Bowman Homestead asked "How do you add a news ticker on your Camtasia video
that is longer than a text box?
I have seen a lot of videos teach how to add
the news ticker, but you can only have a small amount of text that way.
Can't wait to hear back!"
Well Bowman, I am happy to provide a tutorial on how to add a news ticker
for your YouTube video, using Camtasia.
You can actually use the same principal in Camtasia 8; however, Camtasia 9 and
above, makes it so much easier!
In addition, I have a bonus Camtasia library asset, a lower third news
ticker, which I will teach you how to easily customize in Camtasia, using
your branded colors for your YouTube videos.

Okay, the first step to setting up your news ticker in Camtasia is to click on
Annotations and then Callouts if it is not already selected.
Then select one of the text icons, it really doesn't matter which one, just
drag it onto the canvas.
Go to Visual Properties and remove the Drop Shadow.
If you wanted a colored background for your ticker, go back to Annotations and
select Shapes.
Go to the drop down and select Bold.
Click on the white rectangle and drag it onto the canvas.
We're selecting this one because unlike some of the other choices in Camtasia,
this callout has sharp corners, not rounded corners to the rectangle.
Drag the edge to the right side and lower the height.
Let's go to Annotation Properties in the Properties Panel and change the
color of the Camtasia callout.
Click on the dropdown and select a color.
I know the color I want for my brand, so I will type it in here.
Now drag the text callout down over the rectangle and adjust it height wise.
Let me move the text to the track above the rectangle callout.
There we go.
Double click inside the text box to highlight it.
Now, if you want to change the font, go to the font properties, and change the
font to what you want.
I'm going to make this Arial Bold, as I have found a bolder, thicker font is
easier to read as it moves across the screen.
Move the text box to the edges and set the text to left justified.
Now let me demonstrate what Bowman was referring to when it looks as though
you can only have a small amount of text.
Watch what happens when the text gets to the end.
Holy moly!
That's not good!
Okay, so here's the first trick to adding a news ticker onto your video.
The text box needs to be much wider.
To do this, click in the canvas area and if you have a scroll wheel on your
mouse, scroll down.
You can also do this by holding your Control key down plus the minus key to
minimize.
This is a little too small for me to work with, so I'm going to increase the
size slightly by scrolling up a little bit.
Now, I'll click on the end of text box and widen the box to the right.
I want to make it as wide as it will go, so I'll hold down the spacebar,
which turns the cursor into a hand.
I'll move the canvas to the left and widen the text box as wide as Camtasia
will allow.
I'll then go up to Canvas Options and select fit, which fits everything into
the Camtasia canvas area.
I'll move the text box a little bit to the left, type some more, move to the
left, type some, and just finish typing.
One important thing to remember is to end on a full sentence because if we
are going to add more new tickers to our video, it's easier to do with full
sentences.
You may also find you have additional text that will minimize the size of the
font as before.
Just keep an eye on it and don't let it minimize to the point it is hard to
read as it is moving, we can always set up another text box to follow it.
When you have finished, and if the text size automatically minimized, make a
note of the font size, you want to ensure the font size of the second box
is going to be the same.
Now move the text box to the right, off of the canvas, making sure to use the
yellow lines to help keep you in line with the rectangle underneath.
Go to the timeline and extend the text box and the rectangle to 35 seconds.
I found this is about the right amount of time, plus or minus, for the ticker
to move from the right to the left and be readable.
Lock track one, which is your colored background, and click on track two,
which is your text.
Move the playhead anywhere on the timeline.
To quickly add an animation, you can press Shift plus A.
Or you can do it by clicking on Animations, the Animations tab, then
dragging custom onto the text callout.
I like using keyboard shortcuts because they are faster!
Click on the animation to make sure it is selected.
The playhead should be lined up with the end of the animation.
Move the text box to the left and off the canvas, once again, making sure to
use the yellow lines as a guide.
Go to the animation and move each end of the animation to the left and to the
right of the text box.
Here's one thing I always keep forgetting to do, right click on the
animation.
From the drop-down menu, select Enable Easing and then Linear.
This will ensure the text moves across to the left at the same pace.
Let's see how this looks.
It's moving across the screen at a slow, but not too slow, and easy pace
to read.
If you are going to add additional text, when the end of this original
text box appears, stop the playhead.
Making sure the text box is highlighted, copy it by pressing
Control plus C. Then paste it by pressing Control plus V.
A copy of the text box will be placed at the playhead.
Move the playhead a little, so more of the text is showing in the second box.
Then double click in the text box to highlight all the text and start typing
your new text to replace the text in the second text box.
You can unlock track one to widen the rectangle to match the full width of
both text boxes and relock it, so you can continue working on the second text box.
Now you can watch the full ticker to see if everything flows well and adjust
as necessary.
If you want to add even more text, then all you need to do is copy and paste
the text box again.
This a straightforward and plain news ticker for your YouTube videos.
However, there is the bonus I promised.
It's a lower third news ticker, which I created from scratch just for you and
it's completely free.
I'm going to demonstrate how you can use this, change all the colors, and
the text for your own branding.
When you have finished the video, use the link in the description below for
this free library asset for Camtasia versions 9 and above.
Sorry, this Camtasia library asset will not work with Camtasia 8 or earlier versions.
Once you have imported the asset to your Camtasia Library, right click on
it and select Add to Timeline at Playhead.
Let's expand this a little and look at an important aspect of this group.
On the left of the group, we have a slide right transition and on the right
of the group, we have a fade transition.
Both of these are at 26 milliseconds.
Make a note of that because we will lose these transitions when we take the
next step, which is to right click and select Ungroup, or use the shortcut key
of Control plus U.
Let's expand the tracks, so we can see everything.
As you know, everybody works differently.
How I like to work with library assets, is to group everything as much as
possible and then label each group, this helps make everything clear, so I
am not looking at hundreds of tracks all at once!
Let's click outside of this, so nothing is highlighted, and take a quick look
at the layout of the land.
We have the second tab.
The first tab.
The accent bar.
The bottom bar.
The bottom vignette.
And then, each of the animated glows.
Before we get started, I'll add a video clip behind this, so you can see the
full effect as we work.
I'll go to the track one, right click on it, and select insert track below.
I have a video clip in my media bin, which I will drag down to track one.
I'll also expand it and resize it for this demo.
I'll lock it and I'll lock all the other tracks, except for the one I am
working on at the time.
I personally like locking tracks when I'm working on an area that has
numerous tracks.
It helps me avoid any possible mishaps.
And let me tell you, I have had some mishaps!
I'll work on the second tab.
I'll click on the plus sign to expand it.
Let's change the color of the second tab first by highlighting it and
changing the color in the Properties Panel.
You can choose any color you want by using the slider and moving the picker
around in the square.
If you know the colors you want to use already, you can use their HEX code, or
click on the mode to switch to the RGB mode.
I already have some HEX codes, so I'm going to enter the color for what I want.
Now, click on the text clip and double click the text to highlight all the text.
Okay, see what happened?
The group closed on us.
This sometimes happens depending on how many items are grouped and how the
layers are arranged.
In this case, the fastest thing to do is to ungroup for the moment.
We can now double click on the text to highlight it and type in whatever we
want here.
I'll say, "Training Channel."
Now we can go down to the tracks, regroup them, name it again if you
would like, right click, select remove all empty tracks, and lock that track.
Simple!
On to the next step and unlock track three.
Click on the plus sign to expand it.
Let's do the same thing to change the color of the first tab.
Go to Colorize in the Properties Panel, drop down the color selection, either
select a color or paste in your color number.
Let's take care of the logo.
Right click on the logo track and select Replace Media.
Select your logo or whatever image you would like here.
More than likely your image will be larger, so you will need to adjust it to fit.
If you would like a little more room for your logo, unlock track two, select
both groups, and then use your up arrow to bring up the tabs slightly.
Not too much, you don't want the news track to visually be unbalanced, but
you can see you have quite a bit of room to experiment.
Then adjust the logo to the new height.
I think I'll also bring the text on the second tab down a little.
Let's lock those tracks and move on to track four.
Let's change the accent color.
To get the vignette, we use the same accent color, and then move the color
point or circle down to a much darker hue of that color.
We're getting there!
Let's close that group and lock the track and open track five.
Now this has text and we've already learned it will be easier to deal with
this if we ungroup it first.
Remember, the keyboard shortcut is Control plus U.
Let's change the color of the bottom ticker.
We'll change the vignette on this in a little bit.
We want to change the text first.
Click on the first text box and move your playhead to the left until you can
see the start of the text.
Double click in the text box to highlight everything, and then start
typing with your own text.
Remember, you want to come to the end of the text box by ending with a sentence.
Do the same thing with the next text box.
Remember to proofread what you wrote, nothing feels worse than having a
spelling mistake in your final video!
Okay that all looks good, so let's regroup those, name the group, and
remove the empty tracks.
Lock the track and unlock track six.
The same deal for the vignette.
I'm going to use the same color I used for the bottom track and then choose a
much darker hue of that color Lock the track and unlock track seven.
Hmmm, I like it, but I want the color to be a little subtler.
There's several groups here and there is a way to make changes to all of them
at once.
First, ungroup everything.
Looking at Colorize in the Properties Panel, we see the bottom row is the
yellow and the top is the white.
All I want to do is make the color a little less, maybe the opacity a little
more transparent.
First, I will click on all the animations for the yellow by holding my
Control key down as I select each yellow animation.
Now this is the important part.
This is the important part!
We want the changes we are about to make to affect the animation from the
beginning to the end of it.
We'll click on these two little arrows underneath the Visual Properties icon.
This will switch it on.
It's on when you see them turn red.
Make sure the playhead is resting on the end circle of one of the animations.
Now whatever changes we make will affect all the yellow animations.
From the beginning to the end.
I'm going to change the colorize amount to 95%.
Change the opacity to 95% and change the yellow to a little lighter yellow
hue.
Let's check that.
Yep, I like it.
Now I'm also going to change the opacity on the white to 95%.
I'll click on the first white animation, then hold my Control key
down and click on the rest of the white animations.
Let's change Colorize amount to 95% and Opacity to 65% and check it.
Yep, I like it.
Let's remember to turn off the property changes switch.
It should be grey when it's turned off.
If it's not turned off, later on down the road, you will probably be tearing
your hair out trying to figure out why your animations are not working exactly
the way you want them to work.
So make sure it's turned off.
I'll unclick outside of the animations, so they're no longer highlighted and
regroup each set.
The reason I'm regrouping each set, rather than grouping together, is I may
decide down the road that I want to adjust one of the glow affects to the
right or left, and it's easier to do it this way.
Okay, let's unlock all the news ticker tracks, then group all of them together.
Rename it.
Go to Transitions and scroll down to Slide Right and drag that animation
onto the group.
I only want this to be 26 milliseconds.
I'll move to the end of the group and add the Fade transition, also adjusting
it for 26 milliseconds.
Let's remove all the empty tracks and take a quick look at the full effect.
There you go.

news ticker library asset.
