TechSmith has introduced a great new feature to Camtasia:Mac version 1.2. It’s a table of contents feature that makes it super easy to navigate to various points in your video. If you create longer screencasts, this tool is invaluable.
This feature is great for longer tutorials or e-learning. You could also record Skype or Google Talk interviews and add markers for each question. This way your listeners can jump right to the question. And I really like the way the table of contents appears when you mouse over the video and disappears when you mouse off of it. Oh, and did I mention the search feature?
The only downside I see to the tool is that the output has to be Flash. In other words, it won’t work with iPhone or iPad video playback. Now I know for some, that’s not a big deal, but for those of us who create content primarily for a mobile audience, it really doesn’t help us that much. I’m playing with a few different options for that though. Look for a new post on that soon.
In the meantime, Camtasia:Mac has upped it’s game with this release.
Hi Scott,
Thank you so much for showing off the new table of contents and search options in Camtasia for Mac. As always, your videos are fantastic!
I appreciate the post and am sharing it with the Camtasia team so they see your feedback.
Mobile output is important to us too. We’re listening… let us know what else you’d like to see added in the software…
