- [Instructor] The audio tools in Camtasia are great
for basic audio enhancements.
But if I have a high end project
and I need a bit more production power,
I like to combine forces with a third party editor.
When I go this route, it is one of my final steps
after everything has been edited, reviewed
and the project is essentially locked down.
So over here in Adobe Audition,
I have the audio only vocal track I exported from Camtasia.
You can of course use whatever audio editor works for you.
Audacity is an excellent free tool for Windows
and GarageBand works great on a Mac.
There are tutorials for these apps
as well as many others right here in the learning library.
Okay, after I've made my tweaks here in Audition,
I need to export my file back to Camtasia.
Then back here in Camtasia,
I need to bring in my polished vocal track.
So I like to add it right here on the bottom.
Do whatever works for you.
So I'm going to insert track below here.
So I've got a brand new track right on the bottom
and I'm just going to drag and drop my polished vocal track.
I need to line it up, which is really easy.
I just drag it to the beginning of the project here
and I have one more step,
I need to mute my unpolished audio.
I don't want two instances of the same audio
that might sound wonky.
So here's a quick non-destructive way to do that.
I'm going to select all of my clips with my vocal tracks
and I'm going to group them.
Right click group,
select that group
and over here in the properties panel
I'm going to choose the audio tab
and I'm just going to drop the gain on everything.
And now I have a polished vocal track
to export with my final project.
Now this of course took a bit of extra time
and a few extra steps.
For most Camtasia creations,
a clean recording and the tools here in Camtasia
do the trick just fine.
But for a high end project,
polishing the audio in a third party editor
can give it an extra layer of pro shine.
