Custom assets for you and your team

Fast Editing: Proxy Video
In order to display and edit large and high-resolution videos smoothly, Camtasia 2021 now offers the option to use proxy video. These temporary copies can be edited quickly due to their low data volume, and are then returned to the original HQ recording.
Improved representation of grouped assets
“Groups” have long been a proven way in Camtasia to organize sections and items on the Timeline. Instead of expanding them directly on the Timeline as before, groups in Camtasia 2021 are now displayed in their own tabs when opened, allowing you to open multiple groups at once. This is especially useful for complex and nested elements.
Clear organization and sharing: Standalone project files
All files used for a specific video project are now combined into a single, central project file. This can be quickly shared with colleagues, transferred to another computer, or archived.
Camtasia 2021 is now available for Windows and Mac for $249.99 MSRP in English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese. Users with previous versions can upgrade for $139.99.
