Hello,
We worked with Wistia to come up with some best practices for producing and uploading video to your Wistia account. You can find this content on the Wistia site, but, I thought I would post it here as well.
(I know some have asked for a direct Wistia output - we are aware of this request, but, I don't have information on whether this will make it into Camtasia or not.)

Best Practices for PC
- Within the project you wish to share open in Camtasia Studio, head up to File >
Produce and Share. On the first page of the Production Wizard, choose the Custom Production Settings preset.
- Confirm that the File Format is set to MP4 and then click next. In the Size menu, make sure to set the dimensions to 1920x1080, and check Keep Aspect Ratio.
- Under Video Settings, change the encoding mode to Bitrate, and change the quality to 15,000 kbps.
- Give your video a name and destination and click Save. The video will be
rendered as an MP4 file which you can then easily upload to Wistia. Woo!
Best Practices for Mac
- To export a perfect MP4 for Wistia from Camtasia, you'll want to first head to Share and then Advanced Export. Confirm that the File Format is set to Export to MP4 and then click Options.
- Set your dimensions to 1920x1080 and make sure that the aspect ratio is preserved (Preserve Aspect Ratio).
- Change the Data Rate to custom, and bump up to 15,000 kbps. Click okay and choose a destination.
- Export that file and you're good to go!
