I am a previous Windows Camtasia user, recently switched to Mac. So, I'm trying to figure things out in the Mac version.
The way I usually work is I take a video recording, make my necessary edits, add captions (from a script that was previously created), make additional edits to fit the captions, and finally record my audio according to the caption placement that I have already made.
This is possible in Windows, however the Mac version (from what I can see) works slightly different. I can only add my captions on top of an audio file.
So, now I'm not sure how I can continue my workflow... Please share your tips and tricks.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi adia,
You're right, on mac you can only add captions to a clip that has audio. This is a bit of a work around, but something you could do is a silent voice recording that is the length of your entire video, then add captions to that. Then you can do your actual recording with captions.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the workaround! although it is kind of a hassle to do it this way. plus this means that the captions will not be connected to the audio (even though that's how it is in Windows anyways :))

Yeah it is not ideal I will agree there :(
It is helpful to get your feedback on this!

I understand that sometimes its not possible, but it would be incredibly useful if both Mac and Windows versions have the same functionalities.
