I started using Camtasia in the early 20 teens. It was a struggle because I was new to learning tools like this. I have used others, but remained with Camtasia. When updated versions came out they did not interrupt my ability to work or cause problems as updates can sometimes do. The tutorials make learning easy as they are clear and concise. And there are many of them!

Pros

Ease of use always!!! Even if I don’t use it for awhile when I return to using it there’s no huge learning barrier to become reacquainted.

Second would be price. It was not cost prohibitive like some others.

Cons

I don’t have anything. There are no dislikes from me.

If You're Serious About Video You Need To Get Camtasia

I've been using Camtasia for years and while I have looked at other systems, I always come back to Camtasia because it remains constant, even when the latest versions are released.

Pros

The best thing I like about Camtasia is that it always stays up to date with video creation trends, so that you can always create relevant videos.

Cons

If there's a failing, it's simply the learning curve. But really, that's not a failing. It's only because there are so many cool features that it can take a while before you get into the swing of video creation. Once learnt though, it becomes a breeze.

I am only somewhat pleased with this product. The platform is good but the functionality is lacking greatly. Lots of bugs in the system that need repaired for it to work to the level of cost. Must say i am disappointed.

Pros

The ease of pulling in and adding content for creation. Its not hard to use and tutorials help if needed.

Cons

Lag time during creation. This software has horrible lag when moving videos into the creation bar and when you try to use playback to edit. This creates frustration during editing as it takes much longer to create your content. I feel for the price of this product this bug should have been resolved by now. Also the list of additional content has been reduced greatly in the 2023 version.

Technical Support is an Issue at Techsmith

Reviewed on 25/10/2024

I enjoy using the product on my PC. Transferring projects from one PC to another is very difficult.

I enjoy using the product on my PC. Transferring projects from one PC to another is very difficult.

Pros

Can produce videos on your PC. Easy to import audio and video files.

Cons

Poor technical support. Software is not backward compatible. Projects created in versions before 2020 (*.camproj) will not open with newer versions. The technical support group is not there on Fridays and the telephone hotline doesn't work. If you buy a Techsmith product, you will need to figure it out on your own.

I've made demo videos of software in under a day with Camtasia. Editing them and adding callouts is a breeze.

Pros

It's optimized for creating videos in which screen recordings of software usage predominate.

Cons

Little things, like the inability to reverse a clip (i.e. play it backwards on the timeline). The ability to export the audio to an external program, edit it there, then bring it back in, would be amazing too.
