Camtasia Studio Video Tutorial

Adding Markers

You can add markers during a .camrec recording in Camtasia Recorder or while editing in Camtasia Studio. Insert markers to:

• Set points to split a long video into multiple videos.
• Create recording notes. For example, mark a pause or error in the recording to cut during editing.
• Create navigation points. When you produce the video with the Table of Contents option, the markers appear as interactive hyperlinks.

Add a Marker while Recording

Press <CTRL + SHIFT + M> or click the Add Marker button on the Recording toolbar. To add the Add Marker button to the Recording toolbar, see the Customize Recording Toolbar tutorial.

To view the markers created during recording, import the .camrec file into Camtasia Studio. The markers appear on the Timeline.

Add a Marker while Editing

1. Position the seek bar to the location on the Timeline to insert the marker.
   
2. Choose Edit > Add a Marker or press <CTRL + M>.
3. The Marker Name dialog box appears. Enter a name and click OK. Camtasia Studio inserts a marker on the Timeline on the Markers track.

   

The marker names appear as table of contents entries when you produce a video with a table of contents. To learn how to create a table of contents, see Table of Contents tutorial
