Overall Satisfaction with Camtasia

We have a variety of uses for Camtasia. We record webinars and presentations conducted by vendors and other companies to retain for future reference. We make training videos and informational presentations. Most recently it was used to record a PowerPoint presentation for an audience of technical consultants. The .mp4 file was submitted to a professional production company who then recorded my narration and combined that with the video. The final result was sleek. We see the most value from creating marketing and educational videos.

Pros

  • Easy start/pause/restart during recording. This lessens the editing process.
  • Super easy to edit the recording. You can get down to milliseconds and cut either audio or video segments, or both together. You don't have to be fussy about how you sound because you can fix problems later.
  • Easily add a table of contents so that viewers can go right to the sections that are of interest to them.
  • Custom assets for branding, transitions between slides, animations, and music are all included in Camtasia. These features help make presentations to look professional.

Cons

  • Honestly, I can't think of anything.
  • Extensive, easy-to-use editing features such as splitting a clip and moving it on the timeline, and extending a clip.
  • Ability to zoom into a section of the recording in order to highlight the content for the audience.
  • Cutting sections from a clip that aren't needed. We can record more than we need and then decide what to keep during editing.
  • Time saved: 500 hours.
  • Money made: $50,000

Would you buy Camtasia again?

Yes

One of our software vendors provides educational videos that we are required to view and then take tests. The videos are several hours long and have no breaks or topic markers, which makes reviewing the material difficult. How many of us can watch a four-hour-long video and remember everything that is in it, and also remember where the video has the information that pertains to a particular question? I capture those videos in Camtasia and add a table of contents with chapters and sub-topics for my team. This saves all of us a lot of time.
