Considered Both Products	TechSmith Verified User Chose Camtasia Personally find that Camtasia has better video editing tools than those available in the above competition. That being said the other software I have used has been mainly focused on other areas; their video editing tool is more of an afterthought and isn't as easy to use as … Incentivized Helpful? Robin Larrabee People Development and Experience Manager in Human Resources at Total Expert (Computer Software, 201-500 employees) Chose Camtasia Camtasia is much more robust than iMovie. You can customize Camtasia and easily adjust video and audio settings. With iMovie, you can always "tell"- it is only customizable to a certain degree. Camtasia is like the "advanced" version of iMovie, giving you more flexibility and a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Camtasia Ease of use, the daily notifications that I receive. Ability to track support skills and subject matter experts. Teams are able to provide feedback on needs and what works, what doesn't. I use other Techsmith products as well as tools like Scribe. Camtasia offered a variety of … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Chow Learning Experience Designer / Graphic Designer at ULearn.tech (E-Learning, 1-10 employees) Chose Camtasia My goal was to quickly create a professional-looking course and video in no time with Camtasia. 'Time is money,' as the old saying goes. Because of my lack of time and patience, I didn't bother with other applications. Camtasia is everything I need and more. I just wished I can … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Camtasia As with most software products, you'll always find pros and cons when making comparisons. Camtasia is always my go-to application when someone asks me to whip up a video on a very tight deadline. You can very quickly turn an idea into a finished video and be happy with the … Incentivized Helpful? Drew Harrison Freelance Programmer in Engineering at Freelance (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose Camtasia Camtasia is much more expensive than Filmora, but it is much more robust. Filmora is great if you're on a budget, but Camtasia can add an extra level of professionalism that is difficult to achieve in Filmora without a lot of extra work. Either is great, but Filmora is only a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Camtasia I honestly have not worked with any others in at least three to four years. There is virtually no learning curve with Camtasia--super simple and does everything I need. I cannot say how others stack up currently, as there has been no reason to explore other options since using … Incentivized Helpful? Candace Goldstein-Lefebvre Learning Management System Administrator/eLearning Specialist in Human Resources at Resources for Human Development (Non-profit Organization Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Camtasia Camtasia is so easy to use and all media can just be uploaded. Incentivized Helpful? Doug Ash Partner in Corporate at Smart Hotel Software Inc. (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose Camtasia We use Snagit for screen capture and needed a video capture so we went to the same company. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Carpenter Danaher Business System Leader (DBSL), Awesomizer, Fixer, Maker, Collaboration Enabler in Research & Development at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences (Biotechnology, 10,001+ employees) Chose Camtasia Camtasia is not on the same level as Premiere Pro, but it isn’t designed to fill that niche either. Premiere Pro is much more capable, but it is also much more expensive and much more broadly focused as a linear editor. It is much more approachable, it is much more affordable, … Incentivized Helpful? Glen Gummess Educational Technologist in Information Technology at University of St. Francis (Higher Education, 201-500 employees) Chose Camtasia Captivate is high-end to the extent that it is beyond the use of a "typical" user. It has a steep and lengthly learning curve. Camtasia's learning curve can be mastered potentially within an hour to be productive, and it weds with Snagit to become versatile in presenting … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Camtasia The two first, well too complicated. I couldn't move fast enough to be able to edit what I needed. I tried and every single time, I came back to Camtasia. The rendering process seems to be faster (I worked prior with a third party company and the rendering process took a lot of … Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Roberts Director, Management Information Systems in Information Technology at CareerSource Florida (Public Policy, 11-50 employees) Chose Camtasia I've tried several freeware recorders, too. If all you want to do is literally record your screen, and nothing else, you don't need Camtasia. There are literally dozens of apps that will do that. If you want an app that will record your screen while capturing mouse clicks, … Incentivized Helpful? Jamie Drahos Sr. Learning Solution Analyst in Sales at Tennant Company (E-Learning, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Camtasia Our advanced editors use programs like Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, but we only have about 5-6 employees that have that skill level. That isn't enough to support our video output. Camtasia allows everyone that is not at that level to create quality videos with a much … Incentivized Helpful? Andy Ryan Launch Engineer in Marketing at Let's Launch (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Camtasia Camtasia lets you purchase the software and download it to your computer. You don't need to have an internet connection to work on your projects with Camtasia. You don't have to pay a monthly subscription for Camtasia like you do the others. Camtasia is the software to use if … Incentivized Helpful? Jorge A. Merino Diseñador gráfico autónomo in Professional Services at Amejoartes (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Camtasia I have used others, but I consider that the closest to Camtasia are: Movavi, Filmora, Openshot, iMovie and perhaps DaVinciResolve (although this is something more for the professional sector). Among the others I've used: LumaFusion (Ipad), Kinemaster (Android), Vllo (Android) … Incentivized Helpful? Allison Chaney Chief Digital Training Officer in Marketing at Boot Camp Digital (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Camtasia 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Karen Chamberlain Consultant in Corporate at HMS Cornerstone Solutions (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Camtasia Never could really get the hang of MadCap. Incentivized Helpful? Nancy Johnson Director of Training and Development, Visual IQ in Sales at Nielsen (Computer Software, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Camtasia They are similar products. For someone devoted to video-editing, Captivate might be a better choice - it has a bit more functionality but is harder to learn and use. The last time I used Captivate, it couldn't handle a multi-screen setup, which was a deal-breaker for us, and … Incentivized Helpful? Keith Lillico, M.Ed, MBA Owner/Independent Instructional Designer in Corporate at Lillico Learning (E-Learning, 1-10 employees) Chose Camtasia Adobe offers you a lot more tools and control over what you are doing when editing a video, but there tends to be a lot of features you never use and get overly complicated. Camtasia offers the basic tools that you need to get almost any job done if perfection is not required. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Camtasia Having used both solutions, I would recommend them for different uses. iMovie is a great platform for family videos but does not go beyond clipping videos together. Camtasia allows you to do some nicer editing of videos. This is why it is a much better platform for small … Incentivized Helpful? Amelia Keown Six Sigma Master Black Belt in Human Resources at Wilbert Plastic Services (Plastics, 501-1000 employees) Chose Camtasia Camtasia has great and features such as zoom, pan, screen capture, and table of contents - all of which are useful when creating our training videos. Incentivized Helpful? Will Goad Senior director of implementation in Professional Services at Workgroups (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Camtasia For training and multi-departmental purposes I believe Camtasia wins due to: 1. A more intuitive, less technical user interface than Premiere. 2. Windows and Mac versions, unlike Final Cut. 3. Annotation features (arrows, boxes, etc) not found in Corel Video Studio Pro.
