Camtasia Studio – Black Box Mouse Cursor on Playback of .camproj File

under Technology

Symptom:

When you double-click a .camproj file and play it in Camtasia Studio, the mouse cursor is a black box.

Resolution:

If your display settings are in 16-bit color mode, change them to 32-bit color.

Windows XP: Right-click the desktop and hit Properties, go to the Settings tab. Under “Color quality”, change the drop-down from “Medium (16 bit)” to “Highest (32 bit)”.
Windows 7: Right-click the desktop and hit Screen Resolution, then Advanced settings, and click the List All Modes button. Choose the one with the same resolution as your current screen resolution but with “True Color (32 bit)”.

    Thank you Richard

  2. Kaitlyn Brannen Said,

    Hi, this is exactly what we’re experiencing. I appreciate the resolution but I’m wondering if the steps you describe need to be done before you press record, or if its for the editing process. thank you!

    Hi Kaitlyn,

    I believe these steps need to be done before recording.

Sorry for the mess! I recently got hacked and lost my previous theme, so I'm working on reconstructing that. In the meantime, this theme is messy/broken but at least you can read my posts. Sorry!!

Hi, I'm Richard Carter! I use this blog to document particularly difficult-to-solve computer problems. My posts are written for clarity and keywords for search engines to pick up on, so that the next person that runs into the same problem will easily find my solution here and have an easier time than I had! I'm forging a path through the brush, so to speak. So if you came here by search engine, I guess it worked! Enjoy the solution to your problem.
