Imagine being able to show exactly what's on your screen to anyone, anywhere. Imagine that it's easy. Now you've imagined Camtasia Studio.

With the smartest screen recording tools on the planet, Camtasia Studio makes everything from training videos to PowerPoint presentations to lectures look better, reach more people, and pack more punch. Which makes you look even smarter, too.

How it Works

Some call Camtasia Studio 5 the world's smartest screen recording software. Why? Because it adapts to your workflow, not the other way around. And its intelligent tools keep your message--your ideas--squarely in the spotlight. It works like this:

Record whatever you want, right now, at any size. Decide how to use it later.	Edit and Enhance to clarify and amplify your message.	Share your creation anywhere, in multiple formats.

Record simply

Capture perfect-quality screen recordings

Camtasia Studio captures video of anything on your screen, with no compromise between quality and file size. Call it magic, call it our secret sauce, but TechSmith compression technology gives you perfect-quality recordings and compact file sizes.

Relax and record with Camtasia SmartFocus

Don't worry about the final product, just relax and record your whole screen. Camtasia SmartFocus keeps track of where the action happens during your recording. Then it produces a video that zooms in on the parts you need to show, keeping viewers mesmerized...even on iPod-size screens. SmartFocus is completely automatic and incredibly freeing.

Get started faster

Camtasia Recorder takes the guesswork out of selecting an area to record. Use the clever, new crosshairs to effortlessly select a window or region. Automatically snap a window to specific dimensions. Or lock the recording area to follow an application even if you move it around the screen. Plus you never miss a thing, because any windows you pop up during recording will appear in the center of the recording area!

Add audio now or later
	A picture's worth a thousand words, but even a video is helped by a little narration. With Camtasia Studio you can capture audio while you're recording...or add narration and music later.
Convert PowerPoint to compelling video
	The Camtasia Studio toolbar inside of PowerPoint makes it one-click-easy to record your presentations, either live or from the comfort of your desk. And you get much more than just a slideshow. Camtasia Studio captures everything--exact slide timing, animations, sound effects, narration, webcam video, and any Web pages or applications displayed onscreen during the presentation. It's the next best thing to being there!
Connect with your audience
	Even if a presentation is recorded, allowing viewers to see the speaker creates a human connection. Aim a webcam at the presenter, and Camtasia Studio will capture and synchronize that video with the screen recording. Simple! You can also record webcam video alone with Camtasia Studio, to create a video blog.
Record podcasts You don't need a separate tool to create podcasts. Use Camtasia Studio to record high-quality standalone audio, and then publish it in MP3 format. Upload to iTunes. Talk to the world.
Make your point
	A variety of effects are available during recording to help you emphasize an important point or action. Highlight cursor movements and mouse clicks, zoom in for emphasis, even draw on the screen.
Edit powerfully Not a multimedia expert? Don't panic. Camtasia Studio's editing studio will make you look like one... Preview the final result before it's final Before you start editing, let Camtasia Studio know how you intend to use your video--Web, CD, blog, iPod, etc.--and you'll see a live preview of the final result the whole time you're editing. No surprises!
Edit to perfection
	What if I sneeze? Camtasia Studio makes it easy to cut the sections of your video you don't want and rearrange the sections you do. Add, cut, splice, join, and move sections of video or audio. Zoom in on the timeline to edit each track with frame-by-frame precision.
Take control with zoom and pan
	You can always tweak the zooms and pans produced automatically by Camtasia SmartFocus. Or simply add your own from scratch. Zoom in to show details, and pan to move vertically or horizontally across the screen.
Delight viewers with photos and music
Don't limit yourself to screen capture video! Engage, inform, and delight viewers by importing other content. Movie clips, photos, music, animations--Camtasia Studio makes it a cinch to pull them into your project.
Add professional polish
	Title clips introduce your video with a splash, and are super easy to create. They also divide chapters, list closing credits, or provide contact information. Use any of the 25 transition effects to move smoothly (or whimsically!) between clips. Plus, Camtasia Studio gives you tools to enhance and optimize audio quality.
Embed closed captioning (subtitles)
	Make your videos more accessible for hearing impaired viewers, or for those who speak other languages, by adding closed captioning (subtitles) on or below your video.
Put the presenter inside or beside
	Give your video a personal touch by displaying the presenter with the presentation. The webcam video can be embedded in the screen capture video (picture-in-picture) or placed next to it (side-by-side).
Engage audiences with callouts and Flash interactivity Add a spiffy-looking arrow or speech bubble to direct attention or provide details. Turn a static presentation into an interactive experience with clickable Flash hot spots. Jump viewers to a specific place in the video or to an external Web page. Not a Flash developer? No worries...Camtasia Studio makes it drag-and-drop simple. Measure impact with a quiz or survey Want to know what your viewers think or how much they've learned? Ask them! Camtasia Studio makes it very, very easy to embed Flash quizzes or surveys anywhere in your video. Ask multiple-choice or open-ended questions. Responses can be sent to a SCORM-compliant learning management system or your e-mail inbox. Share freely Camtasia Studio makes it a piece of cake to share video in the format and size your audience wants. Mac or PC, 24-inch widescreen or iPhone, here, there, anywhere...we'll make it easy on you.
The right output...the first time
	Spending an hour producing ten versions of your video to test different settings is the old, bad way.
Now if you want to produce a video at the right size and settings for your blog, just click the Blog button, then preview. A moment later, you're watching a 30-second preview of your video to see how it will look. Works the same for Web, CD, or iPod. Simple and quick. Preview is also great for comparing the results of specific compression settings (Flash SWF vs. Flash Video FLV vs. QuickTime H.264) without producing the whole video. The old way is for the birds.
ExpressShow: The silver bullet for simple sharing
	TechSmith ExpressShow creates a single, beautiful Flash SWF file that can be easily embedded into any Web site, blog, or multimedia project. With a glossy thumbnail image, full-screen playback option, and floating table of contents, this is Flash video that makes you look good. Very good. Looking to fit in rather than stand out? Blend your videos perfectly with existing Web sites and multimedia projects by customizing the loading screens, backgrounds--even the About boxes--with your colors, text, or brand.
Let the production wizard guide you Camtasia Studio won't leave you floundering in a sea of confusing production options. Whether you want to share on the Web, on CD or DVD, by e-mail, or at Screencast.com… the Production Wizard will help you choose the best format and settings.
Produce in virtually any file format You may know exactly which format you need and how you want to configure all the variables. Or your needs might change over time. That's why Camtasia Studio gives you the flexibility to produce your videos in any of today's (or tomorrow's) popular formats! Right now, the list is:
MP3 iPod video Flash (SWF and FLV) AVI Silverlight compatible WMV QuickTime (MOV) RealMedia (RM) Animated GIF Executable (EXE)
Produce once, into multiple formats
	Giving your audience multiple playback options doesn't have to be painfully time-consuming. With Camtasia Studio, you can produce into several different file formats with a single production process. Simply choose the primary file format you want, then add on an iPod, MP3, and/or PowerPoint file, and produce them all at once!
Customize playback controls and pre-loaders Camtasia Studio's customizable playback controls and pre-loaders give you the flexibility to match your videos to a corporate image, or just give them a newer, cooler look. Choose from a variety of styles during production or delve into the source files to create your own styles from the ground up.
Include a clickable Table of Contents
	A clickable table of contents can simplify navigation for your viewer. Camtasia Studio makes it easy to create an interactive table of contents within a single video. Or, if you have a series of videos that you'd like to link together, you can use either Camtasia MenuMaker for CD delivery or Camtasia Theater for Web delivery. These companion applications are included with Camtasia Studio.
Seamless publishing to Screencast.com Screencast.com is a file hosting space, with some great features for organizing and sharing your content. From within the Camtasia Studio production wizard, you can upload directly to Screencast.com with just a couple of clicks. Screencast.com has built-in RSS and iTunes functionality, making it easy to deliver videos or podcasts straight to your viewer's desktop or portable media player. And it's your choice whether to share content with a select few people or with the world.
Making life easy for you bloggers
	Camtasia Studio lets bloggers record and publish to Screencast.com, and blog about it in less than 15 minutes. Or using the built-in FTP support, moving videos to your own server can be just as painless.
