Learn to import images, audio, video and caption files from your Mac into Camtasia. We will look at three ways to import footage from your Finder and into the Media bin inside of Camtasia. I'll share with you my favorite way to import footage into Camtasia. Make sure you save your Camtasia Project file as a Self Contained project so that all of your imported media stays with your project.
- [Instructor] To take your screencast to the next level,…consider importing and using…additional media files from your Mac.…Camtasia can use a wide range of file types,…including images in the JPEG and PNG file formats,…audio files in the AIFF, MP3, WAV, and AAC formats,…and most any video file that Quicktime can play,…such as .MOVs and .MP4 files.…You can find a complete list on techsmith.com.…Media files need to be imported…into your project's Media Bin.…
You can do this by going up to the File menu…and selecting Import,…and then selecting Media,…or pressing Command I on the keyboard.…Then navigate on your hard drive…and find the file that you want to import.…Select it and click the Import button.…You can also Right or Control Click…inside of an empty area of your Media Bin…and select Import Media.…Then, once again navigate on your hard drive,…find the file that you want to add,…and click Import.…My personal favorite way of importing media…is to simply drag a file from your computer…and drop it directly into the Timeline…
