### "My review "

January 2, 2022

5.0

My experience with Camtasia is one of the best experiences in recording and editing videos and publishing them on many sites I think, without a doubt, that Camtasia is the best program so far for video recording and editing

Pros

Recorded video quality The speed of uploading videos to YouTube and social networking sites Editing of videos

Cons

It takes a long time to open and close Please work on this problem

### "Has been indispensible in creating my new video series"

September 1, 2021

5.0

I just finished an intensive 6-months project using Camtasia for editing a 30+ hour educational videos series for artists. I had used Camtasia casually for 7-8 years , for fairly small projects, so this was a big step up in my requirements. My timeline generally started with 3 video feeds (3 angles on my work table), a separate audio feed, and Powerpoint slides, then I'd layer in special effects, annotations, and other items. I did have to upgrade my hardware so it could keep up (including an SSD drive) but the software did amazingly well. Since I had been using Camtasia for other work projects for several years, and I've seen improvements in each upgrade. They still put a lot of effort into improving the product. I'm very happy with my results - my videos look professional and well put together. With over 30 hours of video content, it would be easy for the series to become boring, but I can switch camera angles, add transitions, annotations, and other elements which keep it fresh and interesting. I have no hesitation in recommending Camtasia.

Pros

The product seems to be honed in to provide the features that are critical to non-professional video editors. Ease of use is great, and it has all the features I need to create professional videos

Cons

A few bugs have popped up here and there, but they've been fixed quickly. I wish it were a little easier to mix in multiple video angles

Reason for choosing Camtasia

Twice in the past I've tried Adobe Premier. While Premier has more features for a professional editor, I found it difficult to learn and use. Camtasia seems to be geared towards those who need to do video editing - but not so complicated that you need a college degree to understand what's going on. Each time I tried Premier I quickly went back to Camtasia.

### "Camtasia Review "

April 26, 2022

5.0

Pros

Camtasia has a lot of great features. It's super easy to learn for people with no experience creating videos. I had zero experience before I started creating software help videos at my company. There are also many videos and resources to teach you how to do different things. The ability to group different tracks is very helpful for creating animations and saving time having to edit multiple tracks. It has the ability to export to different places easily. This is convenient for uploading the videos to YouTube. It's also convenient to be able to export just small parts of a video quickly to see what it would look like. We have different teams where I am at and it's easy to export and upload what we are working on and share libraries.

Cons

I do wish camtasia had better audio editing tools. The noise remover and ones they have tend to make things worse rather than better. There is another feature you can purchase in addition to camtasia that specializes in audio. There are times when camtasia crashed and thankfully a separate backup is saved when that happens, but it can be frustrating when you get kicked off. Wish there was a larger free library. While they do gave free icons, animations, etc the library you start with is small.

### "Classic powerful video producing tool"

January 14, 2023

5.0

Recording and editing videos.

Pros

Solid interface with a lot of options, including video effects. Allows me to do plenty of mix and match with bits and pieces of videos. Screen recording and video exporting. Excellent Youtube ready export option that saves time. It has customer support and it is updated every year, which is a huge plus.

Cons

I wish it didn't require so much of my PC resources. Other software that I use for video making/editing use less PC power, so I get things done faster. It can also be a bit cumbersome to learn and understand all the functionalities. But I always think that it's best to have it either as a backup (if you use Premiere Pro for instance) or as a main, with other software (like NCH Video Pad) for the quick tasks of cutting and basic editing.

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.

### "All I need for screen recording and simple videos"

June 29, 2021

5.0

Camtasia is very handy for me. It allows me to work fast. For complex video editing, I do use editing software like Premiere Pro in conjunction with Camtasia. For simpler projects, the functionality of Camtasia is all I need.

Pros

Camtasia allows me to capture screen actions in a very reliable way. I am using it on the Windows and MacOS platform. For simpler videos, it is very handy that Camtasia has video editing functionality built in. Its collection of lower thirds, intros and outros is helpful, too.

Cons

One of the most important functionalities in video editing is Ripple Delete. Camtasia's implementation of this function does not work well. If you have any track that does not have material directly at your point of cut, then this track will not be processed by ripple delete. The result is that your tracks are out of sync.

### "My Go-To Software for Capturing and Editing Video"

September 29, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with Camtasia has been extremely positive. I love the ability to separate audio and video tracks at the touch of a button. That feature has come in handy more times than I can count. And unlike other video editors I have worked with, Camtasia just works as I expect it to every time.

Pros

Camtasia is my go-to software for all things video, and also for audio. Its versatility and ease of use have any other software of this kind beat in my opinion. I can record a video or import video from almost any source and edit it quickly to produce final clips that I can then export and drop into an eLearning course, publish online or use in communication. If I could only have one program for handling video, Camtasia would be my choice every time.

Cons

I am hard-pressed to think of anything that I don't like about Camtasia. It does what it does very well without any fuss. The only thing I can say is that there is a lot going on on the screen with Camtasia and I have found it difficult to use on only a laptop screen at times. It is best used on a desktop screen or second monitor.

### "Camtasia for Everything (Video editing, making new videos)"

September 1, 2022

5.0

Pros

Very flexible in use, drag and drop functionality is very quick. While recording screen we have a very nice feature to select portion of are to record. Video editing was very flexible, coming to the output it was very impressive output we will get after rendering the project. We can be able to save the project in Camtasia file format in future edits also we can use these that was one of the very nice feature. We can split video and audio out of any video that's a cool feature I like it very much. If we want we can record our own voice and append to the video

Cons

Performance wise a bit slow in rendering the project and consuming lot of CPU space Some video formats are not supporting in video editing (ex: .MKV, 4k etc.) Cropping video is not that much flexible So far these are the Cons I have seen

### "Simple, Easy, Effective"

April 22, 2024

5.0

It allowed me to do what was needed right "out of the box" and yet has the functionality for me to grow in the tool and exploit its features.

Pros

Camtasia is the perfect tool for those who need to make high-quality videos, yet are not video production/editors by trade. Ramp-up is quick and production is straightforward allowing you to go from install to satisfied product in short order.

Cons

The layering of tracks can get confusing if you are working on a big project or one that has a lot of data/content.

Reason for choosing Camtasia

The on-line tools were too limiting and you needed WIFI access to use.

### "Un'app una garanzia "

February 14, 2023

4.0

Ottima app per iniziare un tipo di percorso di registrazione video, presentazioni, ecc

Pros

La facilità di creare e registrare video è impressionante, una delle mie app preferite, se devo consigliarne una direi proprio Camtasia, per il suo prezzo e alcune funzionalità.

Cons

Rispetto ad altre app è sicuramente molto ma molto buona, certo non è classificata al primo posto, in quanto su alcune cose non mi è piaciuta, tipo qualità, che dipende anche un pò da chi l'utilizza, ma per iniziare va piuttosto bene

Early on it worked great, now it is too buggy to use, my subscription goes for 5 more months but I refuse to use it and I will let it expire.

Pros

Audio mixing is the only good feature compaire dto other similar products.

Cons

Slow, expensive and very buggy. Too many updates and patches.

### "Ideal para videotutoriales "

October 9, 2022

5.0

Lo empecé a utilizar por recomendación para hacer videotutoriales, puedes integrar en un solo video una presentación en PowerPoint, narraciones en audio y el manejo se software, al mismo tiempo en que puedes editar.

Pros

La función de grabar las presentaciones en PowerPoint directamente facilita el trabajo, puedes ir grabando por temas y editarlos sin mayor problema dentro del mismo software.

Cons

Es difícil desplazarse dentro de las pistas de edición, sobre todo con las herramientas de corte, se requiere buen ojo para encontrar el punto exacto de corte, por lo que se recomienda utilizar una tableta gráfica.

### "Simple, easy to learn, trustworthy"

November 28, 2023

5.0

It's been very useful and easy to learn, I've used it a lot and also recommended it. It is not overly expensive but there are less expensive (and even free) apps around with the same capabilities, so a free version with fewer options and pay-per-addons would be a great alternative.

Pros

It is easy to learn, produces high-quality videos and has lots of effects already included that make the job faster. It has all the basic functions and some advanced ones and it has a great interface.

Cons

Even though it has lots of effects already included, if you do the same type of video again and again the selection becomes limited. The recorder only produces a huge file that needs to be opened in Camtasia and then exported, which makes long recordings very hard to manage. And, if the videos are too big, the software becomes jumpy, which doesn't happen with the same set of videos on a different editor.

### "Easy Learning Curve for a 74-Year Old Creator"

April 25, 2024

5.0

I've been happy with Camtasia since I first downloaded it. The updates are great. And I've created more than 50 videos for The Ten-Minute Trainer Network, where I'm a contributor.

Pros

I like being able to set up a video shoot in seconds and edit it on the fly. It's made a big difference in getting my content from the printed page to quick-hitting videos. Big fan.

Cons

I have not been able to add every effect available. But I attribute a lot of that to my not getting every bit of training you offer. As a trainer myself, I know I need to go back and learn a few more "tricks" and effects.

### "Perfect for Screen Recording"

April 22, 2024

5.0

Overall it's been a very easy to use piece of software that meets the needs I bought it for.

Pros

It just works for capturing screen recordings and custom zones. I also love that I can select to record the system audio if I want to also capture that.

Cons

Having to install plugins or other things to record system audio on my Mac.

Reason for choosing Camtasia

I've been using it for years and it was just super easy to transition to newer versions.

### "Edit Video like a Pro with Camtasia"

July 27, 2022

5.0

Camtasia is a simple video editing software which business owners can use to create video advertisement, jingles, podcast and many more to promote their business.

Pros

The feature of separating audio from a video file from a video file before editing and also Camtasia has the audio editing options which makes it flexible to work with. With Camtasia you don't need to be a video expert before using it and this has help a lot of business owners to create and edit their own video.

Cons

The limitation in editing shapes. Also unlike other similar software that come with lower third designs Camtasia can add such feature to increase their rating amongst others.

### "You get what you pay for, but, Camtasia is a great deal"

April 22, 2024

3.0

Overal, Camtasia has been an easy to use and reliable video editor for basic video projects.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

I have really enjoyed using Camtasia. I just it on a weekly bases.

Pros

I really like how user friendly Camtasia is for learning and creating quick videos. I use the tool for creating company wide training and it is very easy to screen record and edit our training.

Cons

The available shapes and media for dragging and dropping into the tool are great. There are a lot of options but I would always be open to more options.

April 22, 2024

4.0

I really loved it at first and promoted it to others to start using it. Now, it drives me crazy that it takes me longer to create than it ever did before because of these design and UX changes.

Pros

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

Cons

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

### "Camtasia is the best screen recording available"

May 18, 2022

5.0

I use Camtasia to create tutorial videos for my classes at a local university and a local technical college as well as creating tutorials for my YouTube channel.

Pros

Camtasia does such a great job with screen recording, video editing and video creation. If you need a great screen recording software then this is it. The easy video editing built in makes it useful for videos recorded in other platforms and being able to export in formats supported by YouTube and most elearning platforms makes it easy.

Cons

While Camtasia does come with some stock images, it would be nice if more were included in a Camtasia subscription as opposed to having to subscribe to images as a separate service.

### "Everything you need to produce quality content"

March 22, 2022

5.0

Very good, great support and provides relevant updates each year that have been helpful. I can't see a better option for me and I would certainly recommend if you are a beginner.

Pros

Editing is very thorough and I can find a rhythm that saves me time with editing. Screen capture and voice recording is very convenient. I can't say the same for other software.

Cons

It's harder to use Camtasia on a Mac, vs PC so when I use my mac the commands are different and that throws me off. I'm much more proficient with it on a PC, so I avoid doing too much with it on my Mac.

I can create video lessons capturing the screen, slides and sometimes videos, so making a multi-source video. It helps me to show what I see to others.

Pros

It's very intuitive to use with a Mac and easy to learn especially for a non-techie. Some features will need more practice to master.

Cons

Whenever I use Krisp (noise cancellation app), the audio & video go out of sync and I have to manually adjust.
