Instructions for creating running text for videos on Camtasia

Step 1:

First, enter the video you want to edit into Camtasia interface and then drag it down to the Timeline bar below.

Step 2:

Next we select the right time when the video needs to be inserted and click Callouts in the toolbar above.

In the Shape frame click on the triangle icon to expand the interface and then click the T icon to write the content.

Enter the content for the video and then proceed to adjust the format for writing.

Step 3:

Next we move the writing frame to the right outside the video screen if we want to run the word from the right to the right . If you want to run the word from left to right, put the text box outside the screen on the left.

Step 4:

Click on More and then select Visual Properties in the displayed list.

Display the Visual Properties list as shown below.

Step 5:

Now look down on Timeline and click on the text inserted into the video, then click the Add animation button in the Visual Properties interface. At that time, the text shows the dot as shown.

Step 6:

Now switch the text box to the left and back to the right in step 3 to create the direction for the text.

Look down at the Timeline at the writing section, drag the round mark at the top of the long text box to create the running text time. The running text time is displayed in the Duration section.

The resulting word will run from right to left. We can adjust the time to display the text on the video as well as the time to use the word run effect. The text runs from right to left in the video as animation below.

This type of text effect often appears in various locations on the video, used to display more information about the program, or advertise for certain products or services. We have the option of choosing the word display for the video on Camtasia.

I wish you all success!
