Add these to your custom library and template, if you will use them often.

If you use one of Camtasia’s inbuilt music tracks for intro/outro music, instead of fading the track out for the duration of the main recording, consider exporting that track as an MP3, then using a program like Audacity to cut out the bits you don’t want, leaving you with two short MP3 clips-the intro and the outro-that you can import into any new video you create.You don’t have to record the new audio outside Camtasia either-start a new recording and turn off all recording options except Audio. If you decide to rerecord the audio because of too many ums and ers etc., you can just add the new audio as a new track and hide (then delete) the original. Split the recording track into separate video and audio tracks if you initially record the audio as you create the video.WAV and AVI are other options, but not MKV.

Or purchase a microphone that only picks up immediate noise (I believe these are called ‘dynamic’ microphones ‘condenser’ mics pick up all the noise). NOTE: Some microphones are very good at picking up all sorts of ambient noise, so you may need to dampen that noise by screening yourself with blankets (or similar). Keep the microphone a few centimetres away from your mouth (preferably above or below your mouth) to avoid ‘pop’ noises on the ‘p’ and ‘b’ words.

Here are some things I’ve discovered in my first few days of testing that may help others (no particular order): I’m recording actions in Word on my computer, not people, places, or things. As I mentioned the other day, I’ve been testing Camtasia for creating mini Microsoft Word training and tips videos.
