Camtasia Reviews

Well, I started the use of Camtasia about ten years ago and I was astonished how easy was to learn the use of. Besides, upon a few clicks anything were set just out of the box and I could create my first course about video-editing. It's a great software to create a video from a high quality screen capture.

The price it's the mayor con! If you can afford it and the updates then the cost value the quality. The second con is that you need a lot of memory to get a smooth work. If do you have 32 GB RAM can work fine without problem. No other con from my experience.

Camtasia makes it incredibly easy to record my screen and webcam simultaneously, and the built-in editing tools are powerful enough to create professional-looking videos without any complexity.

The rendering process can be a bit slow, especially for longer videos with high resolutions.

I like Premiere, but it's just too much mojo for the average project and the more intuitive user.

I don't have any complaints, honestly. Just wish I could get a list of best peripherals to use to set up my home studio. I do a lot of trial and error.

It was pretty easy to learn and could do the basics with no problem.

The additions of Proxy and other editing features made it cumbersome to get the normal editing completed that 2022 had.

Camtasia is easy to use and gives me what I need. Easy to make screen capture videos, edit and publish.

None - I don't need anything else. It is perfect the way it is.

I like that it can show which keys your using and you can give different effects to your mouse. Great for making tutorials!

It's quite expensive now that there are so many alternatives. I love loom for example, however Camtasia has a lot more options.

Ease of use and being able to use Capture to sync with mobile devices.

There is nothing that really stands out that I don't like about this product.

It's great for editing existing videos or creating new ones. The timeline, once you get used to it, is simple and powerful.

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.

Camtasia has been improving a lot over the years and is still offered at a reasonable price. For me, this is a very good mark of quality in a company. I want to be able to trust and rely on a company when I invest time and money to learn their product and get comfortable with. Camtasia is a company that offers me that.
Some online tools might have become more intuitive and easy to use but they don't offer reliable technical support and other services so critical to my work. I like working with Camtasia and I trust the product.

A few years ago, the software was not so stable and was crashing on a regular basis. This very rarely happens now and I never loose anything. So again, they have invested effort in improvement and they listen to their customers' needs.

Very easy to understand how to record and edit basic videos.

The audio recording is terrible, I don't like how the license is tied in with a version so in order to collaborate across teams, everyone has to be on identical versions, I also don't love having to edit an old Camtasia project as a project file has a ton of directories associated and can get corrupted very easily.

Camtasia is an easy, user friendly, quick editor for screen recording and editing. I can assign projects to my team and they can put together a video fairly well with little to no video editing experience.

Lack of options. I would love to see more options in transitions, animations, audio, titles, etc.

Being able to separate screen, mouse, and voiceover.

Extremely poor editing software. No way to play at 2x speed, program runs insanely slow, worse than After Effects, and each project gets worse the more edits you make. No way to do rolling edits, or select future clips easily. Sets-up projects at the incorrect aspect ratio by default, and then when you notice that further in your project, it's a pain in the butt to fix on each individual edit.

- 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

- license model is getting more expensive

Easy to record and edit. Great value for the price.

Audio editing is good for my purposes, but the ability to remove background noise could be improved.

The excellent ‘how to’ videos make the program easy to learn and use.

There are so many features that I haven’t taken advantage of
