Developers use a preview window for viewing media stored in the timeline and individual clips stored in the clip bin. Camtasia's timeline provides tracks for multiple video and audio recordings and other content such as quizzes and captions.

Different forms of media are separated into tracks in the timeline. To add media to a project, the developer drags content from the clip bin into the timeline.

Screen recordings, video from a web camera, audio from a microphone, and imported media are stored in an unedited form in a clip bin.

Full-motion screen recordings are captured from a selected region of the screen, a specific window, the entire screen, or a PowerPoint presentation. Camtasia's process of creating a presentation ( Figure 1) is much like creating a movie, and components of its interface are similar to those found in video applications such as Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Premiere.
