Batch Export (Mac) – This is a really great addition if you’re creating dozens of videos as we do in production on online courses.

This feature allows you to create a similar effect in Camtasia where you could add a logo like the Chapel bug and make the video feel that much more professional.

Add Logos to Themes – At Duke, we have a video branding package that allows to easily add branded lower-thirds to videos in FCPX and Premiere.

(For super power users, they’ve also added some Macbook Pro Touch Bar support, allowing you to scrub through the timeline, split clips, and jump between edits).

Custom Keyboard – TechSmith added 10x the amount of keyboard shortcuts, so power users can now set their own shortcuts for things like zooming, adding annotations, muting audio, adding custom animations etc.

Cursor Smoothing – I’m not sure who was complaining that their cursor was moving too much on screen but this effect will algorithmically remove cursor shakiness and replace it with smooth movements based on where you click and leave the cursor on the screen.

If you’re recording with a consistent, professional setup, this feature probably won’t add much value to you. This feature is mainly aimed at users who are recording in multiple places, and possibly with different microphone inputs. This will not normalize the audio within various media, so loud and soft parts will stay the same relative to each other in the same clip.

Basically, you set a project to autolevel all the various audio media in your project to the same target (-18 LUFS – this can’t be adjusted now but may be add in a future release).

Audio Leveling – this seems to be the marquee feature, or at least the first listed in TechSmith’s marketing.

My thoughts on my experience testing the new features:
