12. How to use Zoom and Callout Options?
Watch the tutorial on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uKm0kiduuc
I can see almost in every screencast videos I see on youtube, there is at least any one of the feature among zoom and callout is used. So every new Camtasia user wants to do that. So I thought it would make sense if I can create on video tutorial for zoom & callout options in Camtasia.
Open Camtasia - Import media - Play the video and stop the video where you want to add zoom effect and click on Zoom -n- Pan and use the scale bar to zoom in. And again play the video and stop the video where you want to zoom-out and then click zoom-n-pan and remove the zoom in. That’s all.
Callout
Click on Call out and select the shape of callout. There are many shapes like bubble, cloud, star etc. You can change the callout border color, background color, text color etc. You can use different transparency also. You can change the call out text size, font type, color etc as you do in word. You can extend the callout appearance time by dragging in timeline. You can also use Fade-in and Fade-out for callouts.
In Camtasia 7.0, there are 5 sketch motion callouts. They are wonderful and make your screencast beautiful. These callouts are red colored and attractive.
Amazing technology
