TechSmith recently released Camtasia 2018.   At first glance, there’s little difference between Camtasia 9 for the PC and version 2018. While I do like the tools separated (this is how they were listed in older versions of Camtasia), this minor change isn't anything to get overly excited about.

by Kevin Siegel    I'm hard at work on my newest Camtasia Studio book (for version 8,  which was recently released by TechSmith ). In Camtasia, I played around with some of the program's available settings (such as Font, Font Size, Color, etc) but I didn't want to keep any of those changes.

When recording short videos with the Camtasia Recorder, it’s most efficient to record your voiceover audio at the same time. However, it may be necessary for you to add the audio to the video later while working in the Camtasia Editor. You didn’t think you’d like audio in your video but now you’ve changed your mind.

This question came in last week: Question: I'm using Camtasia Studio 7. Answer: When you add images and other assets to the Camtasia Clip Bin, the path used in Camtasia does not update should you change systems. I copied my project files to a new laptop.
