VST support in Camtasia Studio would allow users with professional audio plugins to improve the quality of their audio. VST plugins range across a huge variety of effects and filters. For instance, a user with expensive EQ, compression, and mastering plugins could deliver professional-quality voiceovers. It also gives the user more freedom and control to do whatever they want with their screencasts.
My proposal would be that we support VST effects, but NOT VST instruments, since those are intended for music production (and Camtasia Studio is not).
If you use VST, feel free to chime in with any ideas/expectations you have. Some important things might be:
What version of VST are your plugins based on? 1.0? 2.0? 3.0?
Do you have any 64-bit VST plugins you would like to use in Camtasia Studio?
Do you need effect chaining?
Would you like an effect chain for the "Master" signal? For each track? For each clip?

This sounds great Randy.
VST support and ASIO Drivers would be phenomenal! (Even though Camtasia is a very solid product as is already ;)).
My main use of VSTs inside Camtasia would be for Sidechain compression, as I record "beat making videos", teaching others how to make beats. So while the beat goes on, I'd like to lower the volume of the beat while I talk.
I would also use a gate to quiet the background noise (computer fan etc.).
The plugins I am using at the moment are FabFilter plugins.
My guess would be.. 32-bit would be sufficient, as this is not really "Audio production", but just more for audio clean up and to achieve more professional results!
Camtasia has been an awesome addition to what I do.
Thanks,

Yes, agree completely to Randy's statement above:
"My proposal would be that we support VST effects, but NOT VST instruments".
I would say for the first implementation 64bit is still not priority as many first just one to reuse there vst effects from music production software, .. in the meantime it has become usual for Video processing software to have 1-2 vst slots for audio effect processing, see for example here:

Thanks and.. Camtasia Studio is really an exiting software, I like it very much.

It's unbelievable that this software has no compression or eq available. Clearly you price this as a professional tool, but have no interest in appealing to professional media producers.

This was one of my first thoughts as well.
There are some devices on the market with NoiseGates like the Roland Quad Capture but if you haven't this kind of device you'll probably miss it.
With a Mac the audio routing is a quite a bit better and you could try to reroute the signal in and out of a $daw but seriously... why?
VST support or Noise Gate built into Camtasia would be very useful.

@john.fremer Well there is compression support, they just call it Volume Leveling. I find all three presets way too aggressive but there is a customize option that allows you to set the threshold, ratio and makup gain. Limited compared to VST options but at least it's something in case you don't know about it.
VST is now becoming a must. It's 2019 already!
You're so right - I end up having to export to Live and clean things up in there. It just seems like a slow way to do things.
Camtasia doesn't support plug-ins of any kind.
Supporting only 2 channel stereo. With the creation of mono or stereo narration as it's primary focus. For audiophiles looking to create 5.1 or 7.1 channel tutorials. Or an application solution to Camtasia's inadequate audio capabilities. I feel your pain.
Video editing programs edit audio in fps. Thats just the way it is. If they didn't, audio would become out of sync with the video quickly & easily.
However, theres still plenty of programs that support this with or without plug-ins. "Still editing in fps duration's"
People have requested this long before TechSmith moved the community support forum to the Get Satisfaction platform. 7+ years ago.
Which is "Ironic", in that I doubt getting satisfaction on this front is on the horizon. Or will come anytime soon, if ever.
I'm not saying I'm against the feature.
To me, this is akin to asking for a full set of FX filters, including particle emitters.
Another feature outside TechSmith's wheel house.

Mea culpa. You got me dead to rights, there. I'm taking Linkedin Learning on Adobe Premiere Pro, and I completely forgot about that.
I think that comment is exhibit A as to why a Logic Pro/Audition - standalone app that plays well in the same ecosystem as its sibling video editor makes more sense to me than trying to make Camtasia be an audio/video editor.
