Camtasia Videos with Chipmunks Audio

Posted Jul.20, 2009 under Camtasia Upgrade, Tips, Tutorials

sound-on1Hi 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 :-)

Posted Jun.16, 2009 under Callouts, Camtasia Features

We have developed a Camtasia add-on callout graphics Package called SuperStamps.

SuperStamps includes 197 professionally designed graphics/icons in that you can access and use directly from Camtasia Studio.

As a small token of our appreciation to you, we are now giving away a smaller version with 20 New images (not included in SuperStamps) to all Camtasia Guide visitors.

You can freely download this package and use it in both educational, commercial or for private use. The only thing we ask you is to not resell it.

Download your Camtasia Callout SuperStamps MiniPack here.

See below for some examples of what’s included.

Already a SuperStamps owner?

Do not dispair, this bonus pack includes 20 Completely new icons not included in your original package.

What’s it for?

You can use SuperStamps directly from inside Camtasia Studio. Just download the .zip folder and unpack it. When setting up Callouts in Camtasia, just choose Custom Callout and include the SuperStamp callout you want.

But SuperStamps also work excellent in:

- Snagit as a stamp
- Microsoft Office to enhance reports/whitepapers and so on
- PowerPoint
- And any application where you can use graphics to enhance your statement.

I have an old version of Camtasia?

No worries, you can use SuperStamps MiniPack with all versions of Camtasia. But if you are ready to start using Camtasia 6.0 with support for HD you can upgrade Camtasia.

What about Copyright?

SuperStamps and SuperStamps MiniPack come with a generous license agreement. You can use these icons even in commercial products or work. The only thing you can’t do is to resell them as graphics or part of a graphics pack.

What’s included?

To keep the size of this email down I have just included smaller image examples. The actual images is 256×256 pixels and because they are made in PNG format you can make them as big as you like without any quality loss.

Camtasia 6.0

Posted Feb.20, 2009 under Camtasia Features, News

If you think, your Camtasia Studio 5 is the best thing you’ve ever got, then you’re wrong. A few months back Techsmith launched its newest version, Camtasia Studio 6.0. With exciting new features added, you’d absolutely want to get your hands on it.

I would have written about it earlier, but I was just too busy building the worlds best software store! Now I hopefully have some more time on my hands trying out all the cool new features.

Some features that you should take a deeper look at:

Unlink audio and video tracks
This feature allows you to decouple the video and audio track, these tracks can then be locked edited independently of each other.

Customizable Hotkeys
7 additional hotkeys with which you can customize for you to save time in editing.

Production Presets
You can configure as to how you want your work to be shared and the dimensions to use. The options are Web, Blog, CD, DVD-Ready, HD, iPhone, iPod, Screencast.com, and Youtube.

Preview Window
Here’s what I think is cool, with the preset configured, a window will show the preview of how the video will look with the chosen dimensions. You can also see a preview of your work while and after editing.

Perspective Tilt
On the Zoom and Pan window, you can zoom one  side of the video into different perspective. It’s as if looking on a flat screen on different angle you prefer for your audience.

Upload to Screencast.com
If you have a screencast account, you can upload your video to Screencast.com by signing in. With a free storage space and monthly bandwidth of 2gb for Free accounts that you can absolutely take advantage of.

Camtasia Studio 6.0 will fill you appetite for smart video recording, editing and sharing.

Go here to read more about Camtasia 6.0 and if you’re already a proud owner check out: Upgrade Camtasia

Until next time ;-)
