Guest Yachtsman1 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 In my latest tutorial 8 pt2 screen captured with Camtasia, I included some scrolling text, a very small pan & a curling page transition. I used the MP4 1280 x 720 setting, but the result warranted removing the scrolling text & substituting static text, the curling page & animation I left in but wasn't happy. If that is the best Camtasia can do I won't be able to progress the basic PTE tutorials by using it. Any other Camtasia users out there successfully captured PTE animation or scrolling text.?Yachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom95521 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Eric,I have Camtasia 8 but have not used it with PTE. I will see how well it works when I get a chance. Normally Camtasia captures at a low fps to reduce file size (15 fps?) so it may not work very well for slideshow animations.I also have an Elgato HD game capture devices that records HDMI output.http://www.elgato.com/gaming/game-capture-hdTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi TomCan you try it with a PTE show with heavy animation? If you can let me know what sort of file size it produces compared to a PTE Exe.Regards EricYachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom95521 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Eric,I don't have much time during the week to test. Here are two test screen recordings.Camtasia 30 fps Fraps 30 fps I think the fraps recording looks slightly smoother than Camtasia. The other option is to use PTE to create the video and insert it into the Camtasia editor (have not tried this).More Camtasia info here.http://www.techsmith...ance-prior.htmlTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes putting them into PTE was what I did with the first three tutorials which blew up the file sizes. There wasn't any animation in them so I didn't pick up what was happening until tut8 parts 1 & 2, back to the drawing board.Regards EricYachtsman1.
