More video support in Camtasia Studio
We would like to be able to import MPEG2, MPEG4 and MTS (high def format from camcorders such as Sony, Canon, and Panasonic) into the Camtasia timeline. Benefits: It would make it easier for us to incorporate video from different groups in our company. Currently we're using other tools to convert these formats into something Camtasia can import.

1 comment for Idea: More video support in Camtasia StudioWe would like to be able to import MPEG2, MPEG4 and MTS (high def format from camcorders such as Sony, Canon, and Panasonic) into the Camtasia timeline.
Benefits: It would make it easier for us to incorporate video from different groups in our company. Currently we're using other tools to convert these formats into something Camtasia can import. In some cases, it has resulted in us using the converting tool as the video editing tool.
For example, we have used Pinnacle to convert video files from MTS to AVI. However, it just seemed easier to do the entire video project using Pinnacle and we by-passed Camtasia. I’d rather not have a reason to to bypass Camtasia.
Thanks,
Leo

Use the Title in the Project Information as the HTML Title tag

Add Multi-core Support Please!
Add your comment for Idea: Add Multi-core Support Please!It seems that only 1 of 2...or 4 cores is used, even when the processor affinity is set to use all. This is a limitation that I hope TechSmith can fix, because I love (need) camtasia!

Pro Sound Card (ASIO and WDM) Support!
6 comments for Idea: Pro Sound Card (ASIO and WDM) Support!Support for recording sound output (while screen recording) from professional sound cards, which use WDM or ASIO drivers, currently not supported by Camtasia.
This has often been suggested in the forums. Do a search for "ASIO" there, and you will see that many users have requested pro sound card support, for years!

It looks like this cannot be done in CS yet but maybe we should request they add it.

Mute audio track
4 comments for Idea: Mute audio trackDuring multi-track editing with a music bed and voice-over, it is necessary sometimes to mute the music bed or the vo track in order to do video/audio alignment tasks. You dont always want to hear the whole mix when doing these.
It just needs a simple 'Mute' button on the track head at left in order to accomplish this.

Portable Camtasia Recorder
Doing user testing in a lab where you have full control over the equipment is ideal, but not always possible. Participants can't always come to you, especially if the system you're testing is an internal, network-only application (like performance reviews, employee directories, proprietary engineering or purchasing systems). In these situations, you're lucky if the client will allow you to bring recording equipment (e.g., ...more »
1 comment for Idea: Portable Camtasia RecorderDoing user testing in a lab where you have full control over the equipment is ideal, but not always possible. Participants can't always come to you, especially if the system you're testing is an internal, network-only application (like performance reviews, employee directories, proprietary engineering or purchasing systems). In these situations, you're lucky if the client will allow you to bring recording equipment (e.g., camcorder, webcam, voice recorder, laptop with Camtasia or Snagit installed) on site. Many companies have legitimate fears about internal corporate info leaking out. When you do get permission to bring in equipment and record sessions, you also have to gain network access for your laptop. Between gaining permission, securing network access, and lugging around all that equipment, doing user testing at a client site can present any number of logistical problems. One possible workaround is to try to use web conferencing software (e.g., Morae, WebEx, GoToMeeting, Adobe Connect) and have a helper try to record the session remotely, but that can be a problem from behind a firewall. For one thing, the user would have to install the web conferencing software client and he may not have permission to do that. Or he may have a client already installed, but it's not the one that you use. Again, more logistical issues. Given the difficulties associated with on-site user testing, I'd like to see TechSmith come out with a portable version of Camtasia Recorder. I got the idea from blind users who carry their screenreader software around on a flash drive. They don't have to worry if the computer they want to use at say, a library, has assistive technology installed on it (which it most likely won't), because they carry a portable version of their software on a tiny USB drive, which they just need to plug in to use. No need to install anything on the host computer; the software runs from the thumb drive. Have software, can travel. Imagine this: You arrive at the client site carrying only a USB flash drive, a USB webcam, a digital voice recorder (for backup), and your notebook (to take notes). You connect the flash drive and webcam to the user's computer. The flash drive contains drivers and software for the webcam, and a portable version of Camtasia Recorder, which can run from the flash drive, instead of from the user's computer, so there is no need to install any software. When you're ready to record the session, just run Camtasia Recorder from the flash drive. When you're finished, the session recording gets saved to a folder on the flash drive and automatically named whatever you choose (e.g., 2009-02-04 12:22pm Participant 03.avi). It's easy to move on to the next participant, just unplug the webcam and flash drive, and plug them in at the next location. This ultra-portable method for user testing would work really well for guerrilla-style user testing, for example at a public library, coffee shop, airport, etc. I do see some possible issues with this approach. 1) Some companies disable employees USB ports for security reasons. 2) Not all computers have accessible USB ports, especially on a thin client network, like at a public library. 3) The size of the flash drive might be a limitation. Granted, you can buy them all the way up to 64 GB these days, so maybe not. 4) Some clients and users may object to you plugging your equipment into their computers. It may be another security concern. Despite these concerns, I think it would be a great idea. What do you think? Who's with me?

Crossfade between clips
1 comment for Idea: Crossfade between clipsI'd like to be able to fade between two video clips, with both in motion. Currently Camtasia stops the video clip on the last frame and fades into the first frame of the next clip, and then continues video playback after the fade is complete.
I can do crossfades with an AVISynth filter and Virtualdubmod, and then plug that clip into Camtasia, but it's a bit of a pain!

Make callouts span multiple video clips / images
6 comments for Idea: Make callouts span multiple video clips / imagesPlease allow callouts to have the ability to span multiple video clips / multiple images / multiple titles.
It's a pain having to copy and paste the same callout over and over again when all you want to do is extend the length so it spans multiple sections.

Add bullets and other effects to text in callouts.
2 comments for Idea: Add bullets and other effects to text in callouts.When adding text to any type of callout, I'd like to be able to do more formatting to the text.
For instance, I'd like to add bullets (and control bullet indent spacing, and text indent spacing), and wrap at the indent point.
Right now, I have to use a dash (-) as a bullet in my text.

I hardly EVER do...I embed videos on webpages!
Right now, you have to copy / paste script code...object code...check paths...oye vay what a pain.
In fact, it's so unreliable and easy to make a time consuming mistake that I just use an IFRAME and point to the HTML and supporting files in a directory.
Can the action of embedding a video in an external page be automated, integrated, simplified or anything?

Change clip (or clip portion) speed without producing the video
I need an easy way to speed up a portion of a recorded clip. I recorded myself performing a long, intricate task, and wanted to display it in fast-forward while I gave a voiceover summarizing what I was doing. But there's no way to speed up or slow down a clip without rendering/producing it! My workflow is to record my actions onscreen, then record a voiceover later.

My workflow is to record my actions onscreen, then record a voiceover later. However, if the recording takes longer to do something than it takes me to explain it, I'd like to speed up the video to match my narration. But there's just no way to do that.
I was surprised and disappointed when dragging a clip shorter cropped the clip instead of adjusted its speed.

More Non Linear Editing Features

Blank space on the timeline. If I remove a clip, the callout doesn't go away. The ability to control audio levels throughout the wave form -- sometimes called ducking and rubber banding."

Import/Export Captions
1 comment for Idea: Import/Export CaptionsI would like to export my Camtasia captions & timings to other countries but without the traditional tariff disputes. Does anyone know if this can be done with an eBay add-on? Or FedEX/UPS? With all the multiple languages of the world, I figure, retranslating my Camtasia captions could make me some good bucks.
