And here is the feature list of Camtasia's version 5:
FEATURE LIST:
RECORDER
*Simpler recording process
*Resizes applications
*Customizable recording toolbar: options to add markers and ScreenDraw
EDITING
Project settings -
*Gives you a real time preview of what your video will look like.
*Eg, you record at 1024x768, then set your project settings to Web.
It will scale your video to 640x480.
SmartFocus -
*Intelligently tracks activity on the screen and zooms in to keep
your viewers focused.
*We've also made Zoom n Pan a lot more flexible, so editing, adding
and removing zoom keyframes is way easier
Housekeeping -
*When saving a project, there's an option for copying or moving all
files associated with the project to a folder.
Transitions -
*New ones include: Fade through Black, Glow, Cube Rotate, Page Turn,
Peel, Roll
Callouts -
*We added a 3D edge effect to make the callouts standout more
Improved stability -
*Though its just one bullet item on here, about 1/3 of our
development effort has gone into shoring up the code, making it much
more stable and predictable
Editing at 30FPS -
*We've moved to a more standard, stable editing approach of 30 frames
per second editing. We initially followed Microsoft Movie Maker,
giving people the illusion of editing at 100ths of a second. But we
found that it actually confused people people, because we didn't have
100 frames per second. So now we've got 30 fps video and editing.
Nice and consistent and more stable.
