Reviews of Camtasia
Best choice for rookies and pros.
Comments: I am not a video-editing pro, I use it for recording and putting together webinars and training videos and Camtasia has always been my-go to software for years. It is very easy to start using it if you don't know anything about video editing but a miriad of additional featureas and options will make it easy. Due to its nature it might work slower on waker machines so it may take time between you click on record and it starts recording but you will always know when it does so there is no chance of recording or cutting your recording earlier. Editing is quite easy although applying smooth transitions between cuts with some efects takes some practice.
Pros:
Ease of use but losts of advanced settings for more experienced users. Can caputer the screen and your camera/audio at the same time. Lots of customizations, including capturing a piece of screen, video effects (e.g. blurring sensitive data) as well as easy editing. Great effect with little effort.
Cons:
It needs lots of resources on the machine, even for a video editing software. Additionally, rendering will take some time on a regular laptop. Some options, such as the library I found unintuitive to use.
A GREAT, quicker, Easier to learn alternative for "Almost pro-level" video creation
Comments: I would give it a 95 out of 100. I have very few complaints. I have created some really great looking videos that the average person would not be able to tell if this were done in a program that cost thousands more.
Pros:
Easy to get in and do screen captures and video editing. A growing library of cool animations, templates, and effects that they continually add to. Quick tools that are easy to learn to do a lot of effects that are dangerously close to pro platforms like adobe and final cut, only without the massive rendering time etc.
Cons:
Some of the effects are a little cheap looking, but the library of options continues to grow. Sometimes the crashes and bugs are annoying, but I've seen that in the big programs as well. ESPECIALLY FINAL CUT PRO
Camtasia - the best screen recording software on the planet.
Comments: I have used for years and years. Love it. When I used to build software simulations, I would do the filming with Camtasia, even though I used high-end software like Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate. It was easier and I could import into the other software.
Pros:
Ease of use, layout, segmentation of video capture and editing into bite size chunks, tons of resources. I've been a user for over twenty years.
Cons:
Sometimes there are too many features, it can be overwhelming. Although they're working on fixing that with simpler workflows built-in.
Using Camtasia on new fast hardware
Comments: It does what it says on the tin and whilst the UX is terrible on a new computer with hi-res screen it's still the software of choice for me until I find something better... or they address the hi-res issues and make me stay forever ;-)
Pros:
It's the only tool I've tried that is easy to use and has all the features I'm ever likely to need.
Cons:
Since moving to a faster computer I also have a Hi-Res screen. It's very disappointing that Camtasia has not been updated to support hi-res screens and user experience was better for me on the old computer even if it was slow.
Alternatives Considered:
Good software for beginners
Comments: Overall I like the software and I think it's a good value for a beginner/semi professional
Pros:
The software is really easy to use with drag and drop, easy sliders, ...
Cons:
The software lakes of functionnalities compared to software like Da Vinci Resolve or Premiere Pro (Tracking, rotobrush, ...)
