Produce with Captions Under the Video
with or without Search Capability
The Under video captions option in the production wizard adds blank vertical space to the video and places the captions under the video in that space. Captions placed under the video are not Closed captions and cannot be turned off.
The Searchable feature adds a search pane to the video and allows viewers to search for text in captions, PowerPoint slides, PowerPoint notes, and markers. Viewers can click a search result to jump to that location in the video.
Only PowerPoint presentations recorded as TREC recording files can be made searchable.
These options are also available with Camtasia Studio 8.3 and earlier CAMREC files.
