How to Highlight With a Mouse in Camtasia for Mac
If you want to create a walkthrough video of something you're doing on your computer, you may want to consider using the Camtasia program. When you use Camtasia, your computer takes a video of everything you do on your desktop -- ideal if you're trying to walk someone through a complicated process. Unfortunately, Camtasia for Mac doesn't offer a way for you to highlight your cursor. Instead, you'll have to use a third-party application.
