Note that at high clip speeds, Camtasia drops a lot of frames. Use clip speed (right-click on the segment) to adjust the speed until the video duration matches what you need. Split your video at the appropriate points by selecting the video and typing s. Use the timeline to find out the duration between markers. You may want to add markers to your audio so that you can easily tell where the significant points are. Now synchronize the video with the audio. Now it looks like you’re drawing on a blank canvas.
Use Visual Effects > Remove a Color to remove the pre-sketch. Set it to the recording dimensions of your final output, and set the background colour to white. Step 5: Edit and synchronize in Camtasia Studio. As you become more comfortable with switching back and forth between full-screen drawing and using the Autodesk Sketchbook Pro interface, try the workflow that involves pausing the screen, showing the interface, hiding the interface, and then resuming the recording. When you’re starting out, you may find it easier to record in one go and then edit out the segments when you’re switching brushes or colours. That reduces the editing I need to do afterwards.īecause the pre-sketch shows you where things should go and you’ve already fiddled with the layout to make sure things fit, it’s easy to draw quickly and confidently.
This makes it easier for me to pause (bottom), show the interface (middle right), change colours or brushes, hide the interface (middle right), and resume (bottom). Bottom button: Ctrl-Shift-F8 – the keyboard shortcut I set up my Camtasia Studio with, so I can pause and resume recording.Middle right button: TAB – hides and shows the interface.Left button: Ctrl-z – handy for quickly undoing things instead of flipping over to the eraser.The Cintiq 12WX has some programmable buttons, so here’s how I set mine up: This is also a good time to set up convenient keyboard shortcuts or buttons.
