Simple to mid-tier video editing. Pros can try this one too.

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Great! I've used Camtasia in few of my straightforward video editing projects with a client. It's pretty sleek and clean to use. Highly recommended for video learning and vloggers.

Pros:

- Camtasia is more cleaner and more seamless than any other simple video editing software. Though, again, this is not for pro and die-hard video editor.- Simple to use with dedicated learning modules. So, easy to learn.- Capture audio/video and add up voice-over - all-in-one with Camtasia.- Highly recommended for UX Designer during usability testing. This can record screen and audio output/input from test subjects.- YouTube upload is seamless as well.

Cons:

- More often video output are large. And if you lower the size, the quality suffers. I hope Camtasia has fixed or improve on this one.- If you buy this. Though you can have a perpetual ownership of the software - the update maybe not. Currently, it's like $50 per year for the support and updates.- Not for Pro users who are fond of exceptional effects and motion graphics.- You need separate audio mixer and editor for this one. No inbound audio editor and filter.

Camtasia is an excellent program that is suitable for all computers

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: My experience is excellent, but it is not enough when you reach a stage in which you must develop in your work, editing videos and marketing, and the program, as I said, does not contain all of it featuresI recommend it to people who have a small budget at the beginning stage, content creators on YouTube and work in general on the Internet

Pros:

basicValid for all computers, it does not require high specifications to be in a computerSupports all video quality formatsIt has the advantage of publishing a video from Camtasia directly to your YouTube channelLicense paid once per year, not every monthEvery time it evolves

Cons:

It does not have all the featuresAnything that is not in a download program must be downloaded from sourcesIts disadvantage is that it is not possible, for example, for one license to occupy more than one user, only for one user in one licenseThere are no big discounts

Video editing tool

3.0 last week New

Pros:

It is an easy-to-use tool for doing not-too-articulate video editing. I used an older version and certainly the tool has improved over time.

Cons:

Sometimes it is not very easy to understand how to use some functions.

Alternatives Considered:

The best for instructive videos and short creative projects

5.0 4 months ago

Pros:

Camtasia is very easy and intuitive to use. The timeline editor works similar to timeline editors in digital audio workstations (DAWs) which also makes basic audio editing easy to achieve. Callout features such as arrows, shapes, cursor effects and overlays make it easy to call attention to parts of the screen or do news style reporting. Template and elements libraries bring more professional options for presentations.

Cons:

It's hard to say what I like least as I really enjoy using Camtasia and depend on it for many projects.

Pros:

Camtasia is a versatile and powerful video editing and screen recording software that offers a wide range of features and tools for creating professional-quality videos. As someone who has used Camtasia extensively, I can confidently say that it is one of the best screen recording and video editing software available on the market today. One of the standout features of Camtasia is its user-friendly interface. Even if you have no prior experience with video editing, the software is intuitive and easy to use. The drag-and-drop interface allows you to quickly add elements to your videos, while the extensive library of templates and assets makes it easy to create professional-looking videos in no time. Another great feature of Camtasia is its screen recording capabilities. With Camtasia, you can easily record your computer screen, webcam, or both simultaneously. This is especially useful for creating tutorial videos or product demos, where you need to show users how to use a particular software or application. In conclusion, Camtasia is an excellent video editing and screen recording software that offers a wide range of features and tools for creating professional-looking videos. While it may be on the expensive side, its user-friendly interface, screen recording capabilities, and editing tools make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to create high-quality video content.

Cons:

One downside of Camtasia is its price. Compared to other video editing software, Camtasia is on the more expensive side. However, if you're looking for a powerful and feature-rich tool that will help you create high-quality videos, Camtasia is definitely worth the investment.
