Every screen recording already has a narrator: the cursor. This short course shows you how to direct it after the take and guide the viewer’s eye exactly where you want it.
This course brings together existing TechSmith tutorials, YouTube videos, blog posts, and webinar recordings, curated into a practical learning path. Once you learn what’s possible, it will change how you make your Camtasia videos.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
![]() | Edit a cursor’s size, position, and path after the recording is finished | ![]() | Smooth a hunting, jittery pointer into motion that looks intentional |
| Draw a cursor path onto footage that never had one, like a still, screenshot, or exported video | Replace the system arrow with a pointer that survives being scaled up or down | ||
| Use highlight, magnify, spotlight, and click effects without overdoing them | Recognize when the cursor shouldn’t be in the shot at all |
