In Camtasia Studio you can zoom and pan later during editing. That’s what I usually do. You can zoom in to different areas of what you’ve recorded.
But when I want to pan during recording I use Camstudio. I can still edit the files it makes in Camtasia.

@Gimpologist I’m sticking with 6 too. Just thought I’d mention it in case you were still using the trial and hadn’t bought it yet.

@GIMPtricks I think I’ll stick with 6, my dad bought be it, but I dont think he’ll get me 7 aswell
Anyway, great tutorials, all I can say is keep it up

@GIMPtricks
Do you do the panning when you record or is it done in editing?

@Gimpologist
Yes it is. I think version 7 out now though. If you want to pan you can use Camstudio to record.

Wow, great use of bump mapping to make that effect. Thanks
PS – What screen recorder do you use? Is it Camtasia Studio 6?
