Video 15 - Camtasia Audio Trick
Posted on Saturday January 26, 2008 by Betsy Weber
You're going to love this video! It shows a secret way to add background music to your videos even when you have both Audio 1 and Audio 2 tracks being used! How? Well, it's a multi-step process, but in the end it frees up the Audio 2 track and makes it possible to add some quiet background music to the overall video. Check out this screencast that Ryan Eash made to see how he does the trick. The video runs just over 4 minutes.
As a little disclaimer - don't feel like you have to add background music. That's not what we're advocating with this screencast. It's not always needed for some videos. Use it at your own discretion. And, if the music takes away for your viewers learning by being distraction, don't use it.

That was very helpful; very clever. I often only record my narration to Audio track 2 after I do my screen capture. This makes it easy to add background music later.

I am trying to record live stream video and audio but cannot get any audio. What am I doing wrong? I need to know so I can decide if I want to purchase the program.
