Hello Friends!
As we continue to master Camtasia Studio, today I will show you a tip in producing a screencast that will surely capture your viewer’s attention and at the same time deliver your key points!
Add an extra kick to your screencast by using Title Clip. Title Clips, allow you to add graphic/text to introduce a video, set chapters or display relevant information like credits or video resources.
Here’s the step-by-step instructions on how to create a basic Title Clip:
1. Open Camtasia Studio and Record or Open and existing Video.
2. Once you’re done select ‘Title Clips’ from the Task List.
3. On the Title Clips pane, enter your desired text for the clip.
4. If you want to add background image to your clip, click on ‘Image’ option, then hit ‘Browse’ and locate your desired image to add.
5. If you want to change the background color, simply click on Color button and select your preferred color.
6. For additional texts, you can just type within the box in the pane.
- To change the size of the text box, simply drag the handles of the green rectangle in the Preview Window.
- To move the position of the text, simply drag the green rectangle in the Preview Window then click Finished!
Your title clip will be automatically added to the Clip Bin where you can conveniently use in the future with the drag-and-drop function.
How to Change Duration of Your Title Clip
Just drag the title clip onto the Timeline in your video. By default, the duration of the Title Clips on a Timeline is five seconds, to change the duration, you may do the following:
1. Select Tools
2. Go to Options
3. Click Programs Tab
4. Choose Title Clips
5. Set the amount of time for your Title Clips to display.
That’s all there is to it, I hope you find this tip very handy in your next Camtasia Studio screencast.
Until Next Time
