Learn how to record a specific region or window on your screen rather than just the entire screen. Camtasia normally records the entire screen of your macintosh but learn how to customize the recording location to a specific region or window. You can also set a specific pixel dimension for your recording.
- [Instructor] When making a screen recording…it's important to give your viewers a sense…of context for where they are on your screen.…For this reason you'll likely make most…of your screen recordings set to record in full screen mode,…however, there are times where you only want…to capture a portion of your screen…or perhaps a specific window.…If that's the case then you'll want…to choose custom region from the screen drop down menu.…When you do your cursor turns into a green cross hairs…and a magnification loop lets you see…a zoomed in portion of the screen…directly underneath of your cursor allowing you…to make more precise selections.…
If you have a window open and you move your mouse…over top of the window, Camtasia will assume…that you want to capture just that window…and it will make an automatic selection for you…that is cropped right to the size of the window.…Click on the window to select that region.…A new region select window appears that shows you…the current selections' width and height.…A lock icon to lock in a particular aspect ratio,…
