    It is easy to use with very little explanation. It seems well suited for a creative individual looking to make a professional video.

    It is a great tool for making short, informal recordings that I can share with prospects. I also have offsite support people, so sending them a quick video if I’m stuck on something or I need their help and they have misinterpreted my request is also where this is a useful tool. Then, if I need to edit the video later, switching to Camtasia is seamless and straightforward, which is a huge bonus for simplicity and speed. (Having said that, if I have a larger or more enduring piece of content to create, I will usually start in Camtasia from the outset, but I have had times I’ve needed to tweak something in a quick capture vid, so I’ve been glad for the ease of this.)

    Cons
    Corel Corporation
    • Importing files is easy but sometimes difficult to locate.
    • This might be user error but making folders within the imported files would be nice to have.
    • I don't use special effects that often but sometimes they are difficult to find again.

    • I’m used to it so can’t say I experience a huge amount of issues…
    • I’d always welcome small workflow improvements that might reduce clicks and essentially make it faster to move from recording to sharing - I really value speed in my workday.
    • Being able to organize recordings better and having a few more productivity shortcuts might be beneficial; I notice this on days with heavier content creation.
