Hello, this is Cristi. In today's very short tutorial for Camtasia video editing
I would like to go through the main things you need to configure before you can record, edit
and export or produce your project at 60 frames per second. By default Camtasia works with 30
frames per second, so if you want to capture your screen in 60 frames per second, also edit in 60
frames per second, and then export like that, so that gives you a much smoother playback,
here's what you need to do. And just to mention that the 60 frames per second recording is only
enabled from Camtasia 2020. So, in Camtasia 2019 you can edit and you can export, but you cannot
record at 60 frames per second. That is not supported. So in Camtasia 2020, here are the three
things you need to configure. For you, making sure that you are recording, producing and exporting in
60 frames. So the first thing to do is check your Project settings. You can do that by going to the
top here, where you have the drop-down with the zoom and choose Project settings. And here you
have your resolution, your canvas dimension you can change your Ultra HD or HD or all the
other will formats and sizes, right? And then down here you have the frame rate, which is by default
going to be 30 frames per second, just change that to 60 frames per second. So,
that is the first step, click Apply and move on. The second place, if you're recording your screen,
you want to record in 60 frames per second. It's no point having a 60 frame project,
but then you're recording in 30 frames. It's not going to be as smooth as you want. So
to do that, you need to go to the recording settings. So when you hit Record here,
you're going to get your recorder program showing up and of course change your inputs and everything
else but make sure you record in 60 frame by going to Tools menu, and click Options
and then here you will go to the Inputs, so drop- down this thing here and choose
60 frames instead of 30. 30 frames is going to be the default. So again, change this and also
change the format if you want to TSC, or h.264. I recommend TSC, it's better quality. When you're
done recording, close down the recorder of course, and you're back in Camtasia, and now, edit your
project pull in some new clips and do effects and annotations. I'm not going to do that now,
I'm just going to put a single file here on the timeline, because it doesn't let me go to the
export by going to share local file here. It's not letting me do that because I don't have anything
in my project. So let me bring in a video file and we will carry on. Okay, so I have my project here,
just making sure everything's configured still at 60 frames per second. And now, the third thing you
need to make sure is when you export, you also select 60 frames per second. And to do that,
you go to the Share menu or if you've updated to the latest version, it may say Export at the
top here. That's not a problem. Choose Local file and I will use Custom production settings because
all of these presets I found, they're not so good quality. So if I choose Custom production,
it's going to let me change the settings myself. So choose custom production, moving on,
you know, choose MP4 with smart player if you want. Click next. This is the part where
you need to be careful. I usually take off the Produce with controller because I don't
upload my project online. Go to size, make sure your size is correct. In my case, it's HD which
is fine. And then the third tab here again, look at this frame rate. Make sure that this is again
60 frames per second, not 30. In addition to this, you're going to change the quality here
maybe. I usually export with encoding mode quality and the quality at 74%,
maybe this is going to give you files that are large, but if I upload to Youtube for example,
I like to have the highest quality I can and even Camtasia's telling you,
if you go above this, it's really not, you know, more than 75%. It's not going to give
you much more Improvement in quality, but it's going to give you a much larger file. So
I usually keep it at 74 75. So, when you're done here, you know, make sure 60 frames,
check your audio settings. Again, if you want to bump up the quality of the audio just, you know,
bump it up if you want and click next. So that's going to be, you know, go to the final step and
choose whatever file name and location. So these are the three things you need to make
sure. Obviously, you need to have Camtasia 2020, recording is not supported in 2019 in 60 frames.
Then change your project settings to 60 frames per second. Change your setting in your recorder,
if you you're going to record your screen in 60 frames per second. And finally, make sure
you're sharing, your export settings also say 60 frames per second. So this is it. I hope you found
this useful. Thanks for watching. If you haven't subscribed to my channel, feel free to subscribe.
I'm going to have more Camtasia tutorials on my channel and in the description there's a link
to a playlist with a lot of Camtasia tutorials, all of them for Camtasia 2020, so
plenty of stuff to learn if you're just starting. Thanks again for your time. See you next time.
