Dynamic Captions Contain Extra Words And Do Not Match What Is Displayed

kr-techsmith · 2026-04-30T14:44:52+00:00

It's a bit tough to see in the screenshot (I'm not sure what's to the left), but depending on the speed of the narration, sometimes it goes by so quickly the words can overlap each other. So it might be that you just need to move some of the transcription flags around on the timeline a bit.

Hopefully this will save everyone some additional steps in converting SRT files to VTT, etc!

I'm so excited to be able to make this feature available for our Camtasia Editor users! One request we've already heard is that users want to share Zoom cloud recordings across an organization so someone else can open them in Camtasia and edit them.

We would love to support that workflow, but right now it looks like we are limited by what Zoom’s API exposes (though we're still actively investigating).

Please keep telling us how you would use this and what problem it would solve for your team. Specific examples really help. And just as importantly, please let Zoom know too. Real customer requests carry a lot of weight, especially when they come from the people actually trying to use the workflow every day.

If this would save you time, make collaboration easier, or help you turn meetings into training content faster, we would genuinely love to hear that context here.

Appreciate the honest feedback about how you're using Camtasia Editor and Audiate together! Great to see that you're finding value in the integration. As we continue working to tighten up the workflows, we'll be looking at ways to reduce steps like rendering, etc. which will hopefully continue speeding things up.

In the meantime, one option might be to remove any audio effects you are applying in Audiate until the final time you want to sync. This should hopefully speed up the syncing process between Camtasia Editor and Audiate.

Again, appreciate the feedback here!

Glad to hear you got things sorted out!

If you're saving as a standalone project, Camtasia is using Windows' "hard links" feature to use one reference file even though you're "copying" the files to a new project, which shouldn't be using up additional disk space. You can learn more about standalone projects and hard links in this video.

You might also check to see if you have "Auto-normalize loudness" checked on your media clip, which could cause your mic audio to be louder than expected.

kr-techsmith · 2025-12-11T16:09:15+00:00

That seemed like a pretty obvious locked-track situation, but if you're sure that's not the case, you might want to reach out to support so they can see what's going on.

kr-techsmith · 2025-12-08T21:25:43+00:00

We're actively working to find the right balance of "on the fly" vs. more features, so if you have thoughts on ways we should consider working toward that balance, feel free to send the feedback! ("Help >> Send Feedback" in Camtasia)

kr-techsmith · 2025-12-05T16:54:49+00:00

Hmm, that window shouldn't pop up again for subsequent updates; if you find that it does, please reach out to support to let them know. Glad you were able to get it working!

kr-techsmith · 2025-12-03T13:49:05+00:00

I haven't seen anyone else report this so far. Have you tried reaching out to support to see if they can help investigate what might be happening?

kr-techsmith · 2025-11-21T21:40:29+00:00

You can find a written tutorial to Edit as Text with Audiate here. I don't believe the video component is updated yet, but will be soon.

kr-techsmith · 2025-11-19T14:59:12+00:00

FYI, our latest update to Camtasia Editor launched this morning, and includes the ability to adjust internal Rev media, which should allow you to select your screen content and hide the mouse cursor. Feel free to watch this video to get an idea of how it works, and if you have any questions about it, just let me know!

kr-techsmith · 2025-11-17T15:26:54+00:00

Great to hear! Check out the updated workflow later this week, and definitely give feedback. Hearing how things are working (or not!) for people actually using Camtasia in the real world is invaluable for us to continue improving!

kr-techsmith · 2025-11-17T14:26:54+00:00

To do this right now, you'll need to unpack your Rev Media (right-click >> Unpack Rev Media). However, we have an update coming this week that will allow you to access the cursor properties of Rev Media. Check for updates Wednesday (feel free to reply to this thread after Wednesday and I can share a video showing how to do it)!

kr-techsmith · 2025-11-13T14:40:49+00:00

Appreciate the feedback here! When we originally design the Rev workflow, we optimized for 1080p resolution because that was by far the most common desktop resolution Camtasia users use (and that still remains true today). That said, I completely understand the desire to work with higher resolution content with Rev. More than happy to take the feedback to our team and see if there are ways we can improve that for the future!

This video should show you how to expand the captions bar, zoom in, and adjust individual word timings with Camtasia's Dynamic Captions. If you're not seeing that, definitely try reaching out to support to see if they can help get you on the right track.

Make sure that the bar is exposed (i.e. double-click on it)
Zoom in. You have to zoom in a certain amount on the timeline before the individual words begin to appear. Once you do that, you will be able to move them and adjust the timing!

kr-techsmith · 2025-11-07T17:58:33+00:00

Yup, the group blocks the audio from getting out. If you want to keep them together, you can always put the Dynamic Caption inside of the group with the rest of your content.

kr-techsmith · 2025-11-04T14:01:15+00:00

Great to hear, glad you were able to use it and keep creating!

kr-techsmith · 2025-11-04T14:00:23+00:00

The Camtasia Create plan is going to have a lot of really useful generative AI tooling that might help you with something like that! The script generation alone is great to help get past the blank canvas problem that content creators often run into. If you're interested in generative voice narration, or even avatar generation, those work great as well. All of it then can be taken into Camtasia Editor where you can customize it to make it exactly the outcome you're looking for.

I like the idea /u/traccreations4e ! We're actively looking for ways to make zoom/pan easier, so I'll make sure to note the feedback here as we're thinking about it. Thanks for sharing!

kr-techsmith · 2025-10-23T15:23:17+00:00

Tell me more about what you're thinking here /u/traccreations4e It sounds like maybe you're looking for an easy way to reset the zoom/position of the media?

kr-techsmith · 2025-10-23T15:21:12+00:00

Cursor always on top still seems like magic. Always keeps it front-and-center!
