![]() An easy way to remember this is to note that those keys have the less-than and greater-than signs on them acting as visual pointers. In addition to the displayed shortcuts, you can also press the comma and period keys on your keyboard to move the timeline pointer one frame backward or forward. The menu for "Jump To" is missing a very useful shortcut: The second tip is much more concise and easy to understand. Standard MP4 and WMV files do not allow interactivity, and if you want to upload your video to YouTube, you need to add the interactive hotspots in YouTube using their own editing tools. If you have never tried this before, I should warn you that the functionality only works if you produce your file with the Camtasia Smart Player and run the whole thing using the HTML web page that gets generated for you. ![]() Yes, this would make more sense if it was grouped under "Interactivity," but now you know where it's been hiding out! The fourth element under this tab is an invisible interactive hotspot that lets you place your link address without the other intermediate customization steps. These give you "Blur & Highlight" annotation elements. Instead of adding an annotation box from their collection of standard shapes, you click the fourth tab with the icon of a teardrop. It turns out that Camtasia already has a single-step method I hadn't previously found. Then I would have to click on Visual Effects in the left-hand command menu and drag an Interactive Hotspot onto my annotation box element. My workflow to accomplish this task had been to overlay a rectangular annotation box over the desired text, change the fill to transparent, change the outline width to 0, and make sure there isn't any accidental text left in the box (Camtasia likes to add ABC to give you a guide). You would like your edited recording file to be interactive so that a viewer can click on the link and open up the target web page or document. ![]() Let's say your webinar recording includes a slide with a hyperlink on it. The first is just a simplified method of doing something I already knew how to do. Admittedly, this will only be of interest to hard-core Camtasia wonks, but hey… that might be you! By the way, at the time of writing, Camtasia version 9.1.2 is the most current, and that is the version my tips refer to. I often use this software to clean up webinar recordings. I just learned two "hidden" ways to be more efficient while editing audio/video files in Camtasia. ![]()
