TechSmith Releases Korean Version of Camtasia Studio 3 with Picture-in-Picture for On-Demand Demonstrations, Training and PowerPoint Presentations

New Release Captures Video from Web Cameras, Simplifies Editing and Publishing, and Offers Web-Hosting Option

Seoul, Korea- October 25, 2005 - TechSmith Corp., the world's leading provider of screen capture and recording solutions, today announced the availability of Camtasia Studio 3 with digital video capture and picture-in-picture (PIP) capabilities, giving users a single solution to create the most realistic on-demand software demonstrations and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations possible. TangunSoft is the official reseller of Camtasia Studio and SnagIt in Korea.

Camtasia Studio allows individuals with no multimedia or programming expertise to create on-demand demonstrations, presentations, and screencasts to communicate in a more effective, engaging and visually informative manner. Camtasia Studio now enables users to include video of a presenter, which can be added to a presentation via PIP. Multimedia content created in minutes with Camtasia Studio is proven to reduce costs associated with technical support and helpdesks, and improve the effectiveness of online training, sales presentations, and marketing initiatives.

"With this release we're making it even easier for businesses to knock down the knowledge and language barriers inherit in the adoption and use of technical products," said Troy Stein, Camtasia Studio Product Manager at TechSmith. "Being able to quickly create a professional and realistic demonstration, or a quick how-to video, that people can see, hear and experience whenever and wherever they choose, will translate into more knowledgeable and productive employees at all skill levels, and happier customers."

Camtasia Studio automatically records exactly what a user sees on a computer screen, what they say, and how they interact with any application or Web site on a Windows desktop. Users can then edit and share the demonstrations online or via fixed media in all popular streaming media formats, including Flash (SWF).

In addition to video capture and PIP other new features in Camtasia Studio 3 include:

• 30 days of free Web hosting - Camtasia Studio 3 users receive 30 days of free third-party Web hosting for their videos, with additional monthly contract options.
• JPEG compression for Flash (SWF) - Users can significantly reduce SWF file size for graphically intensive recordings such as photographs, CAD drawings, or any complex graphic.
• Automated publishing - New production wizard aids users in publishing and sharing videos, optimized for email or DVD sharing.
• Quizzing - Allows organizations to assess learning with multiple-choice quizzes. Answers can be reported back to SCORM-compliant Learning Management Systems.
• Interactive Callouts - Gives users one-click control to make any Callout a HotSpot for interactive navigation.
• Additional audio and video tracks - With richer video production capabilities, such as PIP, additional audio and video tracks are provided.
• Faster audio editing - A new audio-editing toolbar has been added to help users quickly adjust audio levels.
