Camtasia Portfolio Showcase Example

Hey everyone. First things first - this is not a real tutorial about Paint.NET. Well, techincally, you can still follow it and learn something, but it's just so easy that's there really shoudln't be a tutorial about it.

The reason I made this tutorial then is to show you some of Camtasia's most popularly used features in a live example. Most people use Camtasia for tutorials, so I made a simple one like this, but included as many effects as possible.

Zooms, blurs, removing the green rectangle when recording - if you have any questions about any of these features, or how to even start recording your own tutorial, please comment and I'd be glad to help. Thanks for watching!

P.S. I have to approve comments, so don't be freaked out if they don't show up immediately after you posted! ;D

Good vid, I got that.

My problem is using a blur callout to mask password, how can I make it faollow the zoom. Do I have to make a new blur callout for each step in in the smartfocus to keep the password covered?

TIA

Yes, unfortunately, as you see in my own video, my blur callout fades as soon as my zoom point moves and making a new blur for every single frame is really too much work.

What I suggest is that you zoom in and out frequently, so that the blur stays in place until you can take it away. :-)

Btw, you're talking about SmartFocus - that's when Camtasia inserts zooms automatically, and it's rarely accurate or effective - I suggest you manually add Zoom-and-Pan frames for better precision.

hey at 1:21 how did u blur ur name??? plz reply

[Feabionsu]

1. Click the Callouts link in the Task List.

2. The Callouts Properties page appears. 3. Position the seek bar to the location on the 4. Timeline to insert the callout.

5. Click the Add Callout button.

6. From the Type dropdown list, select Blur Callout.

7. Size and position the callout.

8. Adjust the Blur slider to set the percentage to blur.

9. Click Finish.

Hope that helps!

how do u not have the green thign wen u zoom in?

[Feabionsu]

Hi there! Unfortunately, many users of Camtasia encounter the problem with the green triangle. To fix it, simply go to Tools -> Options and click the Zoom tab from the menu that appears - uncheck the "Apply Zoom-n-Pan hints" and press OK! Hope that helps. :)

oh because using other screen recording tools like fraps, even a few minutes of recording adds up to over 100mb.

ohhhh haha lol

Unfortunately, you CAN'T control Autozoom, which actually you're naming wrong, since it's called SmartFocus. As I said in an earlier comment reply, SmartFocus isn't at all reliable, being "automatic" and all. Therefore, I used the original Zoom and Pan, which is manual and where you have to do all the hard work yourself, but in the end get great results like mine! :D

I used Camtasia (duh! look at the title! :D) and the feature you're talking about that follows the mouse and does it automatically is the SmartFocus feature. It is very bad, and doesn't work at all the way you want it to - if it works at all, since you need to move your mouse quiet a bit for it to zoom. So I used the original manual Zoom and Pan feature, where you have to do the hard work yourself, but in the end, get perfect results such as these! :D
