Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Camtasia to produce videos to post on YouTube for podcast episodes, these are typically 1 hour long and result in large files being exported, using cloud video editors in the past has proven to be too slow on big long videos. Adobe premiere is overkill and overpriced for the relatively simple requirements this formatted output needs.

Likelihood to Recommend

Camtasia is ideal for screen capture videos which are its primary use case, but it is also perfect for other basic videos like talking head social videos that need producing quickly. For more glossy content videos it is not as feature-rich as adobe premiere

Camtasia it not just for screen capture videos
