TechSmith’s Camtasia Accelerates Video Creation and Editing

EAST LANSING, Mich., Oct. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TechSmith Corporation, an industry leader in visual communication, launches “Rev” – an innovative AI-assisted workflow within Camtasia, the company’s award-winning, user-friendly, all-in-one screen recording and video editing solution. Available as part of the latest Camtasia 2023 update, Camtasia Rev guides users through various size, layout, background, effect, and filter choices, empowering users of all skill levels to quickly create professional quality videos that inspire, educate, and engage their audiences.

The Rev workflow activates once users have recorded their screen with Camtasia, allowing them to format their screen recording with dimensions optimized for specific sharing platforms. Users can then select a design layout that matches their desired outcome and walk through a series of additional formatting options that add sophistication to their video.

This streamlined workflow dramatically reduces the amount of indecision and option overload associated with most traditional video editing software. Each formatting choice is previewable in real-time, allowing users to edit in a way that no other video editing solution currently offers. After making selections, users can export their video directly as an MP4, share it to a preferred platform such as YouTube or Google Drive, or send it into Camtasia’s non-linear editor for further editing and enhancements. For increased efficiency, Rev automatically recalls the users’ previous selections when they create their next recording, saving video creators time and ensuring style consistency across their content.

The Rev interface is divided into five intuitive categories:

Size: Select from wide, vertical, or square video project dimensions that are optimized for popular sharing destinations such as YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.
Layout: Choose from dozens of different options of how the speaker appears or overlays with their recorded screen content.
Background: Peruse over fifty different backgrounds, each with unique colors, style, and movement.
Effects: Apply a wide spectrum of nuanced effects on your video such as cursor sizing and highlighting, drop shadows, reflection, and much more.
Filters: Set the tone and mood of the finished video utilizing a multitude of different colors and video lens filters.

"Camtasia Rev reimagines the video creation process, allowing anyone to create stunning videos in minutes," said Tony Lambert, CTO at TechSmith. "The new workflow is a significant milestone in our mission to provide an ideal option for both novice and professional creators. Rev will continue to evolve to meet the needs of our users in the ever-changing video landscape."

Coinciding with the Rev launch, Camtasia has also improved its integration with Audiate, TechSmith’s audio recorder and text-based editing application. When a user imports a video file from Camtasia into Audiate, all audio edits made in Audiate automatically sync with the corresponding video file, making video editing up to 40% faster. Additionally, exporting a video from Camtasia to Audiate now provides even faster transcription.

A one-year subscription of Camtasia is available now for $179.88 USD from the TechSmith online store and select resellers, or bundled with Audiate for $379.87.
