Camtasia creates videos of on-screen activity from any application, so you can easily show people how to use software and web sites.

Here are some key features of "Camtasia Studio":


- Make any software process look easy
- Handle a technical support call without picking up your phone
- Demonstrate your software to potential customers
- Capture an entire course for online and CD delivery
- Embed a screen video into a PowerPoint presentation

Adding your narration to Camtasia videos is fast and easy. Speak into the microphone while you record your screen capture video, or use DubIt to overlay an audio track to any AVI file.

Use the Thumbnail File Explorer to easily select the video clip(s) you want to include in your finished product. Double-click a file thumbnail to bring the clip into the Editor. You can also drag clips directly into the Storyboard.

The Editor is a viewer and an editor of individual movie clips. You can use the timeline edit bar and VCR buttons to scan through a clip frame-by-frame, making it easy to trim AVI clips with accuracy. Or save single frames as a still image -- a great way to make thumbnail links when sharing your video clips!

The Storyboard contains clips that will go into the final produced movie in the order in which they appear. You can join any number of clips together by simply dragging them into the Storyboard. You can even add still images (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF) to your movies on the storyboard -- a great way to add titles and credits, or create a slideshow.

Add Transition effects between AVI clips by selecting the clip you want the transition to lead into. Select from over 78 different transition effects. An arrow will mark the clips that you have added a transition effect to.

Camtasia lets you save your unfinished work as a Project File, or you may save your completed work as a new movie. To create a new video from the storyboard, choose Produce Movie from the file menu.

Camtasia Producer creates standard AVI files, Microsoft ASF, Microsoft WMV, RealMedia and Apple QuickTime streaming video files, Camtasia for Real Player Plug-In videos, or animated GIFs.

A wizard walks you through all of the possible options for customizing your movie, including watermarking, frame size, compression and copyright information then prompts you to save the video.

Videos can be produced using any of the standard Windows audio/video codecs, standard streaming media audio/video codecs, or our optional TSCC video codec. Use our TSCC video codec during capture and editing to preserve 100% lossless quality, even over multiple editing cycles.

Play your movies with Camtasia Player - an easy to use, standalone movie player that guarantees high quality playback of your AVI movies. Camtasia videos also playback using standard media players without any plug-ins when standard Windows or streaming media audio/video codecs are used.

Pack and Show allows you to package your movie and the TSCC codec and/or Camtasia Player as a Windows-executable file (.exe). When users receive the .exe file, they simply double-click it to unpack it, install TSCC and/or Camtasia Player, and show the movie.
