Make Videos 40% Faster

Do you want to save time in the editing chair? Who wouldn’t?

A lot of our video editing time is spent tidying things up. Getting rid of “ums,” “ahs,” and little pauses can feel tedious and time-consuming.

But there is a better way – using Audiate. Rather than editing with waveforms in Camtasia, you can use Audiate’s handy text-based editor to clean up your videos much faster.

In fact, we recently put Audiate to the test and found that it could save up to 40% extra time while editing!

Hear all about it in this episode of The Visual Lounge. From our brand new studio, Matt Pierce speaks with Joe Dearman, Sr. User Experience Designer, and Erin Cloutier, User Experience Researcher at TechSmith. We take a closer look at our research, how we tested Audiate, and we also get a practical demo of Audiate at work.
