Camtasia 7 and Full HD (1920x1080 / 1080p resolution)

As the post implies that is not something that works out of the box. But the following steps proved to work to create a video recorded on full HD.

Out of the box Camtasia 7.1.1 was always producing videos with missing lower right hand-side; Like it was not taking the whole screen, but only 1/2-2/3 of the top-left-most area.

Once I figured out a way to force the full HD resolution it would give me an out of memory exception:

Camtasia Studio

Error: E_OUT_OF_MEMORY has been returned when trying to
write the file. This may be caused by the videos with large
dimensions on the timeline. Please verify that all videos on
...

  • When selecting screen or manually highlighting the screen area the recording would correctly put the green boxes around the full screen space.
  • Yet, the recording dimension were something around 1500x800, not 1920x1080.
  • So, this needs to be manually edited.
  • After the recording finished, for whatever reason, the resulting capture-1.camrec would have a zomm applied - this needs to be reset to no zoom.
  • When then the recorder hands off the file to the Camtasia studio, the preview would stay blank/black.
  • Double clicking the thumbnail would "light up" the preview.
  • Directly trying to now save this to an MP4 would result in an out of memory error message.
  • Now a shrink to fit zoom needs to be applied, like 640xsomething.
  • Et voila, works

How to read an assembly.dll.config

There is the common misconception that only a app.exe.config can be read in .NET C#. The truth is that the app.config is automatically read, while any other (correctly formed) app.config XML file can be read "manually". To open a named config file: Reference System.Configuration.dll assembly Using System.Configuration Create code like: Configuration GetDllConfiguration(Assembly targetAsm) { var configFile = targetAsm.Location + ".config"; var map = new ExeConfigurationFileMap { ExeConfigFilename = configFile }; return ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(map, ConfigurationUserLevel.None); } Sources: stackoverflow: Reading dll.config (not app.config!) from a plugin module Keywords: .NET, C#, app.config, dll.config, ConfigurationManager
