Character Intro FREEZE Effect in Camtasia Tutorial

Get the BEST Camtasia training available: screencapturevideo.com/camtas...
Here's a fun effect in Camtasia that "freezes and zooms" a character being highlighted during an intro. I got this idea from watching an Adobe Premier Pro tutorial and decided to replicate the effect in Camtasia.
Here are some of the Gray Brush assets I mentioned in the tutorial that work really well with the Camtasia Colorize effect:

[@studybac9518]

What an awesome work sir you smashed it, Can you do a tutorial like this but with video, not a picture. just to clarify I have a character in a video but there's a lot of action around it so I want to divide it but not as image as a video

[@LonNaylor]

Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean. The entire premise of the effect is that it uses a still frame image. Plus, there is no real way in Camtasia to separate a character in a video from the rest of the video clip.

[@LonNaylor]

Camtasia 2021 UPDATE: This trick works MUCH better in CS 2021 when you apply the Proxy Video to you clip. Previewing is very smooth.

[@citocastro6800]

I love love love your videos! Can this be done with CAMTASIA 2018?

That Dark Underground Dafont was first seen 5 years ago on the this day

[@assawirjouri6887]

Is the program free and does it contain ready-made filters?

[@rjjeffreys]

Used Camtasia for years on projects for clients and friends. I really liked it, except for serious crashing issues (esp. vers. 8). I'm back on vers. 9, working for an independent book press. Thanks for bringing me up to speed with your excellent tutorial videos. Subscribed! PS Is it worth updating to vers. 2020?

[@LonNaylor]

Thanks! I find 2020 to be far superior to CS 9 but you might want to hold off for just a bit and upgrade to 2021 when it ships in the not too distant future.

[@rjjeffreys]

@@LonNaylor You're most welcome, Lon! Thanks for the advice. I am going to wait for the 2021 version. What are three of the best features of 2020 over version 9?

[@LonNaylor]

@@rjjeffreys There are quite a few but my personal favorites are probably: Audio leveling, Presets, and Track Mattes.
