WHAT'S NEW ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1 Version history v2.0.0 Major Release o Integrated Camtasia Studio launchpad, Camtasia Effects, and Camtasia Producer into a single interface for improved user workflow. This new unified interface is the new face of Camtasia Studio. o Updated the overall look of the applications with new icons, logos, toolbar buttons and UI styling. o Added Camtasia Theater for creating web presentations from SWF movies. o Added TechSmith EnSharpen codec for creating high-quality, lossless, low-bandwidth, cross-platform screen recordings in the QuickTime MOV format. o Added MP3 audio files as a supported input format. o Added MPEG video files as a supported input format. o Added WMA (Windows Media Audio) files as a supported input format. o Added WMV (Windows Media Video) files as a supported input format. o Added FLV (Flash Video) files as a supported output format. o Added Batch Production o Added Custom Production Profiles for saving production settings. o Added a global timeline for editing and audio across multiple clips. The storyboard is now a simple view of the global timeline. o Added real-time preview of entire project. o Added non-destructive, integrated audio and video editing right on the timeline. o Added Zoom-n-Pan (a.k.a. Ken Burns) effect. This is especially useful for screen capture videos because it makes it possible to record at a large size and then produce at a smaller size by selectively zooming in/out and panning across the original video. o Added new transition effects, including a smooth fade effect. o Added smooth keyboard navigation for precise editing control. o Added "Extend Frame" option as a simple way to freeze the current frame for a specified duration. This is helpful when adding a voice- over to a recorded video. o Added a detachable video preview window with a full screen option. o Added a recording wizard which steps new users through the process of making a screen recording. o Added a Task List for one click access to common functionality. o Added a Clip Bin to pull together audio, video, and image clips for a project, independent of their location on disk. The Clip Bin can show thumbnails or details view, and can be sorted based on clip properties. o Added the ability to toggle timeline tracks on/off as desired. o Added global undo/redo. o Added Flash Hot Spots for adding a basic level of interactivity to projects destined for the SWF output format. o Added callouts with smooth shading, fade in/out, and anti-aliased text with flexible formatting. v1.1.1 Maintenance Release General: o Fixed install/uninstall issues according to the "Designed for Windows XP" logo guidelines. o Added menu items for Theater for Camtasia Studio and Converter for Camtasia Studio. Recorder: o Added Effects > Options > Zoom > Show zoom rectangle during AutoZoom checkbox to allow users to turn this feature on/off as desired. o Fixed problem where Recorder would hang on some XP and TabletPC systems if recording audio (voice, cursor sounds, or keyboard sounds), the audio is NOT muted when recording begins, and the user clicks on the Recorder UI during recording. o Fixed a problem where unselecting the "Round frame size to a 4 pixel boundary" option and using the MS-MPEG V1/V2 codecs would create AVI files that could cause a crash on playback. Recorder now handles this case with an appropriate error message before recording begins. Producer: o Fixed frame counter discrepancy between using the forward and back buttons and using the left and right arrows on the keyboard. Using the keyboard sometimes caused the frame counter to be off by 1. o In the Audio Editor, removed an unnecessary warning message that appeared if the Audio Properties were changed before recording audio. o In the Audio Editor, File > Split > Save Audio As... was mistakenly disabled after a File > Split > Save Video As... operation. o Fixed a problem which would cause the top and bottom of a video to be clipped if the user produced at a smaller size, with a different aspect ratio, and "Stretch to fit" was not checked. o Fixed issue where the color picker dialogs weren't initialized with the currently selected color in the SWF advanced playback controls options dialog. o Fixed an issue where the slider range on the timeline would not update properly when audio was added to a still image. o Fixed an issue where the movie duration in the SWF advanced playback controls might display 00:00 / 00:00 for the entire movie the first time it was played after moving to a web server. Effects: o Fixed crash where after adding a new object, the object name was changed in the object list. MenuMaker: o If the user opened a template file (.CMMTPL) and then hit the save toolbar button (which is a shortcut for File > Save Project), the file that is saved is actually a project file, but the file name and file extension remained the same (.CMMTPL). This has been corrected. By design, the user is always editing a project (.CMMP) even if they begin the project from a template. At any point, the user can save their current project as a template using File > Save As Template. o When using File > Save As Template, spaces in the menu name are no longer replaced with underscores. This makes it easier to save a template with spaces in the file name. v1.1.0 Minor Release General: o After the 30 day trial is expired, Camtasia Studio will stop functioning until the software is purchased. o AVI files generated by 3rd party apps which have an incomplete header are now handled correctly. o Video and project files are now saved in a "Camtasia Studio" folder underneath the user's "My Documents" folder by default. o Fixed upgrade problem which was disabling TSCC compression in 3rd party apps in some cases. Recorder: o Stopping a recording with F10 now always brings the "Save Movie File As" dialog to the foreground. o Updated a couple shapes in the ScreenPad library. Producer: o Added configurable advanced SWF playback controls including a seek bar, fast forward, and rewind. o Added Edit > Crop to Selection feature. This feature allows the user to select the section of video they wish to keep and will cut anything before and after this selection. o Added production results dialog. o Added ability to set a default duration for images on the storyboard. o Allow user to cut a single frame. o Allow user to add audio to an image in the audio editor. o Allow user to maximize the audio editor window. o Added menu shortcuts for common operations in the audio editor. o Added a way to disable the delete confirmation in the audio editor. o Fixed problem where the timeline length was incorrect if the audio track was longer than the video track in an AVI. o Don't allow user to cut an entire AVI since this was causing unexpected behavior. o Fixed selection glitch if after a cut, the user drags beyond the end of the clip to the edge of the Producer window. o Warn user if a WMV profile uses a codec which is now missing from their system. This can occur after the user upgrades to Windows Media 9. In this case, these profiles are defunct and will not function correctly. The user should remove old profiles and create new ones if desired. o Added ability to select the recording source in the audio editor. o Added a recording level volume control in the audio editor. o Added Help menu to audio editor for easier access to the help file. o Fixed audio video sync problem in some cases when producing with a low frame rate. o Fixed problem in audio editor where the video did not resume playback after a record/pause/record sequence. o Improved error checking if an invalid file type is specified as the image to be used while the SWF file is downloading. o Fixed problem with "Pause at start" SWF production option not working when no playback controls were used. o Fixed problems with Edit > Audio Properties... in the audio editor. o Offer to create folder if it does not exist when producing a movie. o Fixed problem where Pack and Show would include the TSCC.exe codec installer AND the Camtasia Player. Since TSCC decompression is built into the Camtasia Player, including the TSCC.exe codec installer is not necessary in this case. o Shorten the image duration in Producer's timeline to match the length of the WAV in Audio2 when the image duration is longer than the WAV. o Fixed problem in audio editor where play/pause/record sequence would cause unexpected behavior. o Fixed problem where File > Save Frame As... would sometimes save the incorrect frame. o Fixed problem where the incorrect frame number might display if the audio extended past the end of an AVI which had been trimmed. o Fixed problem where editing an AVI with non-default audio format would cause the audio quality to degrade in the preview window and in the produced file. Effects: o Added ability to set a default duration for objects. o Added batch project production. o Toolbar buttons are now temporarily depressed while in use. o Fixed problem where changing object properties while editing a Text Shape caused an unexpected error. o Fixed problem where clicking on the object duration while editing a Text Box caused the text changes to be lost. o Fixed problem where Vector Text or Text Box objects were not updated correctly if the user clicked on the object list while editing the object. MenuMaker: o Added ability to specify supporting files for formats which require them (e.g. SWF and CAMV). o Added ability to add static text or blank lines to a menu. This allows the user to format the menu with headings and space indented video links. Player: o Added command line option to specify player position on screen. v1.0.1 Maintenance Release General: o Add 'Tour' button to Camtasia Studio launchpad pointing to the QuickStart videos on the TechSmith website. o Fixed some keyboard accessibility problems. o Fixed Help > Support > Save to File Recorder: o Fixed audio/video sync problems when the user enables audio recording or audio effects at some point after starting a recording session. Producer: o Improved undo support in the editing timeline. o Added cancel button to progress dialogs used for lengthy operations. o Changes to support Windows Media 9 series. o Fixed problem where audio cuts were not applied in the same place in the produced file as in the preview window. o Added "Preserve image size" option to Watermark dialog. Now both Recorder and Producer have this same option. o Better cleanup of temporary files used during audio editing. o Fixed problems with the way MP3 audio was put into the produced SWF file. o Changed the default audio format for Flash SWF production to be MP3 11kHz 16-bit mono, since we now correctly support streaming MP3 audio in our SWF output. 11kHz 16-bit mono is the lowest bitrate MP3 audio we support that has "acceptable quality". o Added a Pack and Show wizard to make the process of packaging movies more straightforward. Pack and Show now supports SWF and CAMV. Effects: o Improved handling of grouped objects. o Improved undo handling. o Fixed possible crash when grouping non-visible objects o Double clicking on object in TextShape Library now inserts the object. o Fixed problem where text could shrink. o Fixed crash caused by right-clicking in the object list while editing a text shape. o Fixed problem where the line width could change when resizing line based objects. o Fixed problem where the highlight color could not be set. MenuMaker: o Include all necessary files for playback of SWF and CAMV videos. o Added tree view of MenuMaker templates in the wizard to facilitate template add-on packs. v1.0.0 Initial version. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. KNOWN LIMITATIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Camtasia Recorder generally cannot capture DVD video displays. o Camtasia Recorder cannot directly capture audio from other applications (e.g. Windows Media Player). However, it is sometimes possible to record this audio by placing the microphone near your computer's speakers, or by connecting "line out" to "microphone in" on your sound card. o Camtasia Recorder cannot capture video from applications on some systems that use graphics hardware acceleration for video playback (e.g. newer versions of Media Player and RealNetwork's RealPlayer). It is often possible to disable the graphics hardware acceleration. There are two ways to disable graphics hardware acceleration: 1. Disable graphics hardware acceleration globally for all applications using the Control Panel "System" applet. Go to the "Performance" tab and click the "Graphics" button under "Advanced settings...". Set the "Hardware acceleration" slider to None and hit OK. You may need to restart Windows to have this change apply. 2. Disable graphics hardware acceleration for a particular application. For example, in RealPlayer G2 select Options/Preferences from the RealPlayer menu. Go to the "Performance" tab and disable (uncheck) the "Use optimized video display" setting. You may need to stop and restart any movie being played to have the change take effect. Disabling the graphics hardware acceleration globally for all applications is probably the easiest way to "fix" the problem. Of course, with hardware acceleration disabled, video playback may not be as smooth as it could be with acceleration enabled. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.
