Camtasia Reviews

Camtasia is currently being used at our institution as a mid-range capture and editing platform for faculty, students, and staff. They are typically guided to use Camtasia over our simpler solutions if they need to add media into their production after recording - including photos, video, text, or music. Camtasia is a benefit to those users who need a slightly more robust solution (beyond simply capture and delivery), and allows them to learn only one piece of software for both creation, manipulation, and exporting a compressed file ready for delivery. We only retain a limited number of licenses because many users are satisfied with our simpler platform and only need capture and basic trimming features.

We use Camtasia for a number of screencasts for trainings and marketing material. We run through product demos, but also record animated slides from PowerPoint (although I do not use the PP plug-in - I just record it while running the presentation). Camtasia is quite intuitive and easy for quick edits of the recorded videos. We even use it sometimes for basic audio recordings (exporting the video file as an mp3), and have put in some actual video (interviews, introductions, etc.) for export. Be warned, however, that it's not really designed for that, so the program can get really choppy when trying to edit.

Camtasia is being used for training, support, and marketing within our company. We can easily create and edit training videos to include step by step instructions, alternate audio, and focus on key features. Camtasia also is used by our marketing team to create videos for prospective clients through emails, Youtube and social media. This product is simple to begin using and the UI is great.

Our institution uses Camtasia for screen recording of powerpoints or other software uses for instruction. Voice over powerpoints are great for our instructors and very easy to create, edit, and share. I even share with instructors how to edit other videos they are creating - Camtasia is a good basic video editor that doesn't take a long time to master.

Camtasia is regularly used in collaboration with my clients to record, edit and create training videos for on-demand learning and education.

We are currently using it to create training videos for our end users. Right now it's only being used by 2 departments. I also use it to create and convert other videos for our events to help streamline presentations. It's quick to create and convert many videos and pretty simple to use.

My company is a software training and consulting company. Camtasia is our primary program for creating and editing training and informational videos. Because of this, I work with Camtasia almost daily. I can quickly and effortlessly create professional looking videos with annotations, transitions, animations, etc. with no difficulty at all. Additionally, the share features allow me to produce too many different distribution methods quite easily. Because of this, I work with Camtasia almost daily.

Camtasia is used in my department to share how to videos and demo paths of the solutions we offer.
It is a standard in the market. Super powerful when you are recording your screen because later you can edit that recording and add compelling effects that take your explanations to the next level.

We use Camtasia to create screen-capture marketing videos and how-to videos to educate our customers on how to use our product.

Camtasia is used across departments mainly for recording onscreen trainings, meetings, and other onscreen events.

Camtasia is used by the marketing department to make our how-to videos, product presentations and any virtual training that our company provides. Since a lot of our videos have to be client specific, producing them in-house makes a lot more sense and proves to be much more cost-effective than hiring a 3rd party vendor.

In our organization, we use videos to deliver information about changes to products, processes, and tools. On the training side, we also use videos to deliver training to our sales organization. These include tutorials, informational videos, or engagement videos. Camtasia has allowed us to broaden the number of users creating videos - allowing us to increase the volume of videos we produce as well as remove a bottleneck in the process.

I use Camtasia to build fun and interactive webinars by utilizing the screen capture feature. I am also able to import separate, studio recorded audio into the tool to narrate the visuals. It is a great tool that is used across our organization for a number of different purposes.

The ability to quickly create high-quality content has been outstanding! Not only have I been able to use this software to create e-Learning courses and videos, I have also been able to use it to create marketing type videos to use in presentations! The best part is I own this software! The cost of this software is very small compared to other authoring tools and is affordable enough for me to own my own license! Since I own my own license, I can have one copy of the software at work and one at home (I also use this software to create video game reviews)!

Camtasia Studio is one of the powerful tools for video recording. We have been using Camtasia Studio for last 4 years now. We use Camtasia Studio for creating tutorial videos for visitors by recording different instructions shown on computer screen. Camtasia Studio supports multiple video file formats. As of now, Camtasia Studio is used independently by various departments within our organization.

I use Camtasia for new system functionality rollouts. I create training videos to align with online, in person and training materials for organizations.

Camtasia Studio is being used to create custom videos for our clients and their employees. It allows us to deliver custom and interacting client videos.

Our team of instructional designers uses Camtasia to create instructional videos for our clients to learn how to use the software they purchase from us to perform their day to day duties.

I use Camtasia to produce videos for our sales team to provide a visual demo of the type of services and solutions we can provide a customer. It allows us to give the customer an idea of the automated intelligence and personalization we can develop in an application without having to build the working app.

Camtasia is being to create training videos by our BIM staff for our Architectural and Engineering staff. The program is not used throughout the entire company because only people who are responsible for training use the program. Being a national firm with 7 offices throughout the country, the main business problem is addresses is project consistency throughout the company without having to travel to all the offices to do training.

We use Camtasia to generate training videos for our company, as well as sales and marketing videos that are used in our sales and marketing materials and websites. Camtasia allows us to easily record our screens while narrating a training session. This means that any user who needs to prepare a simple training video can do so. The training manager and I also use Camtasia to produce more professional videos that will be used on our websites and marketing materials.

Camtasia is used by several faculty members in various departments across campus and my office, Instructional Technology, to create instructional videos.
Faculty find Camtasia to be a useful asynchronous lecture recording tool, as it has a simplistic PowerPoint integration that allows for easy lecture recording, and the editing features within Camtasia are fairly intuitive and not intimidating. While some faculty members use Camtasia to create tutorial videos or videos to support in-class lecture, most of our faculty using Camtasia practices a flipped classroom model for instruction.
For Instructional Technology, Camtasia is great for creating how-to videos to introduce faculty to new tech tools on campus and guide faculty through the implementation of new features within tech tools we user regularly, such as updates in our learning management system.

Camtasia is being used by implementing voice over videos that are integrated onto our Moodle LMS. Camtasia also assists faculty when they want to upload an instructional video into their course for students to view. Faculty has also learned that you can design a video in Camtasia to ask quiz questions and they love this feature as well.

Our organization uses Camtasia in a number of different ways:
1. Recording product demos and walk throughs. This is one of our prominent use-cases. As we record a demo of every feature our platform offers. We can then use these videos to train new-hires, partners, etc.
2. Video editing - each video has different sections outlining the feature to describe its capabilities.

I cannot speak to other departments in the university, but I work in the learning and development department that supports training our staff. I use to to create quick tutorials to send to staff to reduce the amount of time they are away from their students in full on training. It allows for them to be able to learn when it is most convenient for them. I also use it to edit video recorded by our media services department. We record training sessions and afterwards I use Camtasia to splice the larger video into a number of smaller more digestible recordings.
