Want that background to contain fluid, looping motion? Just drag the speed slider to set the speed of the motion in your background for the duration it appears on the timeline. Really want to have some fun? Every single Dynamic Background and Fill has its own set of dynamic properties that allow you to adjust color, speed, number of elements and much, much more.

HD-quality video for the web

Produce videos for the web using the industry-leading H.264 format. [?] All the presets for web destinations default to an MP4 format that consists of an MPEG-4 AVC (H.264 AAC) file coupled with a Flash player. That means you get HD-quality; the smallest file size possible; and ubiquitous playback, on any platform, within any Flash-enabled browser. No tweaks or technospeak, just sparkling HD-quality video with compact file sizes...every single time. Two existing production presets (blog and web) and three new presets (YouTube, HD display, and Screencast.com) take advantage of the new format.

I used to spend hours showing my students how to get small videos that retained their high quality. Now Camtasia Studio 6 does this automatically—right out of the box! –Chris Austin, MasteringCamtasia.com

Fewer do-overs
Independent audio & video editing

When recording audio and video at the same time, it's hard to be perfect. So we've made it easier to fix mistakes. Simply decouple the audio and video tracks to edit them independently. And move audio clips between (and along) tracks to line everything up perfectly. Bottom line: fewer retakes and less time spent on editing.
Take a shortcut
Editing hotkeys

Reduce editing time on large projects by 30% or more [?] Based on studies conducted by the TechSmith user experience department. with seven customizable hotkeys. Want to add a callout to the current spot on the timeline? Just tap C on your keyboard. Need a transition? Hit T. The same goes for caption, zoom, marker, split, and extend frame. Become a lean, mean editing machine...and free up hours of your time.

The editor enhancements will definitely save you time (and money). –Ute Simon, Microsoft PowerPoint MVP

Use video from more sources
Edit MOV files

Got an .MOV video file from a digital camera or a previous project? Bring it into Camtasia Studio and edit it on the timeline. Any self-contained .MOV file is fair game.
Better Audio
Get some perspective
3D tilt effect

Apply the new tilt effect to your videos and they'll really pop! By bringing some things closer to the viewer and putting other things in the background, you'll not only grab attention...you'll also direct it effectively.

WOW. Tilt is really a great effect to move us from two dimensions to life-like three dimensions. Really adds depth to my videos. – Bob Chambers, president, FrontierGold Corporation

Nail your timing
Finer control over effects

Control the duration of transitions and callout fades with ultimate precision...right down to a tenth of a second. Perfect timing is a beautiful thing.
Web sharing made easy
Better Audio
Screencast.com preset

We created Screencast.com to make it dead simple to get videos from Camtasia Studio to the web. With the new Screencast.com preset, you can now direct content into the sharing folder of your choice. Don't have a Screencast.com account? We'll give you one free! (2GB storage; 2GB monthly bandwidth; never expires.)

I LOVE the new recorder. It's simple, efficient, and puts all the options in one window. –Aanarav Sareen, screencaster

Rebuilt Recorder

The new Camtasia Recorder remembers the dimensions and locations of your last recording, so you can start your next one faster…and stay consistent. We've also added a convenient full-screen recording button. And there's an option to launch Camtasia Recorder at startup, so you can record an impromptu screencast–anytime!–with a touch of the F9 key.
