DreamWorks Demo Reel, Troubleshooting Camtasia

Editing continues, with the new clips of Dan Knowlton's work being added in. Addition of a soundtrack is still on hold pending finalization of the visuals. At this point the new clips do not have titles, but research will be made towards titling them appropriately.

Overall it seems that Camtasia (or at least its trial version) fails to import media properly unless it is in a select few (.wmv, .mov) formats. Further troubleshooting is necessary; I doubt this limited usability is by design. Camtasia continues to seem unstable as a program, where the slowly degenerating functionality can be restored by restarting the program.

My optimistic assumption is that this is due to my using of a trial version, or due to the limitations of this PC running a large project through 32-bit emulation with other programs running in the background; however, there is no indication that the PC is limiting Camtasia's capabilities. In any case, having these unstable trial-version experiences is unimpressive.
