Welcome to the Camtasia tutorials! In this video, I'll walk you through the
basics of recording your screen, then editing and sharing your video.
Let's get started! Right now you're in the Camtasia editor.
The editor is made up of the timeline, where you can arrange and edit your clips
The tools panel, where your media is stored, along with shapes, animations, effects and more
The canvas, where you position, resize and preview your media
and the properties panel, where you fine tune your media and effects
To start a recording, click the Record button at the top of the tools panel.
This hides the editor and opens the Camtasia recorder
By default, the recorder is set to capture everything that happens on your screen.
To customize the capture settings, choose
the custom button to change the recording area, the camera button, to enable webcam recording
and the audio button, to enable audio recording.
Click the arrows next to each to customize their settings.
If you're on a Mac, the recorder looks a little different.
Use the toggle buttons to enable or disable screen recording, webcam, microphone and the system audio.
System audio is the sound that comes from your computer.
Click the arrows next to each to customize their settings.
When you're ready, click record and Camtasia will countdown until the recording begins
Hi everyone, this is a quick tutorial on how to use Google Drive to upload a file and...
...Copy the link and send it to anyone that needs the file.
Thanks for watching! When you're finished recording, click the
Camtasia recorder icon, then the stop button. And if you're not happy with your recording,
choose delete to try again.
If you're on a Mac, click the Camtasia icon in the Apple menu bar,
then click Stop Recording.
The capture automatically appears in the media bin
on the canvas and on the timeline, Where the top track is audio captured from
your microphone and the bottom track is screen video and system audio.
To preview the recording, click the play button or press the spacebar.
To jump to a point in the video, click on the timeline, or
click and drag the playhead to scrub through the video.
If there's a mistake in the recording, drag a handle on the playhead to select it
and click Cut to remove it.
A stitched line appears to show where the media was removed.
If you cut too much or too little, click Undo to try again
If you make a selection and want to bring the playhead back together,
double click the playhead
To remove extra footage from a recording, click and drag the end of a clip in.
This is called trimming, and if you trim too much, simply drag the clip back to restore your video.
To fine tune your editing, use the zoom slider to zoom in on the timeline.
If you zoom too much or want to see your full project, click the magnifying glass to fit
your entire project to the timeline.
To add additional media, titles or effects, drag them from the tools panel to the timeline.
And to move media on the timeline, click and drag.
If you choose an effect, such as an animation or transition,
clips on the timeline highlight, showing you where they can be applied.
When working on your project, use the canvas to position and resize your media
and the properties panel to fine tune your media and effects.
When you're satisfied with your video, export it as a file on your computer,
share it to popular web destinations,
or upload it to video review and invite your colleagues to review the video.
And when you're done working, don't forget to save the project.
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for watching!
