Overall Satisfaction with Camtasia

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.
  • Editing! I am in no way an experienced video editor but Camtasia makes me look like a pro!
  • Adding in labels, arrows, text etc on top of a previously recorded video.
  • My favorite is the ability to record my screen quickly and easily. It helps me with colleagues who may not be on site, I can show them quickly how to do something by using camtasia and then sending them the video.
  • I would love if Camtasia had whiteboard animation built in.
  • I wish the zoom feature was a bit more zoomy. I feel like when I zoom in all the way to make snips, that I could be more precise with a few more levels of zoom.
  • I wish Camtasia had clip art available to insert.
  • Camtasia has had a postitive impact on our business objectives by allowing us to get training out to the masses faster.
  • Camtasia has saved us hours of staff away from their students by allowing for learning on demand when they have time to do it.
  • Camtasia has allowed for us to step up our game of professionalism enhancing the reputation of our department.
  • rawshorts
So the only reason I used rawshorts is because I could not find the ability to do a whiteboard video with Camtasia. I was trying a different presentation technique and really love the idea of sketches and words instead of video with a voice over. Both have their merits, but I would love for Camtasia to offer that functionality.
Camtasia is appropriate whenever you are trying to do any amateur video editing. I have had little "training" on it. it is very intuitive and has saved me a lot of time and frustration. I really love that you can cut pieces of video out, add Powerpoint slides in, and add arrows and callouts to support your message.
