I am testing different screen capture and video editing tools to create demo and promo videos of my iOS apps. Currently I am using Snagit + Camtasia and "Another tool" (with "Flow" in its name :)
The goal is to capture videos of the iOS simulator which show how operate my apps. When using a mobile device the default mouse cursor looks quite odd. The other tools offers an easy to use feature to replace the default cursor with a custom one (e.g. a white circle) which shows touch/hold/swipe, etc much better than.
Is there such a feature in Camtasia two? I know the cursor effects but they only highlight the default coursor (e.g. with a ring or circle) and ripples or waves are not good to illustrate touch gestures.
I also know, that I can capture a video directly from my iOS device but this is not what I want (I do not own an iPad Pro but running a iPad Pro simulator is no problem).
So, how do this in Camtasia?

We don't currently have the ability to replace the cursor with an image. However, you could add a "Cursor Highlight" effect, and then hide the cursor, so that all that remains is the highlight circle:
Thank you for your help, however the cursor feature seems to be quite buggy. I have captured a simple video with some clicks inside a browser. When editing this clip in Camtasia 3.0.6 (98750) neither the click effects nor the highlight effects do work.
When I add a click effect, it appears in the bottom left corner of the clip and not at the actual click location. Adding a highlight effect does not work at all. The clips is all black and a click on the canvas crashes the app.
You can find a video that illustrates these bugs here: http://aqserver.de/Camtasia3_Crash.mp4
Any advice?

yikes, that's not common and definitely a problem. To help us narrow it down, I'm wondering if you use multiple monitors? If so, does it still happen if only one monitor is active??
I think we could get deeper into this if you open a tech support ticket, so that you can send them your project (we can look into it to see where the breakdown happens).

No, only one monitor (iMac display). I will create the support ticket...
