The Editor allows import of various types of video, audio and image files including MP4, AVI, MP3, WAV, PNG, JPEG and other formats into the Camtasia proprietary TREC format, which is readable and editable by Camtasia. In order to provide localized versions of the produced videos, subtitles can be added with the captioning feature. On the Timeline, overlays of various types like annotations may be added, including user-defined settings, such as when and how to display the cursor and pan-and-zoom effects such as the Ken Burns effect.

The Library stores reusable media across multiple projects. In Camtasia (also known as the Editor), the Media Bin is where media (screen recordings, voiceovers.) for the current project are stored. Windows users may also install an add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint that will allow them to initiate recording of a presentation from within PowerPoint itself. Camtasia also supports dubbing in other audio tracks or voiceover during post-capture editing.

Camtasia Recorder allows audio (and webcam) recording while screen recording is in progress, so the presenter can capture live narration during a tutorial or presentation. The TREC file can be saved to disk or directly imported into the Camtasia component for editing. In Camtasia Recorder, users can start and stop recording with shortcuts at any time, at which point the recording is halted and Camtasia Recorder can render the input that has been captured into the TREC format. Third step is to export the produced video, as a local file ( MP4.), or to upload it to a media or file sharing platform ( YouTube, Google Drive.). Second step is to edit into Camtasia the recorded video, adding transitions, annotations and all kind of advanced editing features and effects (cursor effects, visual effects.). Multi-display configurations are supported. The features are structured around the 3 main steps of the program workflow: record, edit and export/share.įirst step is to record a video (from a specific region or fullscreen) with Camtasia Recorder.
