Clip Speed in Camtasia Studio
As my wife will readily attest, I’m not much of a multi-tasker. When I try, things have a way of falling spectacularly apart.
Perhaps you can relate.
As such, I always record my screencast footage and my audio narration separately. But if you’re not a very experienced screencaster (and sometimes, even if you are), you’ll encounter difficulty putting those two streams of information together and synching them up.
This video will help you remedy that. Along with three other editing techniques, Clip Speed in Camtasia is an easy way of both synching stuff up as well doing some cool time-lapse effects. Check it out.

Great video Dan. Very useful. Thanks.
Just an FYI that it would not run in full screen on my Windows 10 machine. I could click the button and have it fill the screen, but it would then immediately return to the smaller view and stop playing. It was quite happy to start up again though.
What is “wistia.net”?

Wistia is a great video hosting service. It’s expensive, but well worth it if you’re a metrics-hound like me. At any rate, I can indeed reproduce the issue you’re having with the full-screen viewing. There are different ways of embedding the content, so I’ll play around with it in the next day or two and see if I can’t get it to behave.
cheers, d.

Thanks for the clarity on how to use clip speed. By the way, I love your audio on this video. What mic did you use? It is the clearest audio I have ever heard on a video. Thanks. Jerry

I used a tube mic called a Rode K2 (I replaced its stock tube with a vintage one from the 60s), along with an old vocal processor, and finally, an audio interface from M-Audio to digitize the signal.
But you can still have amazing-sounding audio without getting anywhere near that fancy.
A decent USB condenser will only set you back between $100-250, and the result is nearly as good.
