From tech support to transferring Camtasia to computer to new computer. Of course, the video editing software is the best. Pros When I first started using Camtasia, years ago, I probably didn't need such a sophisticated video editing platform. But now, I wouldn't do without it. It is so quick and comprehensive. My videos render in seconds. Cons I don't love the price. I do update to the latest versions every once in a while and that has additional cost to it. But I love Camtasia and it is worth the price. Review Source MR Mirza R. Research Assistant Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "More than just a screen recording software" June 20, 2021 5.0 Camtasia has made it easy to screen record, edit and upload videos all in one place. The ease of is really great. This is a one stop do it all type of software. You can add your own videos in addition to you screen recording too. The end quality of the product delivered by Camtasia is worth investing in it. If you're on the fence about it and need a push to get it, I definitely recommend it. Pros Camtasia is really easy to use even for beginners. There are lot of tutorials available on the Camtasia website to get started on the software. There are inbuilt video editing features or drop downs that make video editing a breeze. The screen capture feature is amazing and trouble free. All you need is a microphone and a screen to get started. Various pre-built animations can be added into your video to quicken the editing process. Video export options are also available to save videos in the desired format. Cons There is a very small learning curve that new users might find annoying at first but its ease of use becomes natural after a while. There are so many features available that you might get lost in it. Review Source AV Anthony V.

I'm a customer for several years already and it is one of the products that I use with pleasure everytime. Pros Camtasia is easy to use, you're up and running in 15 minutes even without any prior video editing knowledge. Cons Working with projects is a bit challenging in the beginning, but Techsmith provides very clear supportive materials. Reason for choosing Camtasia I chose Camtasia because they have a full suite of products, the trial worked excellent and I so much enjoyed working with Camtasia that I never looked at the competition anymore. Review Source TC Thomas C. Exc. Dir. OCM Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, Easy, Effective" April 22, 2024 5.0 It allowed me to do what was needed right "out of the box" and yet has the functionality for me to grow in the tool and exploit its features. Pros Camtasia is the perfect tool for those who need to make high-quality videos, yet are not video production/editors by trade. Ramp-up is quick and production is straightforward allowing you to go from install to satisfied product in short order. Cons The layering of tracks can get confusing if you are working on a big project or one that has a lot of data/content. Reason for choosing Camtasia The on-line tools were too limiting and you needed WIFI access to use. Review Source EM Evelyn M. Director, Training & Talent Management Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Video Editing Tool!" July 18, 2023 4.0 I've used Camtasia for years, and it has always been a reliable companion for our L&D group. The product is affordable and delivers exactly what we need to keep our staff up-to-date on changes. Using the templates and favorites, we are able to deliver branded material easily and efficiently. Pros What I like most about Camtasia is the ease of use. The layout and features are pretty intuitive: making video creation one of the less stressful tasks within the group. Cons What I like least are the choices for creating engaging videos. As the experts in video creation, I feel there should be more options to create captivating videos. This is where more technical experience is needed. Reason for choosing Camtasia The layout was more intuitive and easier to onboard new team members with.

Ho molto apprezzato l'ampia e completa sezione video tutorial presente sul sito techsmith.com, che permette di acquisire competenze avanzate. Pros Ho iniziato ad usare Camtasia senza aver mai fatto editing video professionale, con un background da grafico web. Devo dire che l'organizzazione dell'interfaccia che permette di registrare lo schermo ed editare i contenuti è molto semplice e intuitiva, con funzionalità analoghe ad altri software di grafica e fotoritocco. Ho trovato molto evidente la modalità di registrazione dello schermo, e l'editing del video, per la maggior parte 'drag and drop'. Ho molto apprezzato la possibilità di catturare tutto ciò che accade sullo schermo del PC, compreso il mouse: il movimento di quest'ultimo può essere modificato in fase di editing conferendo al video un aspetto davvero professionale. Cons Durante l'utilizzo di Camtasia 2020 ho riscontrato dei punti deboli, che sono sono stati corretti con la versione 2021: non è possibile salvare in rete le risorse media (difetto risolto con un maggior controllo e personalizzazione delle risorse remote); gestione difficoltosa dei gruppi di elementi (anche questo aspetto è stato migliorato nella versione 2021). Ho inoltre notato che è preferibile utilizzare un secondo monitor per scollegare il canvas dalla timeline e agire su entrambe con maggior facilità. Alcune parti dell'interfaccia non sono molto efficaci, e avrei preferito un numero maggiore di shortcut. Review Source DC David C. Freelancer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Barely functional program with useless support" April 27, 2023 1.0 Terrible. It's glitchy, updates ruin projects and force remakes or reshoots. Tech support is standoffish and difficult, and the dev team seemingly has no interest in taking user feedback. Pros It's relatively simple so you can figure out the basics pretty quick.Try doing ANYTHING more than cutting a clip together though... Cons Technical Support and User Experience. Every update ruins SOMETHING about the program and it takes weeks or even months to get it fixed. The latest version deleted entire asset libraries that I've been using for 5+ years, and most interactions with the support team leave me more frustrated than when I started. They even insulted me and said I couldn't read once. Reason for choosing Camtasia No choice. Employer demands it. I would have left years ago if I could. It's literal torture.

Marketing Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I LOVE and Enjoy using Camtasia for video and audio projects " December 9, 2022 5.0 If I wasn't doing weekly work with video editing, I'm not sure the cost of this would be worth it. Because I am using it several times a week, it has been worth the price. I have seen and used some cheaper options like Movavi, but I end up coming back to Camtasia. With the added MP3 and media available, I find it great to use and I'll keep paying for it as long as I'm needing to edit videos. I work primarily off my laptop and Camtasia is just what I need. Pros I like how easy it is to enhance and existing video, as well as how easy it is to separate audio and video when I want to make an MP3 out of an old video. Cons I wish there were better features for enhancing old, SD video as well as audio enhancements that kept me from having to use something like audacity. Review Source AR Abdur R. Lead Animator E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Has a learning curve, Mastering takes time. " April 25, 2023 4.0 Pros it compresses the files in very short file sizes. sometimes i would use this for only this purpose. Cons Animation and customization is time consuming. Switched from [Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/) Interface is similar to camtasia but did not take much time to customize as i wanted. Review Source César C. Computer engineer Computer Hardware Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best editor to start in the world of editing" May 19, 2022 4.0 My experience with Camtasia has been satisfactory, it was the first video editor I used and it never let me down. Many other programs are better for video editing, but none will be as easy as Camtasia, plus it doesn't take much time to learn and you don't need to have high specs on your PC to use it. It is a highly recommended video editor. Pros Camtasia is a good video editor and a great screen and audio capturer, it does what you ask and what you need, and the tools it gives you to work on a video are just and necessary, but very well worked. The screenshot is good, it doesn't need a lot of space and you have different qualities to choose from. It is a very easy-to-use program, with a fairly simple interface; is the video editor that I would recommend if you want to start editing videos. Cons It doesn't have many professional tools like animation handling, also the image and audio tools are very limited. The Mac version does not work well as many tools are not compatible or adapted differently from the Windows version. Review Source GM Gianmarco M.

Pros Di Camtasia mi piace la semplicità d'uso, essendo un software essenziale, senza tanti fronzoli, ma allo stesso tempo stabile ed efficiente. Cons Mi è piaciuta di meno la disponibilità di modelli compresi nel prezzo. Switched from [Final Cut Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233399/Final-Cut-Pro/) Final cut troppo complicato, Camtasia molto più leggero e maneggevole. Review Source VE Vincent E. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### " Not worth it. Use CapCut Instead " April 16, 2024 2.0 Early on it worked great, now it is too buggy to use, my subscription goes for 5 more months but I refuse to use it and I will let it expire. Pros Audio mixing is the only good feature compaire dto other similar products. Cons Slow, expensive and very buggy. Too many updates and patches. Review Source PK Paul K. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect for Screen Recording" April 22, 2024 5.0 Overall it's been a very easy to use piece of software that meets the needs I bought it for. Pros It just works for capturing screen recordings and custom zones. I also love that I can select to record the system audio if I want to also capture that. Cons Having to install plugins or other things to record system audio on my Mac. Reason for choosing Camtasia I've been using it for years and it was just super easy to transition to newer versions. Review Source Ismaël Huberson C. founder Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Camtasia" November 19, 2022 5.0 like that it has templates you can use already to make the videos look uniform. Pros I'm not a big fan of screen recorders but when I was using Camtasia, I was really impressed by how easy it was to use. I just had to press a hotkey and it would start recording my screen and I would be able to add video and audio over it. It's also really easy to change the video format, add text and effects. If you need a good video editor, I highly recommend Camtasia. Cons The price is a bit expensive but it is an excellent software. Review Source Ariyan T.

The rendering file of this software is small but the video quality is very good. that's why it's my favourite software. Cons There are no special effect and fx tools. after saving the video file, that folder contains too many files.and also one thing is, you can't make any high quality petty or slide video with this.

With its pre-built templates you can turn your ideas into engaging video and thus increase motivation among your students. In addition to its rich library, you can record your screen the feature that many other rivals don't offer. Pros At a low price, you can transform your ideas into impactful videos that you will certainly generates leads, increase sales and particularly inspire your audiance. Camtasia is ideal for education and training industry for it has all you need at your fingertips like pre-built templates, clips and stunning scenes. It is best known for recording your screen, but it offers the possibility to upload video and edit them easily. It doesn't need pre-knowledge thanks to its basic dashboard. Cons Actually, I cannot blame TechSmith for these missing features, but I found Camtasia somehow expensive. To set up Camtasia, there are some system requirements otherwise there will be some blemishes.

Marketing manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A fast and easy to start way to edit videos" March 24, 2022 5.0 For small-scale needs it strikes the perfect balance between price & feature set. Pros Someone recommended me this app years back and never switched to any other solution. Camtasia is very easy to pick up and gets the job done for simple and moderately advances tasks (for me a tleast, I;m an amateur). Cons It lacks some advanced animation & tracking features - if heavy editing in modern style (think YouTube clips) is needed, I'd probably look elsewhere. Switched from [OpenShot Video Editor](https://www.capterra.com/p/173466/OpenShot-Video-Editor/) I HATED OpenShot. It constantly froze during rendering nad reversing operations was clunky.

Pros Camtasia is an easy, user friendly, quick editor for screen recording and editing.

If you're looking for something professional there are way better alternatives, some of which are free. Pros Camtasia is relatively easy to use and allows for decent results. It comes with a free trial. Cons Features on the trial version are very limited compared to its competitors, including free ones, and the price for a license is quite high (again, compared to its competitors) Review Source DS Dan S.

I would highly recommend this to other university professors who need to create videos for their students. Pros I needed a product that was relatively easy to use and could produce high quality videos. Camtasia worked great for me. I produce videos for remote-learning students and found this product to be very useful. I am not very "tech-savvy", so found that Camtasia is fairly easy to learn and create. Cons The background colour remover is sometimes hard to use. I find that I have to struggle with it on occasions to remove the background and replace it with my alternative background.
