Chipmunk Audio Fix

If you’ve been watching any videos lately where you start hearing chipmunk sounds — it’s not your fault! Don’t touch that dial!

If you make videos with Camtasia prior to version 5.02 (as an SWF file with MP3 audio for online use), this is a MUST read.

What’s happening is that Adobe’s Flash Player and Techsmith’s Camtasia are having a spot of trouble … which is affecting videos made with Camtasia.

Fixing it solves two problems:

  1. Your site visitors are no longer thinking something is wrong with their browser, video or audio setup — so they can focus on the content and what you want them to do; and
  2. You stop sounding like a chipmunk!

Techsmith list the issue on this tech support page and how to fix it. Credit to Robert Plank’s blog post where I was first alerted to the issue.
