Camtasia is good for video capture, but its gif creation abilities will leave a bit to be desired, this would be an alternate output for it, and not what it was really designed for. I would save the video capped by Camtasia (in avi format) and then use another application to edit the avi, clean up/crop what you want and then save as GIF (hoping such a utility would have an optimizer). An optimizer will take out duplicated data. For example each frame of your animation may have the sky, the moon, the mountain behind, etc. But these items dont change, why have them in each frame? An optimizer would remove parts of frame that were redundant smoothing out the animation, and making the final file smaller.
