If you're using Camtasia 5, it'll look different. In any case, it shouldn't matter because the recording size is determined by Flash Media Live Encoder.

im using camtasia 5 .0.2 and FLME 3

I have the zoom-fail problem. in my livestream studio page under the SOURCES >> CAMERA field there is only one camera and the source is camstudio capture device. i read about that rage mentioned having a second camera from the external source.. how do i do that. thanks in advance

Sometimes when I use Camtasia it changes my viewing size to half of its original size for no reason? The settings still say 640x480 but the box is only 320x240 in size.

It does that. Just let adobe FMLE fix the size cuz that's the one that matters

????? i would love to let FMLE fix the size. the problem is that it doesnt. consult the image above... why does the livestream only show the middle box portion of the 640x480 and not the whole 640x480 which is clearly displayed in the FMLE's output viewfinder?

?????? I wasn't even responding to you lol. Clearly you are using webcaster instead of Camtasia.

didnt mean to be snide. i am using camtasia, FMLE, and webcaster. did i miss something?
camtasia records my screen while FMLE encodes it for live streaming (which is turned on with the webcaster)?
been messing with it for about 10 hours and cant figure it out. im sure it's simple oversight but as things like this can be frustrating, i am frustrated. when i watch the "sample.flv" that the encoder produces.. it is in 640x480 but on my stream channel it only shows the inner box of that 640x480 window. i am lead to believe that problem thus lies in camtasia or livestream. alas, i have messed with the camtasia settings. so i think it it in my livestream studio settings. in my sources box, i can only get one camera. that camera's video source is "camtasia video studio capture device" and there is no option to select an "external source"

you don't need webcaster at all. just camtasia for screen capture while FMLE encodes and streams, which happens after you filled out the rtmp address correctly and press the start button in FMLE. what i do is start recording with camtasia before opening FMLE, and then open FMLE and set the input size to 640x480 which should change camtasia's size as well.

ok, i figured out how to turn on the stream using only camtasia and the encoder. but the zoom in problem remains. must be a settings issue?

+ Show Spoiler [image] +

as i see this picture. camtasia records in 640x480, the encoder is receiving and outputing a 640x480 image, but the livestream studio is receiving and broadcasting only the inner, distorted dimensions of the camtasia recorder/viewfinder...

FMLE kicks the stream to into live mode because of the AutoLive=true at the end of the URL.

so yeah avoid the studio since there really is no use unless you want to transition some clips during streaming.

No need for Studio at all to be honest. If you wanna chat, hop on Procaster or Webcaster to chat. This goes for anyone streaming to be honest. I see people in Studio all the time on stream when they really don't need to be.

Yeah should add an EXIT THE STUDIO guideline after getting rid of the ticker and optimizing the studio because a lot of people are having the 320x240 problem due to being inside the studio.

I was trying to start my stream today and everything worked fine until I started starcraft. First camtasia studios closed down, I tried again and same thing happened. Third time it was starcraft that crashed. Anyone know why this is happening? It never happened before.

--------------------------------------------------------

Nvm I got it to work somehow by restarting the livestream webpage. I think that is what caused the problems, not camtasia.
