Hey what's up guys Rob Balasabas here in this video I want to share with you
5 Timesaving CAMTASIA editing hacks that's really it let's get started my name is ROB BALASABAS HEY!
Before we jump into my screen make sure you SUBSCRIBE make sure you are LIKING this video
leaving a comment any questions that will help us get this video in front of more
CAMTASIA users and also just help more creators alright so let's jump into my screen and let's get
this video started alright so welcome to my screen the first thing we'll do here is we'll grab a
video from my library and just drag it into the timeline right here so this is a video that i
created previously and so the first CAMTASIA time saving editing hack that i want to share
is the ability to zoom in and out on the video preview so the video preview is right here where
you see me with my facebook cookie on with my coffee so what you want to do here if you want
to zoom in or out similar to like this when you want to zoom in or zoom out like that it's really
easy now with a macbook all you need to do is press on command plus or command minus so command
minus will make you zoom out and command plus will allow you to zoom in really easily command plus or
command minus will allow you to do that so that is CAMTASIA editing hack number one CAMTASIA editing
hack number two is if you want to zoom in or out on your clip timeline so my clip timeline is here
on the bottom part of the screen and so if i want to zoom in on a particular part of a clip so that
i can really find edit and find slice a piece of video right here all you need to do is hold
command shift and then plus or minus all right command shift plus will allow you to zoom into
a clip and command shift minus will allow you to zoom out so that you can see multiple clips or the
entire timeline altogether as you see right here the third CAMTASIA editing hack that i want to
share with you is slicing a clip so if you want to go in here and you find a place where you want to
cut or slice a clip without having to go up and doing it manually by clicking on edit and
then slice all you need to do is come in here to the place on the timeline that you want to slice
and then click on command shift t and then you'll see that that has now created a slice and you
can move that clip around as you like the fourth CAMTASIA editing hack that will save you time when
you're editing on CAMTASIA is the delete range so if you are doing edits and so let's pretend
here you made a slice right here and then also you made another slice right around here for example
again command shift t will allow you to slice shortcut
and i took this part right here and that leaves this gap right here in the timeline in the video
rather than moving my clip to make up and close in on that gap i can double click into the gap
and you'll see now this sort of crossed out area this grayed out area and i can double tap on here
and click on ripple delete range okay and that will really just take out that open area that gap
and stitch together those two clips now if you want to put a transition between those two clips
you don't want to do that because that will not allow you to put in a transition but if you want
one continuous clip there's no transition then that is a quick hack that you can do so you don't
have to keep moving clips around over and over and the next time saving tip that i want to share with
you for CAMTASIA when you're editing on CAMTASIA is to group your media files together and adding
it to a library if you want to keep using that grouping over and over again and this is what i
mean so let's pretend i want to add this red arrow image into my clip this one right here
and let's say that we want to make that a little bit bigger right
just like this and i want to point it at my coffee for some reason and along with that i
want to put this pop audio file right here and so we're going to put it together with my red arrow
what i can do here is i can actually select both the audio
and that image file and then right click double tap and then click add to library
it'll ask me now what to name this grouping and so let's just say pop plus arrow test
and i want to use the canvas size and i'm going to click on add and add it to the default library
right here you can have multiple libraries and click on add and now it is here showing up on
the left hand side and so let's say in this part of the video i want to add the pop and arrow again
i'll just take that from the library add it on to this part of the timeline and there it is
the pop in the arrow is going to be there again now you're going to see in the pop and arrow as
a library item it's showing up as one it's already grouped together so it's one item
uh versus the original which was separated the audio and video separated that's a really
bad still image of me but hey you know what it's all good and so now you'll see that that
pop and arrow is together so i can just keep using that over and over again such a time saver you can
do this for titles you can do this for if you're a vlogger and you have locations or if you are
creating tutorial content and you want to have different sections to your tutorials with a pop
or some sort of audio file along with that text you want to do that you can group these together
so that they can be added to the library and you can use them over and over again without having
to put them all together again every single time all right well there you have it sorry for the
messy desk but hopefully you're enjoying this new setup here in my studio and hopefully you
found that video helpful make sure you subscribe i am really gearing to hit 10,000 subscribers so

from you so regardless leave a comment say hello and i'll see you in the NEXT VIDEO!
