Support for Virtual Cameras and Camera Capture Cards

One of the most exciting additions to Camtasia 3.1.0 for Mac is the support for virtual cameras and camera capture cards. This means that you can now use any external camera device as a source for your recordings, such as a DSLR, a webcam, or a smartphone. You can also use virtual cameras to stream your Camtasia recordings to other applications or platforms, such as Zoom, Skype, or YouTube.

To use a virtual camera or a camera capture card in Camtasia, you need to select it from the Camera dropdown menu in the Recorder UI. You can also adjust the resolution and frame rate of your camera device from the same menu.

New and Improved Multi-Stream Recording Engine

Another major improvement in Camtasia 3.1.0 for Mac is the new and improved multi-stream recording engine. This engine allows you to record multiple sources simultaneously, such as your screen, your camera, your microphone, and your system audio. You can also record multiple screens or windows at once, and switch between them during the recording.

The multi-stream recording engine also enhances the performance and quality of your recordings, by reducing CPU usage and ensuring smooth and consistent frame rates. You can also pause and resume your recordings without losing any data.

New and Improved Recorder UI

The Recorder UI in Camtasia 3.1.0 for Mac has also been redesigned to make it more user-friendly and intuitive. The new UI has a sleek and modern look, with clear icons and buttons for each option. You can also customize the UI by resizing, docking, or undocking it on your screen.

The new Recorder UI also gives you more control over your recordings, by letting you preview your sources before you start recording, adjust the volume levels of your microphone and system audio, enable or disable webcam recording, and access advanced settings such as hotkeys, countdown timer, cursor effects, and annotations.

Edit Cursor Path Position Based on Metadata Captured by Camtasia Recorder

The last feature we'll mention in this article is the ability to edit cursor path position based on metadata captured by Camtasia Recorder. This feature allows you to modify the position of your cursor in your screen recordings after you import them into the Editor. You can also change the size, shape, color, opacity, and shadow of your cursor using the Properties Panel.

To edit cursor path position in Camtasia 3.1.0 for Mac, you need to select the Cursor Path Creator visual effect from the Visual Effects tab in the Editor. Then drag it onto your screen recording clip on the timeline. You can then use the playhead to move along the timeline and adjust the cursor position using the Canvas or the Properties Panel.
