I've had several people contact me about getting the best results for their videos on YouTube. I'm sure others have this question as well, so I figured it was time to do a quick blog post about Camtasia Studio and YouTube.

You can use an .AVI, .WMV or .MOV that Camtasia Studio creates on YouTube. There is also a 10 minute time limit and 1GB file limit. Details can be seen here on how to upload your video to YouTube. YouTube also recommends your video be 640×480 in resolution with MP3 audio.

Screencast expert Bill Myers has a couple great videos posted in YouTube with his tips for getting great Camtasia Studio videos on YouTube. See them below.
