Its preloaded call out effects, pan and zoom feature, and simple linear editor make it a fairly usable for even more novice faculty to use. Additionally, we've also noted quite a few enhancements and they've worked to make the Mac and PC versions more consistent than they were originally.,Easy to use
Pre-canned special effects, transitions, and callouts
ability to integrate/publish to your LMS with the additional of the RELAY software (recommended),The export process can be slow and it can monopolize your machine's RAM. It is difficult to do other tasks while Camtasia is rendering your final product.
Old versions can be temperamental and occasionally corrupt/refuse to open if you don't practice good file management. Keep your files organized in with a master project folder!
The built-in Screencast hosting solution isn't very good. We usually end up rendering and hosting elsewhere. (private Vimeo Channel, YouTube or Kaltura),8,It's allowed us to produce more media at a faster rate
The license model isn't great, we'd love to be able to buy it in bulk but there doesn't seem to be much cost savings there if any
Faculty generally like it though some are intimidated by the UI at first.
Student overall love the end product, especially when callouts are utilized. The screencasts are consistently one of the most highly rated items on our end of course evaluations.,Adobe Premiere Pro,Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Blackboard Learn, Zoom Video Webinar, Poll Everywhere, MindTap, PanoptoMark NowowiejskiEffortlessly create or edit videos with professional results2018-11-30T17:28:24.030ZIn my current role, I am responsible for the departmental communications. My team sets up knowledge share meetings, VP Town Hall meetings, etc. All of which involves video recordings. Often we need to either trim down videos or edit gaps. Camtasia is the first product I go to. I also use the software to combine images into videos to commemorate our employees participating in community events. And lastly, I will use Camtasia to create quick training videos.,The interface is very easy to use. Without any experience, a person can quickly create or edit and produce it in a format you need.
Camtasia offers many extras included with the software at such a low price point.
The product is feature rich. There are transitions and the ability to create animations. Many tools that allow a person to create a professional video.
TechSmith offers many tutorials, both in video format and in articles. They have a great support system.,I'm hard pressed to find areas that need improvement. If I could recommend anything, it would be a faster video creation.,10,The value for this product is the ability to become proficient at using it in a very relative short period of time.
The price point is very low for such a feature rich product. It almost is addictive. I have found myself trying to find videos to create just so I can use the product.
Contracting out to a company to create videos will cost you much more than the small investment made in this software. Even if you invest in some of the other TechSmith products that can be used to supplement content to your videos, you will still find yourself well under a budget for a contractor.,,Snagit, Adobe PhotoshopWilliam RuthrauffMid-level editing suited for new users with a real interest in editing and capture2018-10-22T17:36:05.554ZCamtasia 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.,Provides an all-in-one software for capture and editing
Guides users through the process of using the software for the first time
Allows voiceover and editing in one system without the need to export/transfer and re-time or re-edit to align the VO with the visuals,There are very frequent updates recently, and with little to no improvement - but consistently bothering the user to upgrade whenever the software is opened.
Deploying site-wide can be frustrating unless you buy a certain number of licenses and qualify for centralized license management
It offers too many features in some cases - lots of things like animation and greenscreen are never touched by our users, and it would be nice to have an alternative UI or cheaper version that is even more watered down.,7,Single licenses allow for us to deploy a limited mid-range solution for editing and capture,ilos, Adobe Premiere Pro and iMovie,OneDrive, Todoist, Wunderlist,Trimming videos (from the end or removing a section in the middle)
recording/replacing voiceover,Exporting - it defaults to an export option that includes HTML, java and other files that are completely unnecessary unless you are hosting your own website. Not intuitive at all for the average video creator
Adjusting and finding audio controls has gotten more difficult over the past years
splitting audio and video to adjust each independently of the other,No,7Paul WeberCamtasia doesn't have all that you want, but may have all you need2019-01-12T02:56:21.772ZCamtasia is primarily used in our hospital as a screen capture and video editing tool by our professional development and training department. Within the department, five employees actively use this application for video editing. Camtasia offers an intuitive video editing option with simple tools and a direct connection to other TechSmith tools that are commonly used by our department.,Camtasia offers cursor and click tracking and highlighting. This easily accessible option is amazingly useful in creating the system tutorials for which our department is responsible.
Our first step in capturing screen steps and progress is using TechSmith SnagIt. SnagIt integrates seamlessly with Camtasia.,Camtasia lacks some of the pro options that are required to complete our videos. We often turn to some of our full-featured applications to finish a project.
The import/export file formats are very limited.,8,Camtasia helps our staff achieve their learning objectives by providing our team with an intuitive tool for creating tutorials.
Camtasia negatively impacts our business by forcing us to keep on hand at least two separate video editing suites in order to accommodate all scenarios.
Camtasia is helping in reducing my video production time with its ability to record and highlight cursor movements and clicks.,Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie and Final Cut Pro X,Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro XRelton McBurrowsCamtasia Gets You Up and Running Quickly2018-12-18T17:32:26.016ZOur company uses Camtasia mainly for internal training videos; however we have recently started using it for external training videos and webinar recordings as well. Although I have the full Adobe Creative Cloud Suite including Premiere Pro, I prefer Camtasia for its ease of use. You can watch their useful training videos and be up and running with recording and editing in less than an hour.,Internal employee software training videos. This is where Camtasia really excels, as you're able to record all your screen activity and add highlights, call-outs, etc. to your video during the editing phase.
External pre-recorded webinars or training.
Editing post-webinar recordings for later distribution.,I haven't yet come across something I've wanted to do and haven't been able to do.
Even when it takes you a bit to figure out how to do something, or where to go to find it, there's probably a training video or other help files available.,10,We've been able to provide our employees with timely training information. For example, teaching the basics of using Salesforce in our organization.
We've been able to provide training videos for clients that are more polished than just recording a presentation. The ability to edit audio and video, add transitions and fades, add call-out boxes and text... all add to a nice finished product.
Our marketing team is always juggling multiple projects... Camtasia's ease of use translates into quicker project completion.,Adobe Premiere Pro,Adobe Acrobat DC, Adobe Illustrator CC, Canva,3,1,internal training videos of proprietary software
