Different people have different preferences and choices. Sometimes, there is something about the old  version that  you just  can’t  let go.

And when asked why, you just  cant explain☺

Also, to  keep  you in the loop, the new Camtasia Studio’s newest version is 7.1, has  an improved editing and  Ipad sharing features. For more info, check out Camtasia Studio 7!

Let me tell you how it works:

It RECORDs by capturing your full screen, window or  picture-in-picture with your video camera and you can add audio  such as music tracks or even your own voice in your captured file.

It then EDITs your work by polishing  it with by  adding captions, graphics, animations and more.

After the professional polishing, it can now be SHARED to your audience via youtube and screencast.com among others.

Camtasia Studio  is basically used to make presentations, trainings, seminars an easy  job for you to  create.

For its additional innovative record, edit and sharing features, you may  check out Camtasia Studio 7.1 here

There has never been an easy way to share what you have in mind until Camtasia Studio came, It’s just the best way to speak to the world! ☺

Until next time

I have been so busy putting the last touch to SuperCallouts because I wanted to have it ready as a bonus for you for the launch of Camtasia 7.

So I have only had a few minutes to play with Camtasia 7

But I have to tell you, my first thought after installing it – it’s just an amazing piece of new software. I find it sleeker, more fluid and filled with lots of great new stuff.

What’s New in Camtasia Studio 7

Camtasia Studio has always been more than a simple screen recorder.
Now, with Camtasia Studio 7, Techsmith has redesigned and rebuilt
it to help you generate sophisticated, effective screencasts—faster,
easier, and with more consistency.

Library

as a graphic overlay.

Sketch motion callouts

Call attention to the important bits with animated shapes that
appear to be hand-drawn right onto the video.

Enhance with powerful editing

Precision volume controls

Fade the volume of an audio track up and down at any point in your
video, using simple controls built into the timeline.

Editable cursor effects

Help viewers follow along by enlarging the mouse pointer, making
it a spotlight, or visualizing clicks.

zooms and pans so your content always looks sharp —a huge

Hi There,

As I continue to master Camtasia Studio, I can describe it in a few words  Smart, Friendly and the most Powerful screen recording software I have ever used.

One of the frequently asked questions is a problem with the sound that some of you may  have already encountered after producing your videos.

Have you ever experienced this scenario?

You were recording and everything was going well until the video is produced, that’s when the audio suddenly starts to sound really weird. The sound goes faster and at times takes on a higher tone, more likely compared to a talking chipmunk.

If you have, worry not.

This problem is not related to Camtasia but by your sound device. This can happen mostly on computers running on Windows XP but can also occur in other operating systems. Some people experience the problem because the Sound scheme is by default set on  “Windows default”. Thus, during a recording process whenever a button is pressed, a Windows sound is being generated.

Wanna know how to resolve this? Well, read on…..

Simple turn off the default Windows sound scheme, to do so, please follow these instructions:

1. On your desktop, click on Start button.

2. Go to Control Panel

3. Click on Sounds and Audio Devices.

4. Go to the Sounds tab, this will bring up the Sound and Audio Devices Properties dialog box.

5. Under Sound Scheme, click on the drop-down arrow, then select No Sounds. See image below to clearly follow the instruction.

6. Apply

7.  Then Click on OK

Now, you are all set and chipmunk-talking-free!

As for recorded audio, sorry this  can’t be fixed, you could do the recording again or if not you can remove the chipmunk-like audio and add a newly recorded sound clip.

If you have been sitting on the fence undecided about whether to upgrade your Camtasia Studio I can tell you through experience the upgrade is well worth it. You can checkout the new features of Camtasia Studio 6 that simplify alot of tasks and make you look like a pro.

To proceed and request for the special upgrade price go here.

I hope this has been helpful to you!

Until Next Time
