Under Compressor, for Depth, select Millions of Colors, and set Quality to Best. In the Key Frames field, adjust your keyframes to every 300 frames. I’ve chosen Animation, as you can see in Figure 9 (below). First, select a good quality codec from the Compression Type pull-down menu.

First of all, make sure you’re creating a QuickTime MOV file.Ĭlick Options to customize your QuickTime settings In the Movie Settings dialog that opens, under Video, click Settings. Note that you might see different defaults than those visible in Figure 8 (below) because mine reflect settings I’ve chosen in an earlier version. When you’re ready to export, go to the Menu toolbar, and choose Share > Advanced Export. You can also skip all of this-say, if you’re planning to do your editing in another application-as we’ll do in this example. Annotation options in the Camtasia editor. You can also add annotations, transitions, animations, callouts, zooms, effects, pans, and a number of useful things to help engage your viewer during the screen capture.įigure 7. Here you can save your recording to your chosen destination. When you’re done recording, Camtasia’s editing tool ( Figure 7, below) will open. Once you’ve selected the region, you’re ready to record ( Figure 6, below).įigure 6. To customize the recording region, simply drag the green vertices shown above until you’ve selected the section you want to show. It’s often a good idea to customize the region, instead of either recording the whole screen or choosing set dimensions, because sometimes you don’t want to show the viewer what’s in the Dock, or what’s in the toolbar.įigure 5.

This provided us with a slow-motion reproduction of the animation (only animates in Firefox, click on the image to see the animation):Īfter Asa created the animation, Dao Gottwald put together a patch that tweaked the timings of the various transitions. Since these animations run pretty fast, developers need to slow the animations down.Īsa Dotzler used Camtasia Studio and recorded the tab closing transitions at 60 fps ( Camtasia Recorder -> Tools -> Options -> Inputs -> 60 fps) and then encoded them at 15 fps ( Save and Edit -> right-click on clip -> Clip Speed -> 25%). Starting in Firefox 12 (currently in the Nightly phase), the animations delay the fading of the opacity to a later time to remove this visual hole.įinding an issue like this may be easy, but seeing at a slow speed what is happening and if a fix works better is hard. This results in a visible hole in the tab strip.
With these two animations occurring at the same time, the tab becomes invisible much earlier than its width becomes 0 pixels. In today’s release version of Firefox, tabs close by reducing their width to 0 pixels while also reducing their opacity to become transparent at the same time. One example is the transition from an open tab to a closed tab. There are some cases where animations in the user interface may appear jerky, having large pauses or stutters while transitioning from one state to another. The people working on Firefox have been spending a lot of time recently making sure that the browser is not just running with the highest performance as possible, but also running with the best perceived performance.
