I ran into an issue last night while recording a screencast of Visual Studio 2010.  Basically, Camtasia was not recording the menus when I selected them.  You could see me move and click my cursor, but the pop-up menus were not being displayed.

Mike @ TechSmith support provided me with the solution:

In Camtasia Recorder:

1. Select Effects, Options.
2. Click the Cursor tab.
3. Uncheck the box for Make cursor effects editable in Camtasia Studio.
4. Click OK to save your options.

1. Next, select Tools, Options.
2. Click the General tab
3. Make sure that Capture layered windows is checked.
4. Click OK to save any changes.

That should take care of the problem.

Note: when you make this change, it “freezes� the cursor so you can’t use cursor effects inside of Camtasia Studio.

Also, we noticed that setting the Zoom feature of the editing window to 150% makes your code extremely readable on playback:
