Enabling 1080p recording on Techsmith's Camtasia (Mac)

Sourced from: https://feedback.techsmith.com/techsmith/topics/1080p-recording


The webcam recording in Camtasia is factory-limited to 720p for performance reasons, but can be user-modified.  There are two preferences needed to implement the change, maxCameraWidthRecordingScreen and maxCameraWidthNotRecordingScreen.

To set the preferences, implement the following in a Mac Terminal:

$ defaults write com.techsmith.camtasia2.plist maxCameraWidthRecordingScreen -int 1920$ defaults write com.techsmith.camtasia2.plist maxCameraWidthNotRecordingScreen -int 1920
This should be done when Camtasia is not running.

NOTE regarding the Camtasia Application:
If you are running the non App Store build, the plist is 
~/Library/Preferences/com.techsmith.camtasia2.plist  .  

If you are running an App Store build, it is ~/Library/Containers/com.techsmith.camtasia2/Data/Library/Preferences/com.techsmith.camtasia2.plist .

bindkey -s "^[Ok" “+”
# NOTE-- The ^M below was added by the following key combinations: Ctrl-V, then pressing Enter
bindkey -s "^[OM" "^M”
