Render output is bad…using Camtasia…HELP
I had a previous thread about using Camtasia and the output being very bad. That thread is now buried and I am not getting any replies.
This project I am doing is a software demo for a local company. They have captured their demo using Camtasia. They wanted a WMV file for the end result, but I am having huge difficulties in getting a good looking file. So now I am trying a Mpg2 file for a DVD.
The camtasia project was recorded at 1024×768 AVI.
I was told to pan and zoom for better results. Here is a screen shot of the MPEG2 file (played in Media Player):

Even not zoomed in, it does not look good…but even worse with the zoom.
I need this project done by tomorrow and am freaking out. I don’t know what to do…I am about to have a nervous breakdown. I do not want to lose this business. I value your input…please help.

..your screenshot certainly doesn’t look very well … does the captured AVI looks good in media player ?… is it good playing in the Vegas timeline (without render) ??? … really is not that complicated:
1- capture with a good selection window (size mentioned seems OK) and make AVI in Camtasia.. avoid any edition or dimension changes there …
2- ingest clip in Vegas and edit … make your pan & zooms …render to required output format..nothing special here….. I’ve made this before with very good results ….Good luck

> The camtasia project was recorded at 1024×768 AVI.Did you create a WMV file at 1024×768 resolution? That should look best. Start with a bitrate of 512K and increase it in 512 increments until it looks the way you want.

Setting the output resolution to 1024×768 did the trick!! I was using “original size” and it was outputting to a smaller format.
It looks great now. I can finally breathe again….thanks for your help!!!!!!!
