Camtasia for Mac - Resizing Applications Screencast

Posted on Sunday September 27, 2009 by Betsy Weber

Tagged as:

We've received a fair number of requests to capture a specific window or region with Camtasia for Mac. As we've talked with customers who've asked for this functionality, we've come to understand that some of the primary goals are to minimize the editing (and zooms) and produce specific dimensions, for example an HD video for YouTube. Camtasia for Mac Product Manager, Troy Stein, has created a 3 minute video showing how to resize applications and browser windows and produce the videos at the same dimensions. Check it out below.

Troy also shows two complimentary applications: setmy.browsersize.com and Mercury Mover.

Troy and I will be making some more screencasts over the next few weeks. Any requests on what you'd like to see or learn? Or, maybe you could help me convince him to pull another all nighter and make 24 Camtasia for Mac screencasts in 24 hours? What do you think?!?

Hi Betsy and Troy. Camtasia for Mac looks really terrific, congratulations on its release! Also, as the proprietor of Helium Foot Software, the makers of MercuryMover, i'm really grateful for the love.

All the best,

Troy, nice tutorial and will try it but still not as easy as the Windows version where I can just select which window I want to record irregardless of its size. I hope Techsmith will bring this functionality to a future update.
