Overall Satisfaction with Camtasia
The whole organization uses Camtasia. We are a small company, with four people. Two of us are trainers and we record online video courses. We use Camtasia to create professional training videos and our in-house editors use it to add features and logos, etc. to the videos to make it consistent with our brand. We need a reliable program that can be used by the entire team to create professional video. We also do green-screen video and Camtasia is great for that.
- Advanced editing features
- Ability to add graphic overlays like logos
- Green-screen capabilities
- Lots of editing options that allow you to easily adjust size, space, timing, etc.
- Limited cross-compatibility with different versions. One team member upgraded and everyone had to upgrade as a result because they couldn't transfer files and work on them as a team.
- Some editing features are a bit challenging to figure out such as transitions and animations. It's not intuitive and things change with versions so if you find an online tutorial it won't apply if it's the wrong version.
- Large file size outputs. It would be nice to sync them to a cloud vs. needing to keep an external hard drive handy to store files. When working on a team, the team has had to physically transport hard drives to share files.
- It has saved us time in that we can efficiently edit video using hotkey shortcuts to zip through editing.
- It has saved us time because we can create a template video with standards such as logo placement and caption animations. Then all we need to do is swap out the video and update the captions and it's done.
- We've had to invest in external hard drives to store all the files.
Camtasia has more features and more customization options than the other products we've used. It allows us to record presentations while keeping a video of the presenter in the corner. It has green-screen features, which a lot of other software does not have. Some programs have a few templates for graphic overlays but they are very limited, or the other programs focus on just one type of video. Camtasia offers tons of flexibility and customization and allows you to create professional videos.
