A few years ago, the nice people at TechSmith gave me a licence for Camtasia Studio, and I use it to make my Excel video tutorials.<\/p>\n

I’m currently using Camtasia Studio 7<\/strong><\/a>, and use a few of its great features, like cursor highlighting. That surrounds the pointer with a bright yellow circle, so it’s easier for viewers to follow what I’m doing.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are many features that I haven’t explored, so when today’s Camtasia Studio newsletter arrived, I followed a couple of the links to their online tutorials.<\/p>\n

To test my new skills, I updated a short pivot chart video that I posted recently, by adding a title clip, transition,\u00a0 zooms, and a couple of callouts.<\/p>\n

Below, you can compare the original video with the updated version. What do you think? Do any of the added features help? Please let me know in the comments, or in the features poll at the end of this blog post.<\/p>\n
