verall if you want a software that can do it all from screen capturing, video and audio Camtasia has you covered

Camtasia is a great video editor, and as a beginner, it was easy for me to learn how to use it. It has a great community that provides videos and tutorials on how to use certain features, making it easy to learn and use.

Record and edit simple training videos

It's a must-have if you are looking for reliable software to capture your screen. It has some great features to minimize post-editing, meaning you can use it to simplify your work when creating a series of training videos.

The first step for beginners towards video editing.

I have been using it for more than four years. After gaining a lot of experience in video editing, learning the basics, and understanding the principles of editing and how to combine photos and music into videos, I started delving deeper into more professional programs.

What do you like best about Camtasia?

I used it for two things: the first is to edit my videos, and the second is to record my screen. It is a very easy-to-use feature; the user interface is very simple. It has a lot of ready-made transitions between videos, as well as special transitions for texts and animations for images. You can put video subtitles, add graphic shapes and arrows, and there are some sound effects that you can use very quickly in processing files and exporting videos. You can also use it to remove the screen and make some explanations with high audio and video accuracy. Camtasia is aimed at the novice user in this field because you can create simple videos of very high quality.

What do you dislike about Camtasia?

Camtasia lacks the most important feature, which is autosave. When the power goes out, all the projects I was working on disappear. It also does not have as many professional transitions as other programs; it is of limited use.

What features is Camtasia currently missing?

Auto-save feature for projects

The best editing software for simple projects

Camtasia, to my knowledge, is the only software where you can capture your screen and a camera at the same time and also has editing capabilities. This is huge for my team. We mostly create content for internal use, so having something complex would just slow things down. Camtasia has just the right amount of tools without the extra features you might need if editing a full-length film. It's been great for our team.

Really Good Video Editing Software for Beginners

I have been using Camtasia 2019 for 1 year, and it has been a really great experience. Especially if you are a beginner at video editing, you should definitely try the software. There are many effects and animations for editing, and the software runs really smoothly compared to others. You can try it free for 15 days by signing up. Thank you.

Very Choppy Interface

I recently tried out Camtasia for editing videos and recording screen videos for my online courses. What I observed is that the user interface and panel of Camtasia are very choppy and have a steep learning curve for new users. There are fewer features in the software for recording screen videos. The key mapping features for automating screen recording in Camtasia are very difficult to use. We have to manually record videos using the pointer. So overall: Features - Very few compared to dedicated editing and recording software. Ease of Use - Has a lot of cluttered panels, making it hard to use. Value for Money - It has a good price but does not offer features that justify the cost. Customer Support - Customer support from the TechSmith team is good as expected.

Very nice software

My work is very simple now; it saves me a lot of time. Now I can make our videos more impressive. It's easy to add videos, images, and audio. We can also crop and cut the video to make it very impressive. Anyone can easily operate the software.

Best Video Editing Software

I have been using Camtasia for more than 3 years, and it's awesome. It has tons of features, and the one-click Chroma key is one of the best features and works like magic, saving a huge amount of time. I can record the screen, PowerPoint presentations, and more, and edit them quickly. It even renders videos fast on my 4GB machine.
