Adding 2nd audio track to Camtasia screencast

[theprioritizer]

thanks for the very clear presentation! Very helpful

[Devilzin911]

thank you! this was very helpful even tho i'm using the current version now haha

[Nintendozogga]

thx

[guerillabill]

@MyrVictoria Yes, you can add a 3rd audio track in Camtasia.

[robinett11]

im trying to get sound on the computer so like if im playing a game and recording it i have the sound from the game

[guerillabill]

In Camtasia Recorder, use the audio drop down and select 'options'. If the 'sound from speaker' option is available, select it.

If it is not available, your sound card isn't supported, so just turn up the speakers and record with microphone

[knaggelpuff]

Do you know if there is any way to add a second Video track? Like video 2? I know there is PIP, but thats not really what I need.

[guerillabill]

PIP is the 2nd video track. And you can use 'split' track to split the main video and audio tracks to insert other video and audio tracks

Hi, can you please help me. I usually use sony vegas, but when i import this into it, its bad quality, even though its avi. Also when i try to put in an audio and lower it, it does not work, any help?

[guerillabill]

See my DVD, "Camtasia to DVD'. It shows how to set up camtasia so it works well with Sony Vegas & Movie Studio

[jsdman1234]

um, since u know some stuff about it, maybe you can help me, I cant get it to save as a video file,

please help,

[guerillabill]

In Camtasia, select 'file', 'produce video as', and 'custom production settings'.

On the custom production settings, chose the video format you want.

See my YouTube video, 'Camtasia settings for youtube best results' for more details.

[jsdman1234]

ok ty

[fallsgrave]

Help me please!!! I don't know how to import audio onto my video. please help I have trying dragging it from my itunes and from a file that I hold all of the stuff I want on my videos and all i see is a greyed out cross thingy. It looks like this "(/)" cept more detail lol. Please help

[guerillabill]

In Camtasia, select 'file', then 'import media'. Then select the audio file you wish to import.

This will put it in the camtasia media pool.

Then select 'tracks' from the Camtasia timeline, and choose 2nd audio track.

Then drag the audio clip from the camtasia media pool onto the second audio track.

Position, size and adjust volume from there.

[jake7250]

How do I convert AVI to a audio file? To add as Audio 2? Thanks

[guerillabill]

Open the avi file in the free Audacity audio editing program. Doing so will open just the audio portion of the file (in mp3 format), and you can save in any audio file format.

Search google to find the free audacity program download link

hey how do u get that yellow circle around your cursor? and how do u get a red cursor?

[guerillabill]

In Camtasia recorder, choose 'effects', 'options', 'cursor', and select 'highlight cursor'.

Choose the color and opacity of the cursor highlight (circle).

To change the pointer, choose choose 'effects', 'options', 'cursor', and select 'cursor setup'.

Then select the pointer you want to use.

I have the large red arror cursor, which can be downloaded from my site.

How do I Pause the Video for a few seconds? I've added the Audio, but I want the Video to stop while the Audio goes on for a few seconds. Then Unpause the Video to carry on playing once the Audio reach's a certain point.

[guerillabill]

If the audio to be paused is on the second audio track, you can use the split command to split the video at the point you want to pause it. Then insert a still image for the length of the pause, and then drag the split video to start where you want it to restart.

[bunbun13]

how do you like get sound if it's like a game. like get Records sound from the game while recording the screen? cause i can only get the screens.. i want sound from the program too..

[guerillabill]

Open Camtasia Recorder, click Tools > Options and choose the Audio tab.

From the audio tab, set your audio card as the audio device, and for source choose Stereo Mix.

[J2897]

Camtasia is an awesome Desktop recorder, though I prefer Fraps to Camtasia when it comes to recording 3D FX games. Camtasia is better than Fraps in any other scenario IMHO.

How come I saved my vid with audio, and played it on Window Media. But theres no audio?

[guerillabill]

If your video plays audio when in the Camtasia timeline, it should include audio when you publish the movie as .wmv format (or any of the other formats available within camtasia.

[hypermetalsonic]

I'm trying to do Screen recordings.. But there's no sound..

Do I have to do this process to get the sound added?

[guerillabill]

Be sure to enable your microphone in the Camtasia recorder. View the audio level while recording to make sure the microphone is set correctly.

[hypermetalsonic]

nvm.. It seems it wasnt Cam's fault.. it was the prgrams..

But it's all working now

thnx though

[JayCei23]

I'm sure you've heard this, but thanks!! I have camtasia studio 5 and I've been trying to get the audio track 2 just right..this vid will DEFF help me out!

[pepecorridas]

Why is not everyone using this? This is a "must"! You can learn seeing the thinks happen at any time you want. I think I can imagine a FAQ-frequent asked questions- about some internet programe's functionalities based on this. It's great. 1 more comment - the use of a backgroud music is a very good idea to give the presentation more dinamic and fun perspective. I enjoyed it so much!

[GG621]

Is it free?

[guerillabill]

No, Camtasia is not free. But you can download a trial version from techsmith . com

[KGSProductions]

Yes it is! Well now. Its version 3 though.  Its one of "lockergnome"'s videos.

[darkhawk362]

how can i put my own music

[guerillabill]

Use 'import media' to select the audio file from your computer.

Then follow the instructions in the above clip to add that audio to the 2nd audio track

[genchoxhapro]

Yes, I downloaded it for free

[ClubPenguinFan20]

yeeeeeeeeeeee i found a website were you can get it free

[Overcastbeach]

Excellent Presentation - Nice Video.

[puremisticc]

hey man how do u got that yellow circle arround youre mouse?

[guerillabill]

I use Camtasia Studio to record my computer screens. In the Camtasia Recorder, you can select 'option's, and 'pointers', and choose to use a highlight around your mouse pointer.

That's what I have done in the above video.

[CCPROMOTIONS]

AWESOME !

THANKS !

GREAT VIDEO !

[kenolazaro]

i have a question. how do you get the audios from videos. for example, putting the audio audio from the simpsons and putting it in family guy videos

[guerillabill]

You can split the audio in almost any video editing program.

I use Sony Movie Studio to edit videos, and can easily detatch or attach audio from video with just click and drag.

You can do it in Camtasia by deleting all the audio in track 1, and adding the second audio in track 2.

[kenolazaro]

tnx!

[kenolazaro]

r u ganna do a video for that?

[BlitzkoBlitz]

wut cursor is that

[guerillabill]

In Camtasia recorder, you can choose from a number of cursors, and cursor highlight colors and shapes.

In this video, I chose to highlight the cursor with the yellow opaque circle.

This is an option in Camtasia recorder.

[RsJelly]

Very Nice!

[theunforgiving]

wicked

[sora4126]

oh snap, that's way informative. Thanks!

[deanbush]

EXCELLENT presentation. I can't believe that I learned so much in only 4 minutes and was able to go right to Camtasia and do the same thing with no problem.
