Camtasia MP4 Error and Medialooks Watermark Removal

Adrian Video Image has posted a new item, 'Camtasia MP4 Error and Medialooks Watermark Removal'

Something really annoying happened to my Camtasia today. Wasted four hours of productivity just to figure out the solution.

What happened?

A “medialooks” logo appeared out of nowhere and stuck itself on the top left hand corner of all my renders.

I used the same setting I have always been using for the past few months without problem.

How did the “medialooks” logo get there? What did I do wrong? Was it some overlooked settings?

After going through all my Camtasia settings, I cannot find anything that will even turn on the logo.

Googling for the answer, I learnt that the uninvited “medialooks” logo will appear in videos when there is some kind of QuickTime trial software installed.

Nonsense! I did not install any kind of QuickTime trial programs… wait… I did the regular update of iTunes and QuickTime player 3 days ago.

Then some forum expert suggests uninstalling QuickTime and installing free K-lite codec. So I followed exactly.

Great! The time-sucking problematic logo is gone. BUT now, there is a new issue!

Introducing the second problem…

Camtasia cannot detect MP4 video. There is audio but no visual.

What I am doing is use Camtasia to convert an MP4 video rendered from Sony Vegas to another format.

After tweaking K-lite and messing around with the confusing settings, Camtasia still cannot read an MP4 video properly.

What next?

Uninstalled K-lite codec… re-installed QuickTime…

NOW… Camtasia completely cannot accept MP4 files… and always showing codec error message.

Then it hit me… A little voice spoke…telling me what to do.

“Uninstall and re-install Camtasia!”

YES! it worked.

No need K-lite codec at all. Just install QuickTime first then install Camtasia.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee @Adrian Video Image The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1. Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline. It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background. It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX... 2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
