    Thanks for the update and especially all of the bug fixes!

    BTW, your link to Camtasia updates actually takes you to SnagIT updates.
    Should be:

    Eeek, GetSat messed up my link. Thanks for the heads up. I think it should be corrected now.

    I've been using 2019 for a couple of days now and I'm not impressed. The performance is painfully slower than 2018. Simple tasks such as splicing a project or removing a highlighted portion constantly gets the beach ball. Looks like this version is not ready for prime time!

    Sorry to hear that's been your experience. We would really appreciate it if you contacted our support team, opened up a ticket and provided the specs on the machine, OS and project. Our support folks are great and if there's an issue we can reproduce we'll get bug opened for it and fix it.

    I have provided the ticket today after problems importing media to v19. Couldn’t use edit from PowerPoint because main Camtasia application wouldn’t open when edit button pressed. Never had this many problems with a new Camtasia release before

    I'm also having serious issues with Camtasia 2019 that makes it unusable (Mojave - Macbook Pro 16 gb ram)

    I'm constantly getting the beachball occurring when editing, and now after saving, closing and re-opening my project won't play.... somethings definitely going on with the 2019 release...

    We're working on it. Apple has changed some things recently, so we're going back and forth with them at moment.

    Still having major issues with the spinning beachball appearing regularly and freezing Camtasia 2019, despite support suggesting to delete my plist files and restarting.

    Camtasia 2019 is totally unusable right now, going back to Camtasia 2018 - when will 2019 be stable on a mac?

    Hello Simon,

    Sorry to hear you are having difficulties. We haven't been getting a flood of reports like this. Definitely not the experience we want. Please open a support ticket so our techs can troubleshoot the issue. If you're experiencing a bug, they will get it filed, we'll triage and fix it. If it's one off system issues, they are very experienced at helping identify / fix issues.

    Best,

    I applied the changes to my system folder as recommended. It improved things for about a day, then the performance went back to the beach ball again. Edits seem to get worse over time. I'd hate to have to clear my system libraries each time I need to work on Camtasia. A fix is definitely needed!

    The most recent update to 2019 that was just released seems to have fixed the beach ball issue with editing. Thank you!

    Does not look like there are improvements to the mediocre closed captions support. But are there?
    Can I import and export VTT? And export to VTT?

    The 2018 edition of  Camtasia does not have good Closed Caption editing features. It is somewhat bare bones.

    One example is: When I click Add Caption, it adds it at the VERY END of the project, does not insert it at timeline. That kind of thing. No Qualiy of Life at all over this and editing CC is much more of a pain in this software than it had to  be.

    For all the authoring tools I find out there, closed captioning is always the red headed step child that is included so one can tick off the Section 508 tick box in the marketing material.
