What's New in Camtasia Studio 4
Share with Anyone, Anywhere
We live in a mobile world, and Camtasia Studio 4 helps you keep pace by making it easy to publish videos and MP3 files for portable media players. Now your message, lecture, or just-in-time training video can reach your audience practically anywhere - on the bus, in a coffee shop, or while they're jogging. Camtasia Studio videos are designed to share.
Give Your Audience Playback Choices
Sometimes it's hard to predict what your viewers will need. Will they watch your videos on a laptop? Or would they prefer an MP3 or iPod video file to take along? Now you can stop guessing and give your audience a variety of options. Choose the primary file format you want, then add iPod and/or MP3 to the production list, and even attach a PowerPoint presentation. Then, produce them all at once.
Seamless Publishing through Integration with Screencast.com
Camtasia Studio 4 provides a fully functional screening space for your videos. Directly from within the production wizard, you can publish videos to Screencast.com, where others can easily view your content. Screencast.com has built-in RSS and iTunes functionality, so you can deliver videos directly to your viewer's desktop or portable media player. With this seamless integration between Camtasia Studio and Screencast.com, sharing your videos, screencasts, and more, is just a click away.
No More Background Noise
Even in "reasonably quiet" conference rooms, offices and classrooms, unwanted room noise can seep into your recordings, making them sound less than perfect. Camtasia Studio 4 can edit out background noise to drastically improve the quality of your video. Either choose one of the many presets to automatically remove the noise, or manually select the noisy portion of the timeline. Then, Camtasia Studio will identify this sound pattern in your recording and remove it across the entire audio track.
Equalize Volume Levels
It's easy to speak too softly or sit too far from your microphone during recording. It's also common to experience volume variations when two or more voices are being recorded. Camtasia Studio 4 can remove volume variations across the timeline to ensure consistently good sound throughout your video. Advanced users can manually control volume ratio, threshold and gain.
Compare Results before Producing
Have you seen Camtasia Studio's perfect-quality Flash SWF or new Flash Video (FLV) files? How about the incredible results of QuickTime's H.264 compression? With so many choices, it can be difficult to decide which is best for your situation. Camtasia Studio's new production preview feature lets you explore options beforehand and quickly compare the results of different formats and compression settings.

Choose from a variety of playback bars and Flash pre-loaders to create a presentation that's just right for you. And, Adobe Flash users can access our source files to easily customize our pre-loaders.
