TechSmith has released new versions of their popular Camtasia screen recording software for both Windows and Mac.  On the Windows side, the new version is Camtasia 7 and on the Mac the latest version is Camtasia 1.1.  Here’s a quick breakdown of the new features for each platform:

Camtasia 7 for Windows

• New interface
• Audio volume fading
• Sketch motion callouts (looks like you’re drawing on screen)
• More modern callout graphics
• Copy and paste effects…to reuse them in timeline
• A library of backgrounds and animations provided by Digital Juice

Camtasia 1.1 for Mac

• Custom recording regions…you select the exact window you want to record instead of your entire screen (this is a big one)
• Audio enhancements for noise reduction
• Audio enhancements for pitch change
• Voice only recordings
• Pause your recording, while you’re recording (just like you’ve always been able to do in Windows)

The upgrade cost for Windows users is $149 and the upgrade for Mac users is free.  You can learn more from TechSmith’s site by clicking here.
