Camtasia Studio is a popular screen capturing and recording tool for Windows
PCs. *Overview* As one of the highly-regarded screen recording programs out
there, Camtasia Studio offers a flexible, friendly working environment and
smooth workflow that reduces the learning curve and editing time to the
minimum. It's actually quite easy to produce video using Camtasia Studio.
Through the thorough documentation provided with the program, as well as an
intuitive, three stage creation process that includes recording, then editing
and producing, you'll be able to document your progress and also find help in
the event that you end up getting stuck. *Creation process* In the first
stage, Camtasia Studio provides you with a dedicated *built-in tool to record
images from your screen*. The Camtasia Recorder features many different
options to customize your recording settings: use the whole screen or a
user-defined area, add cursor effects, record audio as well, and grab the
image source from your webcam, among others. The second stage that involves
*editing* begins when your recording is finished. Camtasia Studio offers a
varied range of tools to personalize your video. You can draw attention to a
certain area with different callouts (including cool animated sketches), add
more information with on-screen text captions or make it more eye-catching
with transition effects, to name just a few. Both the *Clip Bin* and the
*Library* in Camtasia Studio will ease the task of choosing media files to
use on your video. The audio editor, on the downside, is a bit more limited,
with only a few tools to level volume, reduce noise and optimize voice.
Finally, the *production stage* is last. Camtasia Studio makes it really
easy, even if you've never used video editors before. Simply choose one of
the included presets in the *Production Wizard* and follow the steps.
Camtasia Studio will help you choose the appropriate codec, resolution, size
and other details, and will finally render your video. And of course, you can
export directly from Camtasia Studio to YouTube and work with HD video as
well. *New features* Camtasia Studio 8 comes with a load of new features.
Some are nearly invisible, fixes to bugs and other more "under the hood"
tweaks. Others, such as the new ability to group and ungroup items on the
timeline, will make your screen capture and recording experience a whole lot
more user-friendly. Even more than that, Camtasia Studio has added lots of
new perks that'll give you even more ways to make your videos unique. Some of
these include the ability to apply visual effects to an media on the
timeline, the ability to adjust Drop Shadow distance, direction, opacity, and
blur, and new borders that can now be added to any media, then later adjusted
to the color and thickness of your choosing. *Whether you're out to make
screencasts or just need a friendly and complete tool to record videos,
Camtasia Studio is a great option for just about anyone.*Download *Camtasia
