Cursor:
Cursor Color Effect:
- The new Cursor Color effect lets you instantly change the color scheme of any cursor on the screen. Tired of black and white? Us too. Simply drop the Cursor Color effect onto any media with a recorded cursor or Cursor Path Creator effect and use the color pickers to breathe new life into your cursors. Use bold color choices to grab your audience's attention, or map the cursor colors to your brand with this simple drag and drop effect found in the Cursor Effects tool bin.

Cursor Shadow Effect:
- The cursor is the lead actor of any video that has screen content. You know every hero needs depth and contrast to stand out in a scene. That’s where the new Cursor Shadow effect comes to the rescue. Simply drag the Cursor Shadow effect from the Cursor Effects tool bin onto your media and then adjust the Angle, Offset, Blur and Opacity to draw the cursor away from the screen and increase contrast.

Cursor Packs:
- Really want to stand out from the crowd? Need to put a smile of delight on your audience's face? Our visual designer CoCo has created two cursor packs that unleash a visual feast that’s sure to engage viewers. Replace any cursor in your recording using the drop down menu inside the Cursor Image Replace properties of any recording or media with the Cursor Path Creator effect applied. You won’t be disappointed.
- Neon Cursor Pack - (58 cursors)
- Hand Drawn Cursor Pack (25 cursors)

Visual Effects:
Camtasia Filters:
- Create a wide range of looks from warm and sunny to cool and moody. Whether you’re looking to achieve a cinematic color tone, give your footage a vintage feel, or lean into a futuristic look Camtasia Filters gets you there with a simple drag and drop effect.
- Thirty-two unique color Filters (Color LUTs) can now be found in the new Filters tab of the Visual Effects tool bin.

Motion Path Effect:
- Add dynamic animation that flows and swoops along a path using the new Motion Path effect. This delightfully simple effect lets you add movement to any element in your video. Once applied, it’s super simple to add additional path animations just by context-clicking anywhere on the canvas and choosing Extend Path to Here. Looking for some EXTRA awesome sauce? Toggle on Auto Orient in the properties panel and make your media rotate as if it really is following the path. And that’s just the beginning my friends–dig into the effect properties for granular control over easing and line types.

Vignette Effect:
- One of the most iconic and versatile effects in the photo / video world is now a simple drag and drop effect in Camtasia. The new Vignette effect makes it easy to create a cinematic look that draws viewers attention to the center of your content. Make your photos or videos appear as though they were shot using expensive, vintage glass, or just wash away unwanted details at the edges of your media. Vignette ships with a number of simple adjustments that let you refine and shape the effect.
- Control the intensity and black and white color tone of the effect using the Amount slider.
- Use the Size, Roundness, and Feather sliders to control the focus area.

AI Background Removal (Beta):
- Don’t have the time, patience or money to set up a green screen? No problem–let the robots do the heavy lifting. Fire up your camera, record yourself, add that video to your Camtasia timeline and then just drop the Background Removal effect onto the clip. Now place your footage in the perfect position over your screen content to get that modern streaming influencer look.

Editing:
Corner Pinning:
- Use the new Corner Pin editing mode to map an image or video to a 3d perspective. Found the perfect hand model photo? It’s now super simple to make a screenshot of your app appear as if it’s part of the original scene in that stock photo–just click on Corner Pin mode and drag the corners of your content to match the desired scene.

Assets:
New 2023 Asset Library:
- Hand crafted with love in the Mitten, the 2023 Camtasia Asset Library has been revamped from the bottom up. This year's focus has been on making the content easier to browse and even more customizable. There are a ton of new assets including the headliners of the Camtasia 2023 release–Dynamic Backgrounds and Dynamic Fills. Just dropping these assets on the Canvas will instantly elevate the style and appearance of your video. Camtasia’s powerful and flexible Quick Properties and Dynamic Properties make it easy to customize the assets to put your own personal spin on how your content looks.

Dynamic Background / Dynamic Fill Assets:
- Whether you’re looking for a stunning background or a sexy fill, Camtasia has you covered. These aren’t run of the mill video assets or stock footage, either. Need that background to last a few seconds or a few hours? No problem, just drag the length to match whatever you want. Need to scale things, but don’t want jaggies / softness? Again we’ve got you covered. Tired of backgrounds that eat up hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes? Our Dynamic Backgrounds and Fills are insanely small–just a few kilobytes in size. Want that background to contain fluid, looping motion? Just drag the speed slider to set the speed of the motion in your background for the duration it appears on the timeline. Really want to have some fun? Every single Dynamic Background and Fill has its own set of dynamic properties that allow you to adjust color, speed, number of elements and much, much more. It’s as if Camtasia ships with an ultra slick set of expensive plugins that create beautiful motion backgrounds and fills. No extra cost. No plugins needed.

Templates:
- Looking for some inspiration? Need a beautiful layout to drop a title and a screenshot on? On the hunt for elegant framing that wraps around mobile and desktop screen content? Our new unstructured templates give you the perfect starting point without forcing a narrative structure that doesn’t fit your needs.

Asset Discovery in Camtasia Home:
- Looking for more inspiration? Facing a deadline and need stunning results immediately? A collection of customizable titling, lower thirds, animations, motion graphics and more is available via our cloud based asset service. Our content team is working hard to surface the best free, premium, and featured assets for use in your next video. And now, it’s easier than ever to discover these assets in Camtasia Home just below Recent Projects.

Portfolio:

Snagx Support and Roundtrip Snagit Editing (Mac):
- Captured the perfect screenshot only to discover that its UI elements are too busy for your video? No problem, simply context-click on the image in the media bin, choose Edit in Snagit, let the Simplify Tool there do its magic and then send it back to Camtasia. Even better, the Snagx image format is now supported, allowing you to perform roundtrip editing of annotations and adjustments made in Snagit.
