Thank you! Really useful!
Thanks for this. Question: How do you screen record yourself working on Camtasia? Do you use another software?
I record with Camtasia and edit in Camtasia. It is possible to run the recorder and show stuff in Camtasia editor at the same time.
@@Graphicious Thanks! I didn't know that was possible.
Thank you! This is very helpful. You are my go-to helper with Descript as I start my new channel. 🥰
You’re welcome 😊 Glad I can help and good luck with your new channel!
This is really great, probably my favorite tip so far, really smooths out the production, thanks my man!
Awesome, I knew you'd like it! :D
Thank you Cristi i like it
Thank you for the video! How did you make this instructional video? Exclusively use Descript? How did you sync the screen demo with your audio when editing?
I record and edit in Camtasia but Descript can do this too, except with a little less quality. Here's my workflow: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZuGuKWmda_JXc4.html
Thanks for the video, I made use of this as well
Awesome, glad to hear that. I know I need to redo this video for the new version of Descript.
I use this video all the time as a refresher when it has been awhile. thanks. :D
Happy to hear that, glad it helps!
This is an excellent video but I was wondering with the new Camtasia out can you do an update
Thank you! Even in Camtasia 2024, this particular effect is achieved the same way. Nothing has changed and no new effects have been added to make a difference for this particular use case
Thanks for this. They're starting to gauge. We're going to upgrade to Camtasia 2024 which has a lot of these features. These items seem to be "gotchas" that'll just make it not as attractive as it used to be.

Descript is practically unusable sometimes due to how poorly it's transcribed :( I think this will help, thank you.
Hope it does.
Thanks for the video Cristi. I’m still finding the template thing a bit funky. For instance, I’ve created a template with the caption design I want, but it also saved the video clip. So now when I apply the template, it applies the clip. Should I go back into the template and delete the vid clip?
Is the video clip in the template on a separate layer or is it part of the script track?
@@Graphicious Seperate layer
In that case it’s safe to delete it
@@Graphicious Ok, thanks.
Good exppanation, @12:17 you show a blue slide with bullet points, did you do it in descript ?
Thank you. I did that in Camtasia but you can do it in Descript also.
Nice info. How did you shoot this video by making yourself in front of the video, sometimes becoming small and other times large. Is this possible in descript ?
I did that in Camtasia also, but you can also do it in Descript. Here's how to do it in Camtasia: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZuGuKWmda_JXc4.html
Thanks for the reminder about how to do this! (I forgot that "alignment" was the term to search for.) 🙃
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you still found this useful. I think I'll need to create an updated version for Underlord, but the workflows are the same.
Christi, again - another incredible video - I can't believe how much you know about Camtasia!
Thank you so much! This is great feedback. Glad you find these useful.
Great job Cristi! Better than Camtasia's own tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, glad to hear that.
Where is the text to speech in Windows? Think u mean Audiate, which u have to pay for.
Yeah, Camtasia's text-to-speech is via Audiate.
Excellent tutorial
Glad you liked it, thank you!
You're a ninja Cristi. Thanks for this.
I try! Thanks a lot!
does this only work on the descript app? I only use the desktop web version and don't see the option to open a window :/
Yes, on the web you have to use a new tab in your browser
How come you speak American English? (Living in the UK). It's awesome! 😉
I am not American, nor British. I can do any accent I want :)
LIFE SAVER! THANKS A MILLION!!!!!!!
Happy to help
Maybe Camtasia could offer a typewriter effect feature so we don't have to make all these little individual tweaks.
I am sure they could but I don't see it as a core feature. It's probably not a priority.
Very helpful, thanks!
You're welcome!
Oh nice, I didn't even notice that, I thought the voice styles were still available in the new AI voices.
Yeah no, the new AI ones don't support variations.
Thank you so much for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Get Descript and generate text-to-speech: cotovan.com/descript
you are doing justice to descript, unfortunately, people are still in time line editing video software, underlord is great,
The timeline is still useful for precise edits. I would hate it if Descript removed it altogether. Much more control.
Primitive mode. Program does not have object tracking
I know! It sounds like they might add it soon
Very clever solution
Thanks! Hope it helps.
Great call, loved the the filler word removal method, that's huge! Also, thanks for the tip on the intro scenes, going to steal that for sure!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for hanging out.
hi I'm new to your tutorials and camtasia. do you have a tutorial on cutting up long videos to smaller clips that can be used for other platforms, shorts, etc? also wanted to do reduced length videos by cutting out a lot of the extra that are relevant from the intent/focus of a video (i.e., cutting up and extracting from 1hr to a 10 min length for a particular topic of that 1h vid)
Camtasia has a separate tool (separate subscription) called Audiate that allows you to transcribe and cut video, filler words, gaps, all that. It requires a roundtrip so it's a little clunky in my opinion. If you want to cut long videos into smaller clips, for now Descript is better: cotovan.com/descript
wow
great sharing
Well done ... Thank you
Welcome 👍
with all due respect, guys, but I think this is not a good example for what one would call a successful KZread channel. The most recent numbers are very overseeable (like below 1k for every recent video). The big hits are ages old (5 to 10 years) and that is a loooong time. I am sorry to say that, as I appreciate this channel, but for me, this is NOT a successful education channel. It's size and growth are not exponential but very overseeable. So any advice should be taken with a grain of salt. Just my 0.02.
Thank you for your comment, I agree in part but also disagree. It depends on who you compare yourself to. It may be a slow burn but I think unless you cover some famous trending piece of software or topic, educational content is usually slow to pick up and develop. 'Viral' stuff tends to die down soon. This is even more true if you follow the strategy that Chris (and myself) tend to employ: specific videos showing one thing, teaching one solution. Those usually don't have a huge audience overall, which is why becoming evergreen is a great benefit: they will keep being relevant many years from now. I appreciate your feedback, loving the conversation.
Great video guys, and solid advice, love the content over subscribers outlook.
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed this.
I really like how down to earth this is.
Thanks a lot, that's great to hear. Glad you enjoy it.
HANK YOU VERY MUCH CRISTI ON YOUR GREAT VIDEOS. I LEARN FROM YOU SO MUCHT. I HAVE A GREAT ISSUE WITH THE CAMTASIA 2023 SCREEN RECORDER AND NOBODY IN THE SUPPORT SOLVED IT. I CERTAINLY THINK IT IS A BUG IN THE SCREEN RECORDER BECAUSE IN THE OLDER VERSION I HAD (IN CAMTASIA 9) EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. WHEN I RECORD MY WORK FROM ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR IT DOES THE WORK BUT WHEN I START EDITING IN THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE PLAYING IT DAMAGES ALL THE COLORS. MAYBE YOU CAN SOLVE IT? THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. ILANA
Hi Ilana, that sounds like a challenging one, particularly if the support team couldn't solve it. When you say "damages all the colors", what do you mean, like they look washed out, or super saturated and broken? Maybe it's a GPU issue, do you have your drives up to date for your graphics adapter? I can't provide much more info without more background. Have you tried on a different computer?
@@Graphicious THANK YOU VERY MUCH ON YOUR RESPONSE THE COLOR COMES WHITE OR MUCH MORE BRIGHTER.THE DRIVER I UPDATED WITH THE SAME COMPUTER THE CAMTASIA 9 IS OK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
@user-sv8jg4gg4o a lot of things changed since Camtasia 9. The entire rendering and recording engine has been overhauled as far as I know. You can’t compare them. What computer and OS do you have?
@@Graphicious I INSTALLED CAMTASIA 24 AND EVERYTHING IS OK. I THINK IT IS A BUG IN THE SCREEN RECORDER OF CAMTASIA 23
@user-sv8jg4gg4o yeah they changed it in 2024 a lot. Glad it works
TYSM!!!!!!!!
How can we add video clips among those pictures with transition effects?
You can add them manually after the slideshow is generated.
Super job, super content, Love from India 🇮🇳
