Chose Adobe Captivate
Captivate is more full-featured than Snagit (which is the most limited), Adobe Presenter Video Express (which is probably the next most limited), or Camtasia (which is probably the most direct competitor that I'm at all familiar with). While I have a limited familiarity with …
I use Camtasia for video editing, however, we have Premier Pro and are now learning to use it. Camtasia and Snagit we use for smaller projects. For bigger projects, we use them all.
SWAT (internal LCMS) - more flexible but not common to many and difficult to keep up to date Adobe Connect - great for webinars and online classes with live instructor.
Adobe Captivate is much more powerful than the Articulate products. It can take your training much further. If you can imagine it, you ca create it in Captivate. It also makes it easy to maintain simulations as they are recorded a individual pages making it easy to make a quick …

If you are looking for our image editing, something like Photoshop is a more robust tool - it can just do more. What it lacks is screen and video capture. Photoshop allows for detailed editing, creation, and more. Whereas Snagit is more useful for creating instructions and …
I had used the basic screenshot tools before and other tools that I don't even remember the names. I selected Snagit because it has an image editor included that has many options and possibilities and also because it is very easy nd fun to use.
Snagit does not have the functionality of Photoshop, but if you simply want the image with minor edits, it is quicker and easier to use. Often I only need the shot with minimal edits at best. Sometimes I hide the beta stamp on a screen, thinks where Photoshop is overkill.
