Camtasia Video File
I have done a screen recording with Camtasia and have edited the video in Vegas. The editing went fine and I understand that the original file is very compressed but is there a tool in vegas to clean up the “screen flicker” seen on the tv that looks like it I shot the screen instead of recording from it. I rendered about 10 minutes to mpeg2 to see the quality and it needs a bit of help.
TIA

Are you using a camera to do this? For screen captures, Camtasia does not need or use a camera. It is all done internally and if anything, you would edit first in Vegas (if you have a pice that needs editing) then import that into Camtasia not the other way around.
If you use a camera for recording yourself, you have to keep it away from the screen positively!

Sorry for the confusion. The recording was done using Camtasia. I then pulled that video file into Vegas to edit it and the resulting quality after rendering to MPEG 2 has the same “screen flicker” effect that makes it look like it was done using a camera to record a computer moniter.

right click the clip. choose Switches>reduce interlace flicker. This should help. It also might help to render at “best” quality (choose this in custom rendering options).

Add just a touch of gaussian blur.

Thanks for the direction, the switches adjusment cleared up the flicker and I rendered at best quality. Now… Does anybody know where the video comes from when Camtasia records it? The file I got is 236MB for 2 Hours and 36 Minutes of video. I was shocked at how small the file size was but figured Camtasia knew what it was doing and that creating a DVD from the video would be the norm. This thing is totally cloudy to the point where I can’t read the words on the screen from the DVD playback. Is there a way to uncompress the file to make it look better? I’ve rendered at best quality but it’s no better. Do I have a useless file or are there settings to make it look good? Does the feed come from the video card? Lots of ????’s. Thanks in advance

I tried that also but it seemed to get even more blurry.
