Create a new project or update an existing project to save as a video template. Include common video enhancements such as:
Asset | Description |
---|---|
Placeholders | Placeholders guide video creators on the type of content to replace in the template. Placeholders preserve the canvas position, transitions, effects, audio points, and animations when possible. |
Intros | Animations to introduce a video or scene. |
Motion Backgrounds | Video clips to use as a background or scene in a video. |
Lower Thirds | Overlay animations and text to introduce the speaker or scene in a video. |
Effects | Short clips with an alpha channel to accent media. |
Outros | Animations to end a video or scene. |
Device Frames | Computer or mobile device images to provide context around a screenshot or video clip. |
To download assets and premade templates, see Download & Install TechSmith Assets.
To share the the video template, see Share a Video Template.
Tip: Customize the template thumbnail.
To customize the thumbnail for the template shown in the Template Manager, place the playhead at the desired location on the timeline before saving or exporting.
Ensure video creators maintain your video standards by updating your video templates with the latest branding, logos, and other video updates.
Tip: Strategies to save template changes.
Export as a single template (.camtemplate) or add templates, source files, and media to a Camtasia Package (.campackage) to share with others.
Camtasia exports a template (.camtemplate). To build a new video from this template, see How to Use a Template.
