How to use placeholders in Camtasia | Camtasia Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Using placeholders in Camtasia can save you a lot of time, by defining the placement, length and properties of clips, then dropping other clips in their place. Camtasia automatically replaces, expands or contracts the clips and you can export the resulting clip immediately.
In this tutorial we look at creating a series of clips on the timeline, turning them into placeholders and dropping in different clips in their place. We see how Camtasia remembers the properties and effects of all clips and applies the same to the new clips.

Great thanks to you Cristi. I owe my knowledge to your pro teaching.
You are so welcome! Always glad to hear feedback like this!
The best explanation of placeholders in Camtasia. Thanks a lot.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Cristi, you're the BEST!! FWIW You're the first Channel I go to when I face difficulties like using Placeholders in Camtasia... that's first even before TechSmith's website... which should tell everyone a lot about how useful your videos are!
I decided to use placeholders for the first time today in a video project and couldn't make them work without a lot of wasted effort. After watching just this one short video on your Channel I was able to make the placeholders behave exactly as I needed them to work! Thanks for taking the time to fully explain the options at 8:09 as I never knew what options like "ripple replace" meant or how they work... now I do!
Best,
Matt
Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback. I am glad that video helped. I think I might have to redo it, it's a little old.
@@Graphicious FWIW I used placeholders for the Gift Card graphics in this video

Everything you explained and described in the video seemed to be current in the most recent update to camtasia but if you know of meaningful changes to using Place holders I'm sure other viewers would appreciate your take on those new features and uses as much as I would.
Yeah, I'll wait and see now until next month, when Camtasia 2022 has been announced. We'll see then if I need to update some of the tutorials, if they introduced new stuff.
Very😀 helpful thank you so much!!
Glad to hear that, thanks!
Thank you sir❤️🌹
Most welcome
Thank you so much for the very clear and easy to follow instructions. This will help save me time in video editing.
Great to hear!
Thank you Cristi. Very useful tip
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching.
thank you.
You're welcome
Thank you Sir. İt is very kind of you.
And I would like to say something. If you want to use fade for more than one part, you should select all parts, and drag drop on one of the parts. It's fine. Thank you again.
nice bro. like.

Hello 👋
hello
, what happens if you put in that placeholder a recorded movie that is shorter or longer than the placeholder itself?? Do you then have to move all the elements in the other tracks to adjust it??
You can select Ripple Replace when you add it and it will expand or contract to fit the video, pushing the following clips away or pulling the forward. I forgot whether that affects clips on other tracks too.
everything is easy with a photo. but could not remove how to work with video files? there, when you drag a video of different sizes, the program offers a choice of four menu items, and I don’t know what to press while doing this. and it's a very handy feature.
You probably want to choose Ripple replace most times. This will ensure the placeholder is extended to fit the video and everything pushed back.
I still can’t fill out videos if they differ in size, in duration.
I hope you figured it out now.
why does drag and drop files directly into the program work for you? After all, it seems that this does not work in version 21?
It should work, if the files are supported
@@Graphicious definitely doesn't work. maybe somewhere in the settings?
@@Graphicious i fixed the problem. now everything works!
