New to this version is the ability to get some nice control over fading in and fading out and volume levels for an audio track. OK…I’ve always had extremely mixed feelings about Camtasia’s “Audio Enhancements” like Noise Removal, Volume-Leveling, etc. No more having these effects burned directly into your recording. You can also just make your cursor bigger! Included are also the long awaited “spotlight” & “magnify” effects and a cool new “warp” effect. Now, as long as you save your recording as a CAMREC file, you can add or modify all those attention-drawing items (and more) at editing time! In previous versions, you could add a little highlight, or rings when clicked, etc. image to indicate keystrokes for your viewer. I haven’t played with this one enough to decide if it’s useful but you can also just insert a “Control-C, or “ALT-D”, etc. These let you show viewers exactly what keystrokes you used and when you used them. It’s like you have a pen (your choice of color, thickness, etc.) and you can have a circle or oval, square or rectangle, or arrows drawn in the video in real-time to highlight an area. I love these! They are animated callouts that you can use that “draw” themselves! The legacy ones are all there but a new batch of shapes have a much nicer, less cheezy look and Effects like transparency, new Styles with greater control over how they look.Ī few new “specialty” Callouts are also available: Sketch Motion Callouts Techsmith is providing some Library additions that you can grab:Ĭamtasia 7 has some upgrades & additions to it’s Callouts. I like the fact that they have include some royalty free music tracks to use and some wicked cool new animated backgrounds, Title clips, and lower third “sets’” from folks like Digital Juice that you can use!Īnd also, you can share libraries with others. You can also highlight any content on the timeline and right-click to ADD it to your library making it ready for future use! This is especially handy for Title clips & Splash Intros or anything else you might want to “re-use” in future projects with a simple drag-n-drop. One click access to all this stuff is useful enough but it gets even better… One of the most useful things is a new Library feature that let’s you store all of your video elements (music, custom callouts, sound effects, video backgrounds, etc.) in one place! Nice… Especially as it incorporates some of the new features and how you access them. That being said, I’m finding it to be a well layed out structure as I work with it more & more. It is, after all, a major interface change. I’ll be honest with ya…it does take a little getting used to if you’re a seasoned Camtasia user. The first thing you’ll notice is a sporty new look in Camtasia Studio.
