How to Narrate PowerPoint Presentations Using Camtasia 

Gracias!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

The only way to capture PowerPoint's animations, transitions etc., in Camtasia, is to use Camtasia to screen record while you present them in PowerPoint.

@@Graphicious Yep, Christi, that's what i figured, thank you so much.

You could change from recording the entire screen to just recording a region. Define a region and place your windows or whatever you are recording precisely inside it. Then record. It is important to make sure that this region is 16:9 aspect though. Otherwise you’ll have black bars and you will struggle to edit. When defining the area, hold down Ctrl ( I think ) and it will constrain your region selection to 16:9. Hope this helps.

@@Graphicious Thanks so many for your quick response but I have to record the PowerPoint in presentation mode to use the animations inside.

@bahrammodaberi3685 that makes sense. And your screen is not 16:9?

@@Graphicious no. it is a 28 inch surface studio 1 with 4500 by 3000 resolution recommended.

That's a high resolution! You should be able to select a 16:9 area on that screen, even a 4K one and still have room around.

It should be possible, yes. Camtasia can get slow with very long videos or very many images, but it should work. It also depends on your machine's specifications.

I have a new 2023 I Mac with Sonoma .@@Graphicious

I think you should be able to do it. If not, you can always edit the project in 2 or 3 pieces (different projects), then join them together after exporting.

Yeah, if you want the animations from the PowerPoint presentation, you would have to record your screen while presenting it of course

Glad you enjoyed it
