This topic covers the process for exporting your video from Camtasia Studio for Windows to an H.264 source file. This document covers the Windows version of Camtasia 7.
Camtasia Studio is often used for creating screencasts for tutorials. Creating high quality screencasts with clear, crisp, and legible text is especially challenging when creating software tutorial videos. To learn best practices and tips for creating and publishing high quality screencasts, see the document Creating and Publishing High Quality Screencasts.
Exporting from Camtasia Studio
- From the Camtasia editor, select Produce and Share.
Note: If you intend to show your videos to audiences with generous bandwidth and resolution, you might try producing your videos using the HD setting. When exporting videos using the HD note the following requirements:
- Do not use the HD setting for 4:3 aspect ratio videos. Camtasia’s HD option changes the aspect ratio to 16:9, so you will not maintain the original aspect ratio and will distort your video.
- Be sure you have imported any clips to your video using the HD format.
- In the Production Wizard Welcome page, select Custom production settings.
- Next, choose the recommended format MP4/FLV/SWF - Flash outputs. We're going to export to MP4.
- In the Flash Controllers page of the Production Wizard, set the following:
- Controller: No Controls
- File Format: MP4
- Click Flash Options, then on the Video tab of the Flash Options dialog set the following:
- Frame Rate: Automatic
- Key frame every: 10 seconds
- Encoding mode: Quality
- Quality: 80%
- Click Flash Options, then on the Audio tab of the Flash Options dialog check Encodeaudio and set the Bitrate to 56kbps.
- In the Flash Options dialog, click OK, then in the Production Wizard, click Next.

- On the Produce Video page of the Production Wizard, set all options to your preferences, except be sure to uncheck Upload by FTP.
