Your explanations are clear, and not too fast. There is enough time to follow your actions. This is what makes a really good video, plus the great content as well! Thank you.
You're welcome. Thank you for watching! Feel free to join my Camtasia Help group if you want, where I personally answer questions and help each other: cotovan.com/group
Glad you like them! Always happy for any questions or ideas! Also, have you checked out my new Facebook Camtasia Group? cotovan.com/group - you're welcome to join, I'm answering questions personally in there and also providing some free stuff.
I most certainly enjoyed this tutorial. I knew some, but defo not all. Especially your last trick has been invaluable to me in my line of work ... luckily it was one I already had in my arsenal. So thank you! I have a pc in the office, and a mac at home, and try to find out what the differences are. I don't know whether you have a tutorial on using the keyboard shortcut editor, but I find that quite useful too.
Great to hear! The PC and Mac versions do have some differences, and it's hard to decide which one is best because they each have some extra over the other or are missing something that the other has... it's hard to maintain feature parity across OSes I suppose. I don't have a keyboard shortcut tutorial yet. What would you be interested in seeing?
Thank you, happy to hear it was useful. Are you referring to the red annotations that appear like they are drawing themselves? That's an asset available in Camtasia.
Dear Cristi will you make more videos about Camtasia Tips & Tricks like this. I really enjoyed this video & Seen many times. I Can's Explain how much helpful this video is! Thank a lot offering us such type of videos.❤
Sure thing! I'm preparing A LOT of new videos! Short and long. Thank you for watching and please let me know if you have questions, maybe I'll make a video on those.
Thanks for this video, how to join 2 segments without any selection. The secund question how to improve the performance of camtasia 2020 ,specially when the project is quiet big because in this case the camtasia is slow and laggy . With many thanks .
Not sure I understand your first question: joining two segments of a clip to make them behave like a single clip? You can 'stitch' them together but only if they were originally part of the same media file. If they are from different files, they can't be stitched. You can select and group the two clips so they stay together in a group and can be moved around, cut, split, etc. just like a normal clip. If you want to make cuts and not worry about moving the clips to fill the gaps, you can enable Magnetic track. This will glue together any clips on the same track as soon as space is created between them. As far as performance, Camtasia has a performance problem, even in the 2021 version but you can help by having a SSD to store the media files you work with. Also it helps if you have plenty of RAM to avoid swapping. If it's a larger project, I recommend breaking it apart into sections and editing them individually, if you can. Then at the end you can stitch the exported produced files together, using something like Losslesscut, which is free and very fast, it stitches video together from multiple files without re-encoding, so there's no loss of quality: ua-cam.com/video/USMXFmJfYZo/v-deo.html Let me know if you have more questions, happy to help.

Hi Kevin, you can find all the shortcuts in the program Preferences, there's a 'Shortcuts' tab. That's where you can also change them. Camtasia doesn't have too many shortcuts though.
@@Graphicious The option click works for the last frame, I've used that before, but inside the video shift E doesn't work and right click doesn't show Extend Frame. Some features lag on OSX, this is one. No biggie, but sometimes a bit frustrating.
Dear Christi, very grateful! How do I do it when I want to cut an even smaller piece of video footage than the arrow space normally allows? Is it possible to crop millimeters from a video?
The cuts are really up to the frame. No more than that, so you'll want to maybe increase your project frame rate to 60fps to allow finer cuts, but that's about it.
Depends on the transition. You can make the duration of the transition the same as the animation used to remove the callout. I hope I understood your question.
According to this document, there's no shortcut listed for Mac: www.techsmith.com/learn/tutorials/camtasia/ripple-move-and-extend-frame It hate that Camtasia doesn't have feature parity across operating systems.
Great - this is a keeper. Thanks. My question: What if right at the start of my project I have a video of (say) me speaking, and I want to take a second or two out of the start of it? At that point, only the one track has anything on it, but when I delete the few seconds, I want all the later items on the other tracks to move left in sync. How do I do that?
I have that situation sometimes too. You can select the beginning and CTRL + X (which will cut the selection out and shift everything LEFT, no matter what track they are on. But if you have other tracks with things that you need to stay put and only several OTHER tracks with clips you want to pull forward, I've found that you need to slice the clip you want to cut, remove the beginning part, then zoom out, select everything else and shift left. Another way (again, if you want everything on all tracks to shift forward), SHIFT + DRAG of the playhead will work both ways - to push stuff to the right, as shown in this video, and shift stuff to the left too. Hope this helps.
Trying to figure out how to delete, but move every clip in all timelines by the deleted time. Right now it only moves the clip I am deleting from. The issue is a lot of the annotations and stuff are not continuous so those parts of the tracks 7 and 8 are scattered and separated. Yeah neither regular delete or ripple delete work to keep those annotations tagged hm... maybe turning the tracks off.
Unfortunately, Camtasia doesn't support audio filters. Any audio editing beyond noise removal, ducking, gain adjustment and normalization must be done in external programs.
I will have a tutorial for that very soon! Thanks for the idea. The one you see there was made in Adobe AfterEffects, but that's overkill. It can easily be done in Camtasia.
I see. Honestly, I hardly ever use those. I find it easier to highlight, mark, emphasize and indicate things on my videos after the recording phase. I'll check them out and create a video about them.

Christi, FANTASTIC video on essential but simple edits, thanks so much for creating. How did you do the transitions on your annotations?

Hi Kevin, you can find all the shortcuts in the program Preferences, there's a 'Shortcuts' tab. That's where you can also change them. Camtasia doesn't have too many shortcuts though.

Hi! I want to know how to better time a callout and transition so that they leave the canvas at the same time. Any tips?
Depends on the transition. You can make the duration of the transition the same as the animation used to remove the callout. I hope I understood your question.
Thank you. The SHIFT shortcut for ripple move doesn't seem to work on Mac. Is there another way to do it?

Have you tried Ctrl - Backspace? If the tracks are not locked, it should pull everything forward
How to use an audio filter like in OBS? I am using Camtasia 2019.
Thx
Unfortunately, Camtasia doesn't support audio filters. Any audio editing beyond noise removal, ducking, gain adjustment and normalization must be done in external programs.
@@Graphicious Thank you for the explanation.
Bro how did you make the pop up Subscribe button at 9:20 secs ?
Can you please help?
Many thanks in advance
I will have a tutorial for that very soon! Thanks for the idea. The one you see there was made in Adobe AfterEffects, but that's overkill. It can easily be done in Camtasia.
Thanks a lot Brother 🙏😍
Please show how it can be made in camtasia or canva. Waiting for it😃🌹
Its request if u upload a video on screen recording that how to use TOOLS while screen recording by camtasia
I'd like to, but what tools do you mean?
@@Graphicious I want to know that how to use effects while recording
@@CompetitiveExamsInfo You can't use effects while recording, only after the video has been recorded and imported into Camtasia.
@@Graphicious drive.google.com/file/d/1CsOmdafSFqVmLuQv3UqLsVVxZD34iFSX/view?usp=drivesdk
I'm taking about these tools and effects
I see. Honestly, I hardly ever use those. I find it easier to highlight, mark, emphasize and indicate things on my videos after the recording phase. I'll check them out and create a video about them.
how to scroll camtasia timeline like premiere pro. (only using mouse scroll up down)
Shift + scroll
@@Graphicious I want to scroll only using mouse without pressing shift everytime is it possible?
I don't think so. Scrolling without shift scrolls vertically
@@Graphicious But in premiere pro its possible, everytime using shift button seems tiredsome.
It's the same in Premiere - Shift + Scroll
