Camtasia Studio 8.1 Creating a Pop-Out Effect Video Lecture - Create a

so today I want to show you guys how to
create an extruded effect or like a
pop-out effect using Camtasia Studio 8.1
so what I want to do is zoom in to a
specific part of the screen and kind of
pop that out while still showing what's
happening in the canvas so normally if I
wanted to focus on a specific part of
the screen I just to zoom in
scale it to 100%
and realign it
but while this is crisp and clear I've
actually lost sight of what's going on
in the canvas area and since what I'm
adjusting over here affects what things
look like over there
I need to be able to see both in the
context of the other
so what I can do to make that happen is
pop this area out
to start I need to figure out where I
want the effect to begin
so I'll place my playhead right about
here and make a selection from here to
about here
now I need to copy the selection so I'm
going to use the hotkey ctrl C
and paste it by using control V
so now I've got two copies of the same
clip on my timeline and next I'm going
to crop the unneeded areas out so I'll
go up here and click the crop button to
turn crop mode on and you can see that
now there's this thin blue border around
the edges to indicate that crop mode is
on and I'll just crop out everything
except for what I want you guys to see
on the properties panel I'm just going
to zoom in a little bit so that I can
crop this area more precisely
and then turn off crop modes and
sometime
so right now if I scrub over the clips
nothing looks any different
but if I add a custom animation where I
want the zoom in to start by pressing
the hot key Z
and then add another at the end where I
want the panel to zoom back out
all I have to do is change what happens
in the middle
so I'll scale it up a bit
and now when I play it back you'll see
it pops out and I can see exactly what's
going on in the properties
as well as what's going on in the canvas
you can also add a drop shadow to make
sure that the pop out doesn't blend into
the background just split the clip at
the end of each animation so that the
shadow doesn't appear when the panel is
it's normal size
and then apply a drop shadow to the
middle section
I'll just tweak it a little bit to make
sure that everything looks good
and now when I play it back the pop out
has a little bit more polish
so that's it hopefully you found this
useful and thanks for watching
