How to animate arrows for a flowchart in Camtasia | Simple Camtasia Arrow Tutorial

If you want to animate arrows for a flowchart or other diagram or tutorial, there are a few ways you can do it in Camtasia, using animations or using behaviours or simple transitions. It depends on how fancy you want to get. Camtasia offers a few ways of revealing and removing assets on the screen using different methods - behaviours, for example, are not just for revealing text, you can also use them for objects.

There are a few arrows in Techsmith Camtasia you can use in the Annotations section. Most of them have text on them but you can delete the text and use them as simple arrow graphics. You can apply a transition, like a wipe to it to reveal it in an interesting way.

Also, you can use the more complicated process of revealing the arrow using media matte, with alpha. Cover the arrow and reveal it using your own custom animation. This will give you the most flexibility but it could be more time-consuming, depending on how many arrows you need in your project.
