                                                          The first step in creating your new video project
                                                          is to make a screen recording. Camtasia
                                                          Recorder is a simple but powerful screen-
                                                          recording component that allows you to capture
                                                          cursor movements, menu selections, pop-up

                                                          anything else you see on your screen.
                                                          In addition to straight screen recording,
                                                          Recorder’s advanced features allow you to

                                                          option:

                                                                                                    . Step

                                                          recording, your video is placed on the Camtasia
                                                          Studio Timeline to edit, produce, and share.

                                                                  Recorder’s Key Concepts
Toolbars: The main toolbar on the Recorder screen, contains several options for quick access. To display
any or all of the other toolbars, choose the desired toolbar from the View dropdown menu. Once enabled,
a small bullet appears next to the toolbar name.
Options: Next to several of the tool buttons a small, black down-arrow displays. Clicking on the down-
arrow opens a dropdown menu of options related to that tool.
Draw on the Screen: The ScreenDraw feature allows you to draw on your desktop while you record a
video. Make your videos lively and easier to understand by underlining, pointing and illustrating with the

freehand drawing tool. While recording, use the ScreenDraw button         on the Annotation toolbar.
Choose Tools > Effects > Hotkeys to setup a hotkey for starting and stopping ScreenDraw.
Zooming Options: Camtasia includes a number of different Zooming options. Zoom In and Zoom Out
focuses into or away from the area in increments, while Zoom To zooms directly to a certain size, specific
region, window or the full screen. AutoZoom allows you to zoom between views with a smooth
appearance by controlling the speed of the image scaling.

      Step 2: Edit and Enhance
The second step in creating your new video
project is to edit and enhance your video.
Camtasia Studio’s main interface allows you
to import video, audio, and image files into a
video project.
Imported files, called clips, reside in the Clip
Bin for easy access. To put a clip on the
Timeline for editing, simply drag and drop it
from the Clip Bin down to the
Timeline. The Timeline is the primary
working area for your editing work.
Once clips are on the Timeline, you
can:
    • Adjust timing or position
    • Cut or split
    • Add Transitions between clips
    • Modify the audio
    • Record voice narration
    • Add a picture-in-picture video
For more information, see page 9.
You can also add Transitions, Quizzes, interactive Callouts, and Zoom effects to your video.

                                                                  Edit & Enhance Key Concepts
                                                          Combine Media: Use the Timeline to combine
                                                          various multimedia elements such as video
                                                          clips, still images, and audio tracks. You can
                                                          join these clips in any number and order that
                                                          you desire.
                                                          Undo/Redo: When editing, undo or redo the
                                                          editing until you are completely satisfied with
                                                          the video.
                                                          Preserves Originals: Editing clips on the
                                                          Timeline doesn’t affect the original files or the
                                                          files in the Clip Bin.
Multiple Instances: To show a clip more than once, repeatedly drag to the Timeline from the Clip Bin.
Add Title Clips: Add a graphic before your video clip to act as a title, place a graphic between video
clips to function as a chapter heading, or insert a graphic at the end of your video to feature your credits.
Resizing is Easy: Automatically resize a clip on the Timeline by dragging the end of a clip to make the
clip shorter. Once a clip has been sized smaller, drag the end of the clip again to make it longer.

Getting Started Guide                                                                Camtasia Studio


       Step 3: Produce
The third step in creating your
new video project is production.
When you have set the timing and
sequence of your video clips, still
images, callouts, quizzes, and
voice narration on the Timeline,
you are ready to produce your
final video into a distributable and
sharable format.
To produce your video, within the
Task List in Camtasia Studio,
click on the Produce video as..
link. The Production Wizard
Welcome screen appears. Overall,
there are three different ways to
produce your video.
First, the easy-to-use
Recommend my Production
Settings Wizard takes you through the video production process based on the distribution method that
you choose. With this option, simply answer a few questions about your Timeline content and
distribution channel and you are set to go. We highly recommend that you produce your first few videos
using this Production Wizard.
The second option uses the Custom Production Wizard which allows you more flexibility over your
final video file format as well as the ability to customize frame rates, video, and audio codecs, etc.
The third option uses Production Presets. A Production Preset contains a set of saved production
instructions including the Video File Format, Encoding Options, and Video Size options. Using a
Production Preset makes the production of videos faster and easier and bypasses most of the Production
Wizard process.
1.   To use Production Presets, within the Task List, click Produce Video As. The Production Wizard
     appears.
2.   Enable the Production Preset option.
3.   From the dropdown list, click the desired preset.
How will you share your videos?
This is one of the most important questions you need to answer before you begin to produce your video
using the Custom Production Wizard since it directly impacts the type of video format you choose. See
the recommendations given below to help get you started.

         If Your Desired Target Is:        Internet / Intranet         CD                  DVD

Choose this file format first:         Macromedia Flash (SWF) AVI                    AVI
Choose this file format second:        RealMedia (RM)            WMV Streaming
                                       QuickTime (MOV)           Format

Camtasia Studio                                                                   Getting Started Guide


     Step 4: Share
The final step in creating your
video is to actually share it
with your viewing audience.
Camtasia Studio supports all
the popular video and
animation standards, and
allows you to reach a broad
audience by giving you many
different ways to distribute
your videos including
Screencast.com, CD-ROM,
Flash Web menu, DVD, e-mail, and more. And, since your video was created as a project file, you can
reproduce your video over and over again using different file formats that lend themselves to a
particular distribution channel.
Upload Your Video and Any Additional Files to Screencast.com
Screencast.com is a hosting site for business and academic professional users who want an easy-to-use
solution with robust features for hosting and sharing video and other rich media files on the web. The
option to upload your files to Screencast.com is
found within the Custom Production Wizard.
Create a DVD-Ready Video File
Use the DVD production option within the
Recommend my Production Settings Wizard to produce your video in a DVD-ready AVI format.
This means that Camtasia Studio properly sizes and encodes your video with the highest quality options
for use with most 3rd party DVD authoring software applications. Just import your final AVI video into
your DVD project and you are ready to go.
Create a CD Menu Using MenuMaker
Camtasia MenuMaker allows you to create an attractive menu to launch your video, documents,
graphics, and other multimedia files. Using MenuMaker, you can easily create a CD-ROM that
automatically launches the custom menu displayed – a perfect way to distribute information to
customers, students, workgroups, and more.
Publish a Video for Web Distribution Using Theater
Theater for Camtasia Studio adds DVD-like navigation to your screen videos in Flash format. Using
Theater's menu, your users can quickly navigate between multiple Flash movies or view them all in a
pre-defined sequence. Theater presentations can be viewed online and on CD-ROM.
Create a Pack and Show Self Running File
Pack and Show creates a Windows-executable file that your viewers can double-click to automatically
unpack the file, install the TSCC codec and Camtasia Player and then view the video. No special setup
or installation is needed.
Send the Video as an E-mail Attachment
Use the e-mail production option within the Recommend my Production Settings Wizard to produce
your video in an e-mail friendly format. At the end of production process, Camtasia Studio opens a new
e-mail for you with your video contained as an attachment.

timing of each clip, add or remove clips, edit frames, add sound, and much more. You can also add
Quizzes, Callouts, and Zoom effects to your video. These kinds of effects are called Elements and are
represented on the Timeline tracks as different colored icons.
Tracks can be turned on or off using the Tracks button on the Timeline Toolbar.

Position the seek bar at the point where you want to make the split. Click the Split button.
To Unlock a Track
Click the Locked     icon on the Timeline track that you want to

                                                           professional looking videos. This section lists
                                                           some of the more popular features.
                                                           Voice Narration
                                                           Adding voice narration allows you to narrate
                                                           your video as you play clips on the Timeline.
                                                           Once the narration is complete, your audio
                                                           file is added to the Timeline in synch with
                                                           your video clip(s).
                                                           Transitions
                                                            Transition effects allow you to insert
                                                            animated effects that smoothly transition one
                                                            clip to the next. There are many different
Transitions to choose from to get just the right look that you need or
want for your video.
Markers
A Marker allows you to add a placeholder within your video. You
can also produce your video with a table of contents which displays
the Markers as hyperlinks in the Web page providing easy
                                           navigation points for
                                           your viewer.
                                            Zoom-n-Pan
                                            Zoom-n-Pan effects
                                            allow you to zoom in and out on certain areas of the video,
                                            calling attention to important screen movements or actions
                                            your audience may miss. The Zoom-n-Pan option works by
                                            inserting key frames that tell Camtasia Studio when to zoom
                                            in and when to
                                            zoom out.
PIP
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) allows you to place a video clip
over another video, with both the clips playing together. One
of the clips, typically a talking head camera video, usually
appears in a smaller window, so the viewer can see which
clip forms the main theme.
Title Clips
Title Clips are image clips that allow you to add a title
before the video begins, add chapter headings between clips,
and credits or other information at the end of your video. You can save and export Title Clips as image
files to easily import into other video projects.

      Callouts
A Callout is a graphic you add to the Timeline so an
image displays in the produced video. Callouts draw
attention to an important object or process shown on
the screen. Or, combined with text, they can give
                                additional tutorial or
                                instructional

                                You can blur a
                                portion of the screen
                                by adding a Blur
                                Callout. This allows
you to professionally mask or hide any confidential
or sensitive information that might be seen in your
screen recording.
Hot Spot Callout
Turn your Callout into a Flash Hot Spot to add
interactivity to a Callout when it is produced as a
Flash movie. For example, add interactivity to make chapters in your video that the viewer can easily
jump to, or, to take the viewer to a Web site after they have finished watching the video.

Camtasia Recorder is a simple but powerful screen- recording component that allows you to capture cursor movements, menu selections, pop-up windows, layered windows, typing, and anything else you see on your screen. In addition to straight screen recording, Recorder’s advanced features allow you to draw, annotate, and add effects during recording. Enhance your recordings with cursor and object highlighting, graphic and image annotations, watermarks, time stamps, captioning, and audible mouse clicks. Making your First Recording The easy to use New Recording Wizard launches automatically when you choose the Start a new project by recording the screen option: . Step through the wizard to create your first recording. When you have completed your recording, your video is placed on the Camtasia Studio Timeline to edit, produce, and share. Recorder’s Key Concepts Toolbars: The main toolbar on the Recorder screen, contains several options for quick access. To display any or all of the other toolbars, choose the desired toolbar from the View dropdown menu. Once enabled, a small bullet appears next to the toolbar name. Options: Next to several of the tool buttons a small, black down-arrow displays. Clicking on the down- arrow opens a dropdown menu of options related to that tool. Draw on the Screen: The ScreenDraw feature allows you to draw on your desktop while you record a video.

  • 5. Camtasia Studio Getting Started Guide Step 2: Edit and Enhance The second step in creating your new video project is to edit and enhance your video. Camtasia Studio’s main interface allows you to import video, audio, and image files into a video project. Imported files, called clips, reside in the Clip Bin for easy access. To put a clip on the Timeline for editing, simply drag and drop it from the Clip Bin down to the Timeline. The Timeline is the primary working area for your editing work. Once clips are on the Timeline, you can: • Adjust timing or position • Cut or split • Add Transitions between clips • Modify the audio • Record voice narration • Add a picture-in-picture video For more information, see page 9. You can also add Transitions, Quizzes, interactive Callouts, and Zoom effects to your video. Edit & Enhance Key Concepts Combine Media: Use the Timeline to combine various multimedia elements such as video clips, still images, and audio tracks. You can join these clips in any number and order that you desire. Undo/Redo: When editing, undo or redo the editing until you are completely satisfied with the video. Preserves Originals: Editing clips on the Timeline doesn’t affect the original files or the files in the Clip Bin. Multiple Instances: To show a clip more than once, repeatedly drag to the Timeline from the Clip Bin. Add Title Clips: Add a graphic before your video clip to act as a title, place a graphic between video clips to function as a chapter heading, or insert a graphic at the end of your video to feature your credits. Resizing is Easy: Automatically resize a clip on the Timeline by dragging the end of a clip to make the clip shorter. Once a clip has been sized smaller, drag the end of the clip again to make it longer. www.techsmith.com Step 2: Edit and Enhance • 3
