If you’ve created a camtasia video using the latest version (V.5), and updated your Adobe flash to the latest version, you’ve no doubt noticed that “chipmunks” seem to have invaded the audio in your video.
This also applies to those watching/listening to these videos. I made the mistake of choosing to update my Flash! So now I have to put up with the obnoxious “chirping”.
There is a “fix” for anyone who has created these videos. Techsmith has a fix which doesn’t require having to re-produce the videos. They’ve contacted Adobe so they can create a fix on their end, which will solve the problem for those of us watching these camtasia videos. But we have to wait for that or find a way to install the previous version of Adobe’s flash until they correct the problem.
I found this entertaining video that sheds some light on the camtasia audio problem:

That worked, I had to use the downloaded converter thing. But now there are no controls for the video.

OMG, thank you. I spent the entire day learning and recording Camtasia for my first training video. the video is so big, 8 minutes or so and then after several failed attempts, I record the videa and then decide to record the narration. I FINALLY get it timed just right, figure out the editing and record the audio and its sounds like I have had too much coffe and might be drunk! what the heck……thank you so much for the help. too tired tonight but will work through it all tomorrow. THANK YOU
