Camtasia Studio History
3 November 2003: Camtasia Studio 2

• Integrated Camtasia Studio launchpad, Camtasia Effects, and Camtasia Producer into a single interface for improved user workflow. This new unified interface is the new face of Camtasia Studio.

• Updated the overall look of the applications with new icons, logos, toolbar buttons and UI styling.

• Added Camtasia Theater for creating web presentations from SWF movies.

• Added TechSmith EnSharpen codec for creating high-quality, lossless, low-bandwidth, cross-platform screen recordings in the QuickTime MOV format.

• Added MP3 audio files as a supported input format.

• Added MPEG video files as a supported input format.

• Added WMA (Windows Media Audio) files as a supported input format.

• Added WMV (Windows Media Video) files as a supported input format.

• Added FLV (Flash Video) files as a supported output format.

• Added Batch Production

• Added Custom Production Profiles for saving production settings.

• Added a global timeline for editing and audio across multiple clips. The storyboard is now a simple view of the global timeline.

• Added real-time preview of entire project.

• Added non-destructive, integrated audio and video editing right on the timeline.

• Added Zoom-n-Pan (a.k.a. Ken Burns) effect. This is especially useful for screen capture videos because it makes it possible to record at a large size and then produce at a smaller size by selectively zooming in/out and panning across the original video.

• Added smooth keyboard navigation for precise editing control.

• Added "Extend Frame" option as a simple way to freeze the current frame for a specified duration. This is helpful when adding a voiceover to a recorded video.

• Added global undo/redo.

• Added Flash Hot Spots for adding a basic level of interactivity to projects destined for the SWF output format.
