Add a System Stamp While Recording
A system stamp inserts recording information such as time/date and elapsed time into the recording.
Camtasia Recorder permanently overlays the system stamp text onto the recording. This cannot be removed or edited within Camtasia Studio.
- Before recording, select the system stamp options. Select Effects > Options > Annotation tab > System Stamp group box.
- Click the Time/Date Format button to change the order and layout of the Time/Date stamp. Click OK when finished.
- On the Annotation tab, click OK to exit.
- Turn on the System Stamp option. Select Effects > Annotation > Add System Stamp. A checkmark lets you know the option is turned on.
The system stamp appears in each recording file until the option is turned off. Select Effects > Annotation > Add System Stamp to turn the option off.
