    "Great way to get started in video editing"

    Overall: It saves a lot of time in sending visualizations, providing a visual reference to our developers. We can organize the content brilliantly. I use it daily to take and download screenshots.

    Posted 2024-06-14

    Pros: I love how easy it makes it to record and edit my videos. It really is a great software for what I use it for.

    Cons: I don't like that Camtasia Assets is a subscription, instead of a one time payment.

    Overall: I've used a couple other editing software's, but none of them have even come close to Camtasia's level.

    "Leader in Screen Casting But Needs to Finesse for Ease of Use Features "

    Posted 2024-06-12

    Pros: There is no other similar product that can do the same things Camtasia completes. The background remover is such a handy feature that I cannot utilize in other video software: a much welcomed feature.

    Cons: Captioning is needed in video today - Camtasia doesn't have auto-captioning - it is a manual process. I would like a time saving.

    Overall: There is no other product that has the same features for screen casting as Camtasia. With that being said it does need to be finessed for UX - I would like to see a better looking and more intuitive list on the right side of window such as "Transitions" "Annotations" "Gesture Effects"

    The captioning is quite manually and does need to be modernized. I have to take video and take to another software. I would love to see some improvements to reduce one software instance,

    "Easy to use and affordable but very powerful"

    Posted 2024-05-16

    Pros: 1) It was very easy to learn how to edit videos in Camtasia
    2) I also use Camtasia for my interviews for my consulting business
    3) The available tools are powerful and drag and drop to apply
    4) Using the templates and the library makes it easy to reuse work and give videos the same look and feel (branding)

    With Camtasia, I get my videos looking quite professional without breaking a sweat.

    Cons: 1) When migrating to new versions, the videos made on previous versions need conversion. It's easy, but other software (not for video editing) doesn't need this step.
    2) Editing and managing the templates is a bit tedious. That would be one of my requested features to easily access and change the templates.

    Overall: I love Camtasia. I haven't tried many other software because this is so easy to use and high-quality.

    "Camtasia: The Editing Software"

    Edited 2024-05-13

    Pros: Timeline editing is very easy. The options for transitions are great and the software as a whole is one that I do use and will continue to use. The audio and video options are good like transition but are limited but not enough that I would ding that for this software. Annotations work very well, and exporting videos work like a charm with little issue over my entire time working with this software.

    Cons: It takes some time to get used to how things work, and sometimes you have to take the long route when editing due to a certain lack of features. There is no feature for having two clips of cross-fade audio to make transitions better. I have a method that works; it just takes a bit more editing to get there. I have more things that I have problems with like this, but I cannot remember them at the moment.

    Overall: I really like this software! I use it every day for my YouTube channel, Doom Maestro; it is amazing! I highly recommend it. It has become so normal to use in my every other-day life, as my YouTube upload schedule is every other day or every three days. Most of my problems are the lack of audio options/settings and sometimes I do even have to use other software to make it easier. To be fair, I have spent time figuring out alternative ways of using Camtasia to do what I want to do, for example, read the cons section, but it would take less time editing and make the experience all the better to have those options available in software. I do not recall all the issues I have had since I used it so much. Everything is natural now when I use it and it is harder to notice the problems as I have found my normal "grove" with the software, which I really do enjoy. Otherwise, most things work very well, and transitions are easy and look good in the final product. and they even have customization options for some of them, and you can play them in reverse in your video if you prefer the transition reversed for your video.

    "Excellent product"

    Posted 2024-05-10

    Pros: - Easy to get up the learning curve and produce quality output
    - Intuitive
    - Good supporting video tutorials

    Cons: - Pricey
    - User interface often changes between versions requiring re-learning
    - There's a bug in their maintenance program in that if you take out maintenance but don't select autorenew the system tells you you don't have maintenance when in fact you do!

    Overall: It's a good product that has evolved over time. The ease with which you can produce quality videos very fast clinches it
