Move captions AND their variable width backgrounds UP vertically, in Camtasia Studio. In Camtasia, there is NO easy way to change the vertical position of your captions, when using Camtasia’s “captioning” feature or importing an SRT file into your video with Camtasia. In this video, I solve the problem of how to get your captions up off the very bottom of your video, and place them vertically, wherever you like.

Great minds! I knew there had to be a way, but adding the green screen with the black opaque rendering makes it look so much better. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world (from one 40+ year old to another).

[@RobtheMaritimer]

Awesome! Happy to help :-)

[@RicardoMartins84]

Thanks for sharing this endless workaround. In Camtasia for Mac its even worse, since the captions doesn't have an individual track. I gave up on adjusting the height with multiline captions even for a short video. I hope Techsmith improve this in the future.

[@zadkieladdae8145]

This channel needs more subscribers. Good work mate.

[@RobtheMaritimer]

Glad you think so!

[@user-pq9jt3np5g]

tnx dude❤

[@RafaelSousa-pj1ok]

You are a genius! Thanks for this amazing video! Best regards from Brazil!

[@RalfEUlrich]

Good video, was useful for me! Keep up the good stuff!

[@sunshine070890]

Awesome video. Thanks much!

[@udo9999]

Great Camtasia video, thanks!

[@muhammadhamza7983]

Eagerly waiting for more videos...

[@digitanandaa]

Great info

[@trevorb7595]

You da man!!!

[@HistoricSearch]

Nice Video

[@pablorojonavarro3711]

Thank you! It´s completely absurd all the workaround that you have to make to move some subtitles. Camtasia here was very annoying.

[@RobtheMaritimer]

I hopeful that they'll add this functionaility in the near future :-)

[@amirhosseinazizi4714]

nice

[@LisaGhylin]

This is great, but I have a question. Are the new captions searchable when done this way?

[@RobtheMaritimer]

I think you might be referring to when you save a video along with Techsmith's Smart Player. When you do that, then you'd have the option to use "closed captions" (when the viewer has the ability to turn them on or off). However, when burning the captions into the video (or baking them in), regardless of whether you use the subtitle track or the method shown in this video (creating an image of the captions), when the captions are burned in, they would not be searchable. I hope that helps!

[@jimnguyen3481]

Can you tell me your export settings. Your videos are nice and clear.

[@RobtheMaritimer]

I'm making a video on this today... should be ready in a couple days :)

[@RobtheMaritimer]

As promised :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXzGZ4JngtqBiJI
