Weird pauses
Published (2008-11-22 11:53:00)
I develop both at home and at work. My computer at home is faster than my work computer. However, on my home computer, there's an odd pause when loading a camproj, or importing video or images into a project. I drag an image in (or click Import media... and specify an image) and it pauses for about 10 seconds before it comes up. Same with dragging one in, and same with video. When I open a camproj, it might pause 15-30 seconds before the...

Yes please bring FLV back. Several of my clients are really upset that I can no longer provide FLV with 6 and I am now facing installing 5 again and dealing with project versions, etc between the two. I love the product. I would love it more and bake cookies for the programmers at TechSmith if FLV came back.

Remembering settings
Published (2008-11-22 09:39:00)
1. By default, CS6 automatically brings up the previous capture area. If you want to access the list of the last 5 captures a la CS5, click the little upside down triangle between the proportional scale "chain link" button and the Select button in the main Recorder window. 2. To turn off Audio recording, just click the Audio button on the main interface. I just tested it, and for me, it does remember the on/off state between...

V6 $149 not worth it
Published (2008-11-22 01:14:00)
Clearly there's more to v6 than just a way to edit audio1. But I trust you've read the what's new page . v6 allows you to unlink Audio1 and edit it separately from the Video1 track. v6 gives you H.264 + AAC inside an MP4 container. Smaller videos. Higher quality. Plays in Flash Player so your videos have a broad reach. v6 has a YouTube preset that helps you format a video suitable for upload to YouTube. v6 has editing hotkeys so...

I have been told it is possible to invoke a Jump To URL command at the end of my presentations so the viewer wil be taken to a specific web site after the final frame. I have been experimenting with short presenations and trying to add this feature, but I cannot find it listed anywhere among my choices during the post production process. What do I have to do to find this option? A response with the steps included would be greatly appreciated!...

merging camproj files

easiest way for me is to edit the small individual projects sepeartley then export as the highest res. highest frame rate avi to reduce chance of any reduction in quality, then import each of these in order to a MASTER project, add call outs fades etc then save as my final project and export havent completed fully yet so will report back on final results certainly learnt the hardway which way is best!!! thanks Si

Using Camtasia for Streaming Media

Hi Jimb Thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I could not view your examples, but still hope to. It seems that you have a lot of experience with streaming servers and Camtasia. Do you recommend a particular streaming server provider or advise on what to look out for? As for the player, the JW FLV Media Player looks great, but the one I need will have to be highly customized to suit my 'templated' curriculum. I have never really...

Sorry about that. My servers were off line for maintenance. So give it another go if you'd like. No, I wouldn't say a lot at all. I downloaded and installed Wowza approx 2 months ago is about it but I have been working with computers since 1971 when I started on an IBM 1401 mainframe and began working in a data center for a bank. JW's player is easy to skin to match just about any web site now days. Before it was a tougher task....

Hate to be a bearer of bad news, I know a lot of work has gone into the upgrade, but I like others feel that we've just paid to become beta testers here. Here's my problem with V6. Recording is fine, to a degree. When I click EDIT after I pressed stop from recording, approx 50% of the time, although the file gets saved, when it returns to the CS Platform it just hangs and windows ...

I would imagine that I would run into copyright problems if I just grabbed any old recording, so is there some sort of source for the background music equivalent of clip art? Ideally, I'd like to get the ...

I am trying to create FLV file output and I do not see this format as an output option. I guess I am just blind with version 6? I created the original project under Custom then mp4/swf so I go back in to do the flv which I thought use to be an option in earlier versions but for the life of me I cannot find it. Thanks

Hi All I am just new to this forum, so please go easy on me! I am also new to Camtasia and the whole screen recording scene. In fact I was initially interested in Adobe Captivate, but have since realized that Techsmith have been doing this longer, do it better and have a more helpful community (no hint intended!). I was also initially attracted to Camtasia by it's ability to export ...

After upgrading from 5.1 I don't seem to be doing too well with v6 at the moment.... In two out of four projects I've tried, opening the file in 6.0 results in the audio track disappearing--opening the backup file in 5.1 works fine. It seems that Audio 1 vanishes in each of the cases that failed (Audio 2 is OK). This is simply unacceptable. The .mp4 format should be a major improvement....

In Camtasia 5, I think it remembered where I placed the custom recording area previously. Is there a way to do that in 6? Is there a way to to make Audio recording permanently turned off? I seem to have to disable it every time, and on the Audio tab in the Tools Options, I don't see a way to deactivate it.
