Commercial Product Info Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very happy occasional user" April 22, 2024 4.0 Very good -- easy to ramp up, easy to learn. Pros \- I do not need to be a professional video editor - I can jump in 'cold', even if I have no use d the tool in many months - It's easy to create good quality videos. - It's stored on my machine, not in the cloud, so I can even use older versions Cons \- license model is getting more expensive Review Source TA THOMAS A. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Making Videos of Academic Powerpoint Presentations" April 22, 2024 5.0 Excellent -- I first used this to capture and render as video many medical presentations created in the University of Kentucky's Dept. of Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine. Later I found Camtasia very helpful in preserving, updating, and sharing my own academic/scholarly presentations; many of these from years ago were in old Powerpoint formats, which I showed at academic meetings. Pros I love the ease of capturing AND then modifying or enhancing my old academic or scholarly Powerpoint presentation. Once I create them in Camtasia, they are easy to share on YouTube or Vimeo or in other ways, allowing some of my older but still significant or important work to be preserved and shared! Cons Initial learning curve was significant, but that's true of all powerful video capture and editing platforms I have used. Review Source AI Ariane I. Vendedora Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Avaliação Camtasia" October 10, 2023 5.0 A experiência é ótima, pois o Camtasia é de fácil utilização e o resultado final dos vídeos sempre é muito bom. Pros Os recursos mais impactantes do Camtasia são: fácil utilização, ótimo para a criação de tutoriais em vídeo (conseguimos inserir áudio narrado e também possui ótimas ferramentas de edição). Cons Até o momento não senti falta ou recursos que podem ser melhorados. Alternatives considered [OBS Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/164144/OBS/) Reason for choosing Camtasia Porque a utilização do Camtasia é mais simples.

Pros Screen recording, separating audio and video along with smart editing are the most liked features of this software. Cons It has Camtasia watermark on using trial version of this software. Review Source JH Jon H. Content Designer Public Safety Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jon Hegidio review" April 25, 2024 4.0 Pros Ease of use and being able to use Capture to sync with mobile devices. Cons There is nothing that really stands out that I don't like about this product. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) For the type of editing I'm doing I don't need a lot of bells and whistles from more robust video editing software. Review Source SV Shane V. Associate Professor E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Camtasia for E-Learning" April 25, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to record and edit. Great value for the price. Cons Audio editing is good for my purposes, but the ability to remove background noise could be improved. Review Source MN Michael N. ELearning Developer E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effective and easy" April 16, 2024 5.0 I've used Cam for years and have upgraded to newer versions often. I love it! Pros Easy to pick up and produce good quality videos. As you progress, it's easy to improve and better utilise the many features. It's very cheap for what it can do. The user interface is intuitive, which cannot be said of other video editing software I've used. Cons It has lots of built-in features, making it ideal for beginners, but sometimes I want to customise more than it will allow. Review Source JS John S. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Camtasia: Powerful and relatively easy to use." April 22, 2024 5.0 Overall, it's a great product. One has to take the time to learn some of the features, but it fulfills almost all professional and personal needs. Pros It's great for editing existing videos or creating new ones. The timeline, once you get used to it, is simple and powerful. Cons Adding text to videos could be a lot easier. It takes quite a bit of time to figure out, especially if you're a non-training-video watcher. The encoding speed for the exported videos could use a boost. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) Easier to use, less clunky. Creative Cloud updates were annoying. Review Source Juan M. Autónomo Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Programa completo para grabar y editar vídeos" November 14, 2022 5.0 Pros La sencillez y facilidad de uso hace de este software accesible a cualquier tipo de persona que necesite grabar y editar vídeos. Dispone de todas las funciones necesarias para crear vídeos de altísima calidad, tanto para uso personal como para publicar en plataformas como Youtube, Vimeo o exportar al ordenador Cons Se necesita un buen ordenador para que el flujo de trabajo sea bueno y no se ralentice, se quede colgado o vaya a tirones, sobre todo con vídeos en alta resolución o muy largos.

Goods and Services Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Camtasia Review " June 20, 2023 4.0 Pros Camtasia is one of my video editing software, which I use to edit my YouTube videos, Instagram videos and many more. Cons Price of the software is too expensive compared to other video editing software options available in the market. Review Source VS Vandana S. General Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very easy to use, good quality outputs and flexible feature set" August 28, 2023 5.0 I had a great experience using the Camtasia. It is one of the best and useful tool I had used in a long time. Pros It was very easy to learn and use and in few hours I was working like a pro. I could record screen and do voice-over and also set different screen sizes. I could also edit not wanted sections with ease and without much training. I could create multiple projects to separate multiple tasks. Cons I do not like the cost but it is justified looking at the options available and quality of output generated, Review Source Luis C. Student Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best way to start in video editing. " June 23, 2021 3.0 My experience with Camtasia has been really good so far, the app keeps expanding itself and every day I learn new stuff. Pros Camtasia is a really good program to start in the world of video editing and for the new ones this application has really good tools to expand your videos. Cons Camtasia could improve the way how the software, in the most complicated levels, explains itself and how all the tools are used. Review Source AC Angie C. Business Development Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic for recording demo videos" August 21, 2022 5.0 Camtasia has made recording demos exceptionally easy for anyone. Pros Camtasia is extremely easy to get started with. The trial version is fully featured and time-limited. You have 30 days to try out the software. I wanted to record a demo which was fairly complicated and involved lots of different windows. After installing Camtasia, simply load up the software, arrange what you want to record, then press the record button. You can set an area for recording which is helpful when dealing with large displays. After finishing the recording, you can then spend the majority of your time editing the video. Camtasia is not as fully featured as Adobe Premiere, but for this use case it really doesn't need to be. Being able to splice video, add various effects (like speed up), and add audio is sufficient enough. I haven't looked into the more advanced features yet as the basic features are good enough for my needs. Lastly Camtasia enables you to export video in multiple formats and finely tune the size based on the video / audio quality. Cons The only gripe I have is that the yearly plan is somewhat pricey for me at $299 per user per year. However they do offer a free upgrade to the next version. And the renewal fee is reasonable at $50. Overall the ease of use is worth the license cost.

Is great for who is looking for Screen recording. And have a very great quality for video. Cons It could have more features, it just to simple. Is very simple program and is a little poor on what you could with your effects. Review Source leonardo M. Microsoft Office Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Interesante editor" December 23, 2022 3.0 Ha sido genial la hemos utilizado cuándo necesitábamos capturar pantalla y además editar los videos aunque ha sido un poco complicado con nuestra memoria RAM. Pros Un gran editor de videos muy completo captura de pantalla captura de audio y un gran editor con mezcladores. Cons Creo que es bastante pesado para las tarjetas de memoria, hay persona que no tienen tanta ram en su computadora. Debería ser un software para poder utilizar hay muchísimas máquinas. Reason for choosing Camtasia Lo hemos elegido como sistema de prueba. Review Source rT rachid T. RIB Art Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "camtasia its good for editing and screen recording" February 6, 2023 5.0 it was a good experience i use it for editing and screen recording Pros i did like the screen recording and the easily way to edit videos. Cons i did like lest that theresn't much effects in this software Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Video Editor Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Record and edit simple training videos" April 28, 2022 4.0 I believe it's a must-have if you are looking into a reliable software to capture your screen. It has some great features to minimize the post-editing, meaning you can use it to simplify your work when creating a series of training videos. Pros It's very easy to use and it helps you configure to your needs through assistant wizards. The result is very good, it does a nice compression on the files. The editing features are surprisingly good for a software to capture your screen and allows to create interactive and really great videos with some work. Cons As an editor, it might be too simple to do more advanced and customized things. Reason for choosing Camtasia Easy, simple and effective. Switched from [Fraps](https://www.capterra.com/p/229170/Fraps/) Was looking for a more reliable and simple way to capture my screen. Review Source GC Grant C. Instructional Designer Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good upgrade with room for more" July 17, 2023 4.0 Overall, I'm happy with it and you will be, too. Pros I needed this software for my new job as an instructional designer and I'm glad I made the investment. Previous I was using Techsmith Screenflow – while it's a good tool, it's only for Macs and doesn't work well for collaboration. This is easy to learn, feature-rich, and with enough tools for decent audio edting and treatment (and that's coming from a voiceover specialist). I love the certification courses and the community of support and webinars is fantastic. Cons Some of the Windows features aren't available for Macs, such as better support for captions (including .srt files). I would also appreciate having more advanced color correction, but I know that's a nice-to-have and not a need-to-have. And finally, why isn't there an iOS app version? Reason for choosing Camtasia Made the most sense in terms of work efficiency and features. (Screen capture and editing of slides is crucial.) Review Source ŠŠ Štefan Š. Data Scientist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feedback - Stefan" April 16, 2024 4.0 Relatively good. I liked it more, than other tools. Pros Easy to use and full-featured video editor. It is full package for creating learning videos. I especially liked the ability to export full HTML page with video player, that can be hosted easily on any webserver and it works great. Cons Insufficient video export setting - missing mostly HEVC in constant quality (automatic 2-pass) Lower quality of MacOS version of Camtasia. Should be on par with Windows version. Review Source TC Thomas C. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Critical Look At Camtasia As A Bonafide Business Tool" October 21, 2022 5.0 Overall, once someone begins to master the software to some extent, it is a nice piece of software that allows for some great things to happen when making or modifying a video. Pros It is a professional-grade tool that has been recently enhanced. Cons It is not as easy to learn and use as some of the lighter pieces of software and does lack some versatility. Reason for choosing Camtasia I use Camtasia alongside other products for a more robust capability. Review Source Gustavo Simões B. Customer Success Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very good and quick to edit screen recordings" July 27, 2021 5.0 Very good, also the online courses were very helpful Pros I like the flexibility to edit timelines and the intuitive interface, especially the keyboard shortcuts Cons Have more options of templates in the gallery Reason for choosing Camtasia It was the most recommended when I needed it Review Source AY Andres Y. Programmer Analyst Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use to work well now capturing meetings is bad." April 28, 2024 3.0 I don't think I'll renew next year unless major support for video/meeting capture is done. Pros Editing software works well. The easy of editing a clip is fairly simple. Cons Previous version of camtasia recording were fine. Latest version have issues with sound quality matching the video Review Source GT Gordon T. Owner Graphic Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Camtasia 2024 is a high quality product." March 9, 2024 5.0 I am happy with Camtasia and have used their products for many years. Pros Camtasia is fairly easy to use, with practice and plenty of tutorials online. Cons A bit more pricey than other software but does a lot for the video or social media editor or producer.
