FAQ - ​Frequently Asked Questions


What’s the prerequisite to join this course (or in other words who is eligible for this course)?
The only prerequisite is, you must be computer savvy. Now, what does that mean?
It means, you must know how to use a computer, the internet, and preferably a word processor or a spreadsheet Then it would be so much easier for you to learn Camtasia.​


Who this course is for? [and Who This Course Is NOT For?]

This course is only for beginners. In Other Words, This course is Not for Advance users.

I designed this course specifically for absolute beginners, in fact even if you never used Camtasia before. No problem this course is for you. I will teach you from scratch, It will take you from beginner level to intermediate level.

This course is specifically designed for those who are new to video editing and screencast and record their computer screen and wants to edit their own videos better and more efficiently. So that sounds like you this is a perfect course to enroll in. Feel free to look through the course description to find out more information and then click that enroll button. I can’t wait to see you in the course.


What Camtasia version do you need to follow along with this course?
My recommendation is you should have at least Camtasia 2019 version to follow along with this course because there are certain features that were introduced in Camtasia 2019 ver. and if you have an older ver. than Camtasia 2019 then you can’t use those certain features for ex: here are a few of them

-Auto-normalize Loudness (aka Automatic Audio Leveling)
-Mouse Cursor Smoothing (aka smooth out cursor movement)

-Logo support in Themes
-Library asset - Opens directly in Camtasia

-Custom Keyboard Shortcuts (revised in Camtasia 2019)

and so on…


What if I don't have Camtasia installed on my computer?
In case, you don’t have Camtasia installed then don’t worry. I will also share the link to download Camtasia for Windows and Mac and also teach you step-by-step how to install it.

Now some of you might have an older version of Camtasia like Camtasia 2018 or Camtasia 9.

If you do then still you can join the course and learn the core functionality of Camtasia which is always the same and you can cover many features except a few ones which were introduced in Camtasia 2019 as I mentioned before. Personally, my recommendation is if possible then use at least Camtasia 2019 ver.

Last but not least if you’ve any of these versions of Camtasia:
- Camtasia  2019
- Camtasia  2020

- Camtasia  2021
- Camtasia  2022

- Camtasia  2023
Then you’re good to go.


What version did you use to create this course?
I created this course using Camtasia 2019 and the reason is this version has laid the core foundation of Camtasia and many new features were introduced in Camtasia 2019. So no matter which version you have among these:
- Camtasia  2019
- Camtasia  2020

- Camtasia  2021
- Camtasia  2022

- Camtasia  2023


The core skills which I teach in this course are the same in all these versions. And above all I teach basics and essentials and core functionality, they are all same no matter which version you use. So if you have any of the above versions you're good to go.

By Anonymized User on 6/26/2025

So I picked this video because it was a good, long duration which I thought meant getting into more detail on stuff. Which it is. But the first hour or so was... Okay not to sound condescending here, but if you need "what a file menu is" explained to you, maybe video editing with Camtasia is an overly ambitious starting point. Once you get past that and the "how to install the program" bits, the guy is great. VERY thorough, and offers a lot of good tidbits even in the basic stuff (good product recommendations for mics, very helpful)

By Forsythia Kusi Ampong on 2/17/2025

I have Camtasia 2024 and this is Camtasia 2019. I am unable to follow along when you need to download the file in the Resources section because it is an older version. Also, some places where he is showing different settings or features, are not in the same spot in the newer version. It says last updated in 2025, but I don't know what was updated when he is using a 2019 version.

By Meredith Greenwood on 9/3/2024

While the instructor is warm and engaging, and much of the content useful, the course is almost too beginner-friendly; many of the videos spend time explaining basic computer functions and I find myself skipping over several of them.

By Rajendra Kulkarni on 8/22/2024

This course matches my expectations for a few good reasons. One, I am not a big tech-savvy person and this course takes good care of my level. Two, I am a slow learner and once learned it, a fast implementor. This course goes slow and that helps me. Third, I am a native non-English speaker, and this course will also help me in that aspect. So far, I have been learning very well and at a good pace. Thank you and a big thanks to the trainer himself.

By Alice Fisher on 8/16/2024

So much detail!! From a beginner perspective, it would be awesome if you could create an abridged version of some of the most important Key Lessons. I like the downloadable recourses, so that I can refer back to them. The Screen Resolution quality lesson was important one for me, as I kept getting fuzzy recordings from my PowerPoint Presentations. I also really valued the narration script capability to read on screen, and the voice to text capability that can be exported. One of the challenges is creating 508 compliant training videos, so being able to create and export recorded audio files to text with time notations is important nugget of information. Great Course!

By Jeff Easlick on 6/9/2024

I was a bit apprehensive prior to starting this course, as Camtasia seemed to be quite challenging to learn and I had no prior experience in video creation or editing. But the instructor covered just about everything in small, well-defined videos. I don't recall seeing how to create a quiz but that would probably be more appropriate to cover in an intermediate course. Now that I've completed the entire course, I'll be going over parts of it again to reinforce what I've learned. I believe that I have the competence now to create effective videos using Camtasia. I would recommend this course to anyone who is just beginning to learn about creating videos in Camtasia

By Jesecia Miller on 1/21/2024

As a beginner, this class walked me through all the features of Camtasia. It was amazing and exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed this class and I honestly feel like a pro. I am ready to take my video editing to the next level with Camtasia. Amazing course. It was worth every penny. Thank you, Aaron!

By Paul Figuera on 12/5/2023

Very well put together course. Constructed in small manageable videos to keep the interest on the topic being discussed. The instructor is very knowledgeable and easy to understand, and shares all of his knowledge. This is a wonderful course if you want to learn Camtasia, I am thoroughly enjoying it and have learned a lot. I would highly recommend this course.

By Ian Walker on 5/25/2023

The instructor, Aaroncayc Aio, has given an excellent brake down of Camtasia 2019 with all its features and functions, going through each of the softwares features in time and detail. However, when this training course was released Camtasia 2022 was on the market and has since been recently upgraded to Camtasia 2023. As a result, the Screen Recorder and Video Editor have been incorporated into the same interface. May I recommend that you produce a Camtasia 2023 course version, that includes many bells and whistles that comes with software upgrades. Thank you!

By Adam Myhre on 4/9/2023

This course was a great overview of Camtasia, and it has changed my workflow. Camtasia handles screencasting so much better than other software I've tried, and this course really helped me wrap my head around all the keyboard shortcuts and different options so I could easily switch from my previous workflow without missing a beat.
