Camtasia Mac 2.0 Out Now

Posted Dec.20, 2011 under Camtasia for Mac, Mac

TechSmith just launched Camtasia 2.0, a popular screen casting application for the Mac. The update adds many features. Some of the new nifty ideas are added annotation support, improved editor controls, and a nice blur effect to block out sensitive information.

Key Features:

  • Mobile and hardware device frames enable content to look as though it’s being played on a device such as the iPad, iPhone or Mac.
  • Graphic annotations such as speech bubbles, arrows, shapes, lines and text give users more options to create more engaging videos.
  • Blur functionality allows users to block out sensitive or private text or images.
  • Cursor FX highlights the mouse positioning and where it clicks on the screen to help viewers more easily follow the action.
  • Extend Frame saves time by enabling users to lengthen a video frame to give more time to highlight specific elements in that frame, or to provide more narration time.
  • Tilt and restore animations make it easy for users to manipulate video into a more effective display.
  • Effects timelines make it easier to create custom effects within a screen recording.
  • Great improvements to overall performance and user experiences.

In addition to the visual effects, the new version of Camtasia for Macintosh also offers mobile and hardware device frames that give your videos the appearance of playback on a mobile device, cursor highlighting so your videos automatically zoom in on the place where your mouse or cursor is on screen, and new frame and timeline extension tools that lengthen video frames or squeeze in some visual effects without losing audio sync.

Camtasia Awarded “Best Mac App of 2011″

Posted Dec.13, 2011 under Camtasia for Mac, Mac

Camtasia for Mac 2.0 voted as Top 10 Mac App.

Mashable has crowned the new Camtasia for Mac version 2 as one of 10 Best Mac Apps of 2011.

Christina Warren writes “The race for “best screen capture Mac app” got a lot more stiff with the release of TechSmith’s Camtasia 2 for Mac. At $99.99, the app goes head-to-had with Telestream’s excellent ScreenFlow 3.

The apps share a number of similar features — including built-in editing, annotations, motion and tilting options and the ability to add call-outs and emphasize cursor movements.

Camtasia 2 for Mac features a new device framing feature that makes it easy to showcase how an even would look running on an iPhone or iPad. That, coupled with some of the new closed-captioning features just edge out ScreenFlow 3 in our tests for screen captures.”

We can only agree. Check out Camtasia Mac 2.0 here.

Camtasia Mac 1.1 Out Now

Posted Apr.09, 2010 under Mac, News

Camtasia for Mac 1.1There has been alot of exciting news on the PC side of Camtasia lately, but today I have some interesting stuff happening on the Mac side…

Following the feedback from the Mac community, Camtasia for Mac has now its first ever update since the first release, Camtasia for Mac version 1.1. This upgraded version has been updated with the most frequently requested features. The new version includes the following new features:

  • Region Capture

A specific area on your screen can now be selected instead of recording the entire screen. You don’t need to crop and zoom anymore as you will be recording only the exact part that you want to capture.

  • Audio Enhancements

Noises coming from clicking, typing, fan and other distractions can now be removed. This audio enhancement can also regulate the pitch of your voice and remove the clicking sound when you’re speaking closely to the microphone.

  • Monitor Selection

If you have multiple displays on your Macintosh, you can now select which monitor you’d like to record.

  • Voice-Only Recording

This feature allows you to capture only the microphone audio without recording the screen video. You can also create and edit a voice-over separate from the screen recording so you can easily make changes in the narration.

  • Pause and Resume

If you’re recording a long video, you can now go into “Pause” mode while trying to gather your thoughts or clear your throat. With this feature, unwanted content can be avoided while recording.

Using these new features will surely result in a hassle-free recording experience and high quality projects.

For current users of Camtasia for Mac 1.0, start using these new features now by checking for an update directly in your software then select Install Update on the Software Update window.

Until next time ;-)

Camtasia for Mac Review

Posted Sep.18, 2009 under Camtasia for Mac, Mac


camtasia_mac_box

Hello Friends,

Finally I am proud to give you some great news that many of you  have been waiting for or know someone who would appreciate that Camtasia for Mac has been released!

TechSmith  the leading provider of screen-capture and screen-recording solutions never disappoint their clients they are always ready to listen to you and provide what you the consumer needs.

If you are a Snagit fan no worries the Snagit for Mac is in development but in the mean time we have an alternative screen capture software that works with Mac ‘Voila‘. If you would like to be updated on the development of Snagit for mac you may subscribe here.

As a  Windows user who recently purchased an  iMac I downloaded the 30-day trial version to try Camtasia for Mac myself and truly it offers super cool things any Mac user would not want to miss.

I will give you a sneak preview of my findings…

SmartFocus®

TechSmith’s proprietary technology that keeps track of every detail that I use when editing, details such as window size, location, typing and mouse clicks – that sure saved me a “wholatta” time!

Camera Recording

Lets me capture a video from my iSight or a DV camera connected via firewire.

cammac-prod1Production Wizard

The Production Wizard allowed me to choose  which program I want to use to share, export or upload my work. With a bunch of options to choose including – upload to Screencast.com or Youtube.com, share export to iTunes, produce it into an MPEG-4, QuickTime Movie, AVI, DV Stream, 3G, and audio-only formats AIFF and AU.

Advanced Export

It gives me option to change the settings and export it to all standard formats.

camtasiaformaceditorFamiliar Timeline

Good thing, the timeline still looks and functions the way it is in Camtasia Studio for windows where I can add, rearrange and drag-and-drop videos and images. Thus, less confusion and no adjustment needed on this part (that is if you’re already a Camtasia Studio user).

So what didn’t I like about Camtasia for Mac.. it does not offer all the features that Camtasia Studio for windows offers but is still bound to create a stir among the top video recording mac software already available in the market.

Before I forget the price is another plus Camtasia for Mac is  currently offered at a very low introductory price of $97.00 . Apparently its a limited offer so be warned.
