Some call Camtasia Studio 5 the world's smartest screen recording software. Why? Because it adapts to your workflow, not the other way around. And its intelligent tools keep your message—your ideas—squarely in the spotlight. It works like this:

sdfsdRecord ................. Edit and Enhance........... .Share

Record whatever you want, right now, at any size. Decide how to use it later.

Edit and Enhance to clarify and amplify your message.

Share your creation anywhere, in multiple formats.
These are revolutionary ideas. We think you'll agree...

 

Add audio now or later

A picture’s worth a thousand words, but even a video is helped by a little narration. With Camtasia Studio you can capture audio while you’re recording...or add narration and music later.

Convert PowerPoint to compelling video

The Camtasia Studio toolbar inside of PowerPoint makes it one-click-easy to record your presentations, either live or from the comfort of your desk. And you get much more than just a slideshow. Camtasia Studio captures everything—exact slide timing, animations, sound effects, narration, webcam video, and any Web pages or applications displayed onscreen during the presentation. It's the next best thing to being there!

Connecting with your audience

Google Desktop creates cached copies (snapshots) of your files and other items each time you view them, and stores these copies on your computer's hard drive. As a result, you can often use Desktop to find items you accidently deleted, instead of having to recreate them from scratch.

Even if a presentation is recorded, allowing viewers to see the speaker creates a human connection. Aim a webcam at the presenter, and Camtasia Studio will capture and synchronize that video with the screen recording. Simple!
You can also record webcam video alone with Camtasia Studio, to create a video blog.

Record podcasts
You don’t need a separate tool to create podcasts. Use Camtasia Studio to record high-quality standalone audio, and then publish it in MP3 format. Upload to iTunes. Talk to the world.

Improved! New in Camtasia 5.1
Focus attention with Spotlight and Highlighter callouts

You have two new options for drawing attention to areas of the screen. Spotlight dims everything on the screen except for the part you want to emphasize. Highlighter is like applying a bright, bold highlighter pen to the screen. Both callouts grab attention...and look great!

Add callouts faster, edit them easily
Now you can add callouts with fewer clicks and edit them more intuitively. And if you want to add a lot of callouts with the same style, one after the other, that's much easier, too.

Set the mood with a music track
Open and close your screencast with a theme...or use music to segue between sections. With a third audio track now available on the timeline, it's easy to add background music to your videos.

“There is simply no other screen capture and production tool in the same class” - Geoff Spillane, Software Developer

Edit powerfully
Not a multimedia expert? Don’t panic. Camtasia Studio’s editing studio will make you look like one...

Preview the final result before it's final
Before you start editing, let Camtasia Studio know how you intend to use your video—Web, CD, blog, iPod, etc.—and you'll see a live preview of the final result the whole time you're editing. No surprises!

Edit to perfection

What if I sneeze? Camtasia Studio makes it easy to cut the sections of your video you don’t want and rearrange the sections you do. Add, cut, splice, join, and move sections of video or audio. Zoom in on the timeline to edit each track with frame-by-frame precision.

Take control with zoom and pan

You can always tweak the zooms and pans produced automatically by Camtasia SmartFocus. Or simply add your own from scratch. Zoom in to show details, and pan to move vertically or horizontally across the screen.
Delight viewers with photos and music
Don't limit yourself to screen capture video! Engage, inform, and delight viewers by importing other content. Movie clips, photos, music, animations—Camtasia Studio makes it a cinch to pull them into your project.
Add professional polish

Title clips introduce your video with a splash, and are super easy to create. They also divide chapters, list closing credits, or provide contact information. Use any of the 25 transition effects to move smoothly (or whimsically!) between clips. Plus, Camtasia Studio gives you tools to enhance and optimize audio quality.
Embed closed captioning (subtitles)

Make your videos more accessible for hearing impaired viewers, or for those who speak other languages, by adding closed captioning (subtitles) on or below your video. Learn how to add closed captioning (subtitles) to your video now.
Put the presenter inside or beside

Give your video a personal touch by displaying the presenter with the presentation. The webcam video can be embedded in the screen capture video (picture-in-picture) or placed next to it (side-by-side).
Engage audiences with callouts and Flash interactivity

Add a spiffy-looking arrow to direct attention. Use a speech bubble to provide details. Shine a virtual spotlight on your content. Turn a static presentation into an interactive experience with clickable Flash hot spots. Jump viewers to a specific place in the video or to an external Web page. Not a Flash developer? No worries...Camtasia Studio makes it all drag-and-drop simple.
Measure impact with a quiz or survey
Want to know what your viewers think or how much they’ve learned? Ask them! Camtasia Studio makes it very, very easy to embed Flash quizzes or surveys anywhere in your video. Ask multiple-choice or open-ended questions. Responses can be sent to a SCORM-compliant learning management system or your e-mail inbox.

 

Camtasia Studio makes it a piece of cake to share video in the format and size your audience wants. Mac or PC, 24-inch widescreen or iPhone, here, there, anywhere...we'll make it easy on you.
The right output...the first time

Spending an hour producing ten versions of your video to test different settings is the old, bad way.
Now if you want to produce a video at the right size and settings for your blog, just click the Blog button, then preview. A moment later, you're watching a 30-second preview of your video to see how it will look. Works the same for Web, CD, or iPod. Simple and quick.
Preview is also great for comparing the results of specific compression settings (Flash SWF vs. Flash Video FLV vs. QuickTime H.264) without producing the whole video. The old way is for the birds.
ExpressShow – The silver bullet for simple sharing

Produce once, into multiple formats

Giving your audience multiple playback options doesn’t have to be painfully time-consuming. With Camtasia Studio, you can produce into several different file formats with a single production process. Simply choose the primary file format you want, then add on an iPod, MP3, and/or PowerPoint file, and produce them all at once!

Customise playback controls and pre-loaders

Camtasia Studio’s customizable playback controls and pre-loaders give you the flexibility to match your videos to a corporate image, or just give them a newer, cooler look. Choose from a variety of styles during production or delve into the source files to create your own styles from the ground up.

A clickable table of contents can simplify navigation for your viewer. Camtasia Studio makes it easy to create an interactive table of contents within a single video. Or, if you have a series of videos that you’d like to link together, you can use either Camtasia MenuMaker for CD delivery or Camtasia Theater for Web delivery. These companion applications are included with Camtasia Studio.

“…people are raving about the new features and quality of my Camtasia Studio videos.” –Bill Myers, copywriter and video trainer
