title:Camtasia lock up work around. keywords:windows,xp,clip,sound,ini,file description:Prevent Camtasia from hanging with large presentations. From an anonymous user: Here is what I did to "improve" the performance of Camtasia 4. When I used Camtasia 4 at first, for short clips, it was fine. The next project I did, I added more clips and audio, and my machine froze. I had to CTRL-ALT-Delete (to bring up the task manager) and then quit the Camtasia executable under the Processes tab. The TechSmith support guy walked me through this: Under my Program Files\TechSmith\Camtasia4\FilterManager.ini\ Open the ini text file. At the bottom of the screen is the section below. I changed "WhichMethod = 0" to "WhichMethod = 1". When I still had problems (sluggish and poor performance) I changed it to "WhichMethod = 2". I am not sure if it is that much better now, but at least my machine is working again. [Flags] WhichMethod = 2 ; Which method to use for filter management. 0=blacklist, 1=whitelist1, 2=whitelist2 WriteLog = 0 ; 0=No logging, 1=Writes a log at C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Techsmith\Logs\[EXEName].log
