The ‘Animations’ and ‘Visual Effects’ panels to apply scaling effects, alter the colours, change the clip speed or remove colours (usually to remove a ‘green screen’ backdrop so that the foreground speaker can be ‘placed into’ an image or video clip background). The ‘Behaviors’ panel lets you apply animated effects to both video and text so that they slide in from the edge of the screen, drop in from above, ‘explode’ into view and so on. Other types of visual effect are also available by dragging and dropping from panels.

The end result is that the background ‘disappears’ (see the first screenshot at the top of this review). To remove the green background I just drop a visual effect onto the clip and use a colour picker to select the background. I recorded myself using my webcam in front of a green screen. Or, if you want fancier transitions, you can select page-rolls, Venetian-blind effects, random dissolves, glows and so on just by dragging those effects from a ‘Transitions’ panel.

A fade-transition from one clip to another can be done just by overlapping the adjoining clip edges. On the timeline you can place numerous video and audio clips as well as still images. The Camtasia editing environment takes the form of a multi-track timeline beneath a video editing preview window and some panels from which clips, effects, transitions and other elements can be selected.

The screen-capture and the webcam capture are saved as separate clips so that you can edit them independently – for example, to fade out the webcam video when not required, or zoom it to full screen and then reduce it to occupy just a small portion of the screen (a ‘picture in picture’ overlay). If you need to capture video simultaneously from your webcam, it can do that too. The Camtasia 2019 editing environment shows a video preview above a multi-track timeline with panels of media clips, effects, transitions and more at the top-left. Alternatively, you can capture from a selected window or from a rectangular area marked off with your mouse. It lets you capture animated videos of all the action on your computer screen.
