32. Replace With Silence Replacing with silence is useful if you want to remove the audio from a section without altering the video Click Audio on the Tab Bar Make a Range Selection on the timeline Click the Silence button Note: This may sound awkward in your project if there is background noise in the rest of your audio

33.

37. Saving and Sharing Your Project

38. Saving a Project Saving the project will create a.camproj file (Camtasia Project) – Small file size – Contains links to media objects – Has instructions to rebuild project to the current state Because the.camproj just has links to files – If any source files are moved or deleted, Camtasia will not know the new location of them – If you send the.camproj to someone else (or a different computer), they won’t have access to your source files

39. Sharing a Project In the File menu, select Export Project as Zip You can Include All Files from Clip Bin if you want source files that weren’t on your timeline to be included as well The recipient of the zip file can go to the File menu and select Import Zipped Project – This will expand the zip, and recreate all of the links
