I just think that Audiate will have a short life span and an even shorter list of paying customers. But the problem is that I can't even say in words what I want the software to do because there is NO WAY to link what is going on in the video part of the recording and the sounds that are being made in the audio portion. I'm really sorry to say this but for a product that I would be required to pay $30/month to use, I expect a LOT MORE. Either I will have to use Audiate to record audio and HOPE that I said everything I intended to say and then use Camtasia to create my video portion of my software instructional video and then hope to God that I did everything in the video portion of the project that I spoke about in the audio file so that the two can be properly mated.
But, being a long-time Camtasia user I can't think of any way to NOT being required to do double work when trying to use Audiate to clean up my audio file in any way whatsoever. I want Camtasia to work better than ever before. It’s how you might work today if this is your process with another dedicated audio app.Īre we missing something that would make your editing faster and easier? Let us know in the comments. The audio portion of your editing process will still be quick thanks to the transcript based navigation of Audiate, but you’ll have to spend some time editing the video in order to line and sync things up. You can still edit as normal in Audiate as well with an imported Camtasia recording. This preserves the length of the audio file, so that when you bring that recording back into Camtasia, you have minimal editing to do in order to line everything up. When you import an audio file from Camtasia, the first trick you can employ in Audiate is to silence, and not remove the hesitations. You might feel more comfortable this way and it’s totally fine, as there are still ways to shave a bunch of time off your editing process with Audiate.
The second way is if you record your audio and screen at the same time. Clip Speed and Extend a Frame become really powerful tools in this workflow. This seems a little weird the first few times you do it, but it can save a LOT of editing time in Camtasia. That could be gathering slides, images, screen recordings, b-roll.
Once you have your voiceover / narration in Camtasia, it’s a matter of collecting and lining up your visual elements to compliment your audio track. Once you’re done recording, you make your edits, and ship the final file over to Camtasia.
Ideally, you start in Audiate and record a script, or at least have some talking points handy. For creating new content, we’ve been talking about an audio first workflow for some time now, on our blog and at training and video events. So, we thought about a couple of ways Audiate fits into a Camtasia video workflow.įirst, and the “golden path” scenario - you start in Audiate.
