TechSmith released version 2.5 of their Camtasia 2 for Mac software. Here are a list of the fixes and improvements:
Enhancements in Version 2.5.0
- Added a share history window
- Added Facebook and Twitter buttons in the share history window using the built-in social features of OS X 10.8 and later.
- Improved capture frame rate by leveraging a new capture method on OS X 10.8 and later
- Added an integrated color picker and a user preference for those who prefer the system color picker
- Added a “Mix to mono” option which is useful when all the audio is in the left or right channel, and you’d like it in both
- Added the ability to lock tracks to prevent edits from affecting the media on the track
- Added the ability to turn tracks off, which hides the visuals and mutes the audio on the track
- Added the option to use linear interpolation for key frame actions
- Fixed an issue where the Media bin thumbnail was black for images larger than 5000×5000
- Allow user to press Shift key after mouse down in order to make a range selection
- Added the ability to use the Shift key with the comma and period keys to fine tune a timeline range selection
- Limit the max width of an arrow to 100 to prevent rendering errors
- Fixed an issue where the timeline didn’t auto-scroll when dragging the edge of a media clip to extend its duration
- Disabled context menu items that will not work for offline source files in the media bin
- Fixed an issue where keystrokes are not recorded correctly when the system is configured with JPN language settings
- Fixed an issue where the canvas width could be selected but typing would not change the number in the edit box
- Fixed an issue where a project could get into a corrupt state where it could not be saved or opened
- Fixed an issue where thumbnails in the media bin could appear stretched
- Fixed an issue where a freeze region effect is added to entire media rather than a set duration when added from the context menu
- Fixed an issue where control + click did not bring up the contextual menu for an effect in the asset bin
- Fixed an issue where repeated use of cut and undo could lead to a crash
- Fixed an issue where the zoom slider could get stuck at a particular zoom level
- Fixed performance problems when 2 stacked clips have a freeze region effect at the same time
- Fixed a crash when exporting an annotation that has a device frame applied to it
- Fixed an issue where dragging an action to the end of a media does not move it to the end unless you first zoom in on the timeline
- Fixed a crash when exporting to Screencast.com using a project that contains markers
- Fixed an issue where not all mask properties were red when in global edit mode
- Fixed a crash when entering the captions view on systems where the “Arial” font is disabled
- Fixed an issue where the lock aspect ratio in the Adjust Canvas dialog was not working correctly
- Fixed an issue where you couldn’t tab between the input boxes in the Adjust Canvas dialog
- Fixed a crash when trying to split media with multiple actions selected
I’m a big fan of this software and use it in my course development for Clark College and highly recommend it.
