justwan1205]

Easiest tutorial.. Earned a sub..

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@danbotica]

Hi Edward and thank you for th effort. Do you know of any resource where I could learn how to add text with Camtasia. Like multiple points as if in Power Point presentation, to be displayed while the video runs? Thank you sir!

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

No idea really. But Camtasia has some great text animation presets, so if you watched this tutorial, then it's really just a matter of adding as many titles as you need, all on different video tracks. It's a little more difficult to manage compared to doing it in PowerPoint really, as the timeline will get filled with a lot of text layers, but other than that, the principle should be fairly straight forward to apply. Keep in mind that when the text ends on the timeline, it also disappears from the screen.

[@emeraldgarrett]

Thank you for such a great tutorial! I will be using Camtasia for work and was looking for an easy tutorial to get a quick overview. I have never worked with a video editing software but thanks to your video I now know the basics :)

[@vandrefelipe]

[@anthonyr.fellowph.d.4896]

You made more sense then other Camtasia videos here.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

I'm putting a lot of planning into making these videos, so I'm happy to hear that!

[@emmarye1]

This is wonderful! Thank you!

[@MarkMcPherson1]

Thank you for the video. First, I notice you're using a blue yeti microphone. My problem is camtasia keeps crashing when I do a screen recording. Not when I'm doing anything else. One of the things I have asked Techsmith is whether my blue yeti was overburdening camtasia and causing it to crash. After seeing your video, clearly it is not the case. Second, I have read elsewhere on a camtasia tutorial (perhaps on the TechSmith site itself), to not do what you did at 14.30 which was to extend the size of the screen capture area because the bigger you make the screen capture area, the more trouble Camtasia has. So would like your thoughts on this. I have been recording a presentation using Google slides so rather than make the screen capture area fit the size of the slides on my screen I have been reducing the slides on my screen to fit 1280 x 720. I apologise for that being a bit muddled but hopefully you get my drift. Love to have your thoughts on this. And one other question please : when you go to export the product as a a local file don't you have to put the marker way back to the beginning? You had left halfway through the video. That might be a silly question but I am a bit confused

[@Morphiman]

Great tutorial! I'm about to create my first own video in Camtasia and that's exactly what I needed. Short, clear and to the point, thank you!

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

You're welcome! Good luck with your first video project in Camtasia!

[@artgallery_pavi]

Thankyou so much ... I was less motivated and had less courage in doing my first video .. you made my day ... 🙏

[@NDemanuele1]

Helpful video! I have a video I'm working on for an Instructional Design portfolio. It is an instructional video about email etiquette. I want to dress up the Email window I'm giving instructions on so learners don't have to stare at all the white space. Can this be done or is it better to leave it alone since it's an instructional video?

[@jessymarlot3605]

Pot folosi Camtasia ca sa editez spre exemplu un logo din videoul meu personal inregistrat cu telefonul? Spre exemplu filmez un produs cu logo Steelseries, pot manipula video astfel incat sa apara emblema Razer in loc de Steelseries ?

Wow, resizing! Who would have thought there was so many resizing options.

You'll get the hang of it, just need to resize a few times :)

Hi, Thank you for your course. I use camtasia 2021, at the end of my recording , and after I save the file. It starts camtasia studio automatically, is there any way to prevent it to auto start?

[@Lj-md9ng]

I have a question. I’ve just recently downloaded the latest demo and wanted to try using a video from my Photo Booth on my laptop to play around with the background but when I tried to import it camtasia read “error file not supported “. Is that because I’m using a demo? It’s just me on a video that I recorded on my laptop

[@officeprogramming]

I have both Camtasia 2019 and 2020. What is in the video appears to be a beta version of 2020. It has some of the new features for 2020, but not all of them. The app in the video does not look like the recently released official version of 2020. It is missing some of the new features, like favorites. In the Windows version of the first official release of 2020, it does not have the thumbnails in the media bin for video that allows you to scroll the video as demonstrated. It would have been very helpful if Eduard had mentioned that this was not the final version. There are other great features in 2020 that are not in the video. It is still a good introduction to Camtasia basics. It is worth watching.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Apologies for the confusion, this is Camtasia 2019. The title meant the video was up to date and recent, I wasn't aware there is a new version of Camtasia released (2020). Sorry if you found it misleading and thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[@dandefrank]

Hi Eduard, My issue is that the files are huge and take up much space on my C drive. Is it possible to have the recordings directed to an external drive?

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Absolutely! How huge are we talking here? Whenever you go to Share -> Local File; just make sure to select whatever destination you prefer (your external drive, for example). However, if you export in MP4 with H264 codec, it shouldn't be that massive.

[@saisumanth4787]

tq so much for making work easy

[@danielabenea8937]

Hello, I have a question,would this app help with uploading MP4 or WebM videos to make animated video overlays transparent?

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Neither MP4 nor WebM support transparent overlays. As far as I know you cannot export transparent videos from Camtasia, but you can definitely import transparent video assets into Camtasia, no problem at all there. My recommendation for the best codec for transparent assets is to have files in MOV format encoded with Apple ProRes 4444. For example, see all of the stock animation files we have on videoplasty.com

Great video Eduard. Thanks. Earned a sub.

[@EAES]

Thank u @video plasty

[@rickwrightson2356]

Thanks Eduard. I'm doing a trial of Camtasia and just watched your video. Looks as if Camtasia can do a screen recording and a webcam at the same time. Is that correct? This is what I would like to do but can't seen anything in the documents that shows this. In other words, I'd like a picture-in-picture. The screen recording is going in full screen mode and a small window of me explaining what I'm doing on the screen is in the corner. You showed something similar in your video.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Yes, that's definitely possible and one of the features that attract people to Camtasia. Have you watched the tutorial all the way to the end? It's at 14:00 kzbin.info/www/bejne/epjXdax_rMuXr8U

[@Graphicious]

Yes, Camtasia does this by default when you start recording. On the recording panel, you can turn camera, screen, audio individually, prior to recording. Then, each one is recorded and available individually for editing on the timeline -- screen and camera.

[@pabloespinosa7466]

Hello can I ask you a question? I am preparing a video with photos and videos of a trip, and once I generate the final mp4, in some parts of the video I see less than 1 second pixelated, however in the project it is not pixelated or at least not in the same moment. Do you know why this happens and how can I correct it? Thank you very much for your help

[@lindaburnett4962]

[@MrDeng-yj9cq]

Thanks Eduard for this informative video. I will definitely re-watch this video at least a few more time just to better understand how to use Camtasia

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Glad it was helpful! Learning Camtasia needs a bit of practice too, so get some test footage and play around with it to learn along the way.

[@catherinelagoudakis7954]

Hello, Thank you so much for your videos. They are extremely helpful. I just started using Camtasia to teach remotely. I am a super beginner. I managed to create a couple of videos successfully. Somehow the last one created was a flop. I think I recorded the video using a different setting and now the video is tiny, on a larger black background. I went back into the file to scale the screen and save it again, I re-shared and it is still too small. Is there a way to fix it or do I need to re-record??

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

I suspect you might have recorded a specific resolution (smaller) and your project settings are for a higher resolution

[@sonnybigler8726]

Very, very informative. Thank you very much.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jc1424]

I've been using Expression Encoder and Movie Maker for almost 5 years now. I got a new computer and Movie Maker now does some kind of pixelation to my raw Elgato recordings. Hopefully I grow into this software.

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

You'll love it, it's my favourite option in the user-friendly category! And besides, it's probably one of the most popular one for screen recordings, so definitely great.

Hi, if possible can you by chance make a green screen test with hero 7 black. Thanks!

[@VideoPlastyOfficial]

Hi Arnold, I'm sorry but I don't have the GoPro Hero 7 camera, nor do I have access to a green screen. I actually only agree with green screen setups in highly professional studios where you do VFX, not at home, because in my experience, it's so hard to get it right and make it look good, that you actually end up looking like an amateur. So personally, I don't recommend green screens at home.
