TechSmith Camtasia: Say Hello to Rev and Goodbye to Labor

AI comes to TechSmith Camtasia, making enhanced video creation as easy as click, click, click!

Ensure that you're using the latest Camtasia build and then start the recording (either by starting the Camtasia Recorder 2023 app or clicking the Record button from within a Camtasia project).

On the lower right of the Recorder control panel, you'll see the Camtasia Rev icon. If necessary, click the toggle to enable Rev.

Record the video as you would normally do and when you stop the recording, Rev appears onscreen. There are five tabs, each offering curated formatting options.

On the Size tab, you can choose between the size you used when you recorded or specify Wide, Vertical, or Square.

Switch to the Layout tab, and you can choose from several layouts that change how your video appears on the learner's display.

Click to add a background to your video on the Background tab.

The Effects tab allows you to instantly add features like a Drop Shadow, Cursor Shadow, Highlight, and increase the size of the mouse pointer seen by the learner.

After you've clicked through the tabs, all that's left to do is click Export to publish the project.

Creating video demos truly does not get any faster than this!

How do I turn it off for existing projects? I tried to turn it off before the actual recording, and it worked. But it did not bring it into Camtasia nor reopen Camtasia like it did before Camtasia Rev. I had to reopen Camtasia manually and manually import thee newly saved recordings.

Rev only kicks in when recording your screen (creating new projects). Existing projects do not use Rev.
