![]() I'm kind of wavering between just doing a Powerpoint presentation for the web (which I've never done either) or getting started with Camstudio. I've never done a video before (not without an old-fashioned Camcorder or TV Camera), so this is pretty new to me. A 5 minute video wouldn't quite cover what I have in mind. I could go ahead and start using it and see for myself, but I'm not ready yet and was hoping to get some feedback before I waste time with it. Or perhaps it's too complicated to use? Useful features missing? Don't know what program created those.Īre there any glitches or shortcomings with Camstudio that you know about? Perhaps too big a file size, only works on certain platforms, etc. I've seen some videos that are quite teeny (about 2 inches square). It would have to be of sufficient size for people to view the contents. The finished product would appear on a web page, just like the ones you see with Camtasia. Just something that enables me to do screen capture, add text and audio, insert images and allow viewers to click to view at their own speed, ie: it doesn't start automatically until the viewer clicks the run button. I'm thinking of doing some videos to sell/promote products so the program doesn't have to be anything fancy. Camstudio, on the other hand, was a free download I got from somewhere. I haven't tried either yet, but I see that Camtasia is a bit costly. What's the difference between Camtasia and Camstudio? The price tag is too expensive to justify this solely for its screen recording capabilities.Huge question, I know, but maybe you can cut it down into short relevant parts. There are significantly cheaper options for screen recording software, including decent free options. As such, it is more designed for piecing together existing footage than to edit mistakes in the footage or add significant pieces to the footage. As a video editor, it lacks options for color correction or other features that video professionals would need to use in their work environments. This is good for creating content to edit later.Ĭons: The only way to really justify the price tag is to fully utilize the video editing in conjunction with the video and screen recording capabilities. It also offers functionality for recording the screen, either the whole screen or a part of it, in addition to support for audio recording and webcam recording. The editor supports video editing up to 4K resolution, so it will be able to handle modern camcorder footage. There is multitrack editing in the linear video editor supplied, good for adding titles, overlay images, backgrounds to green screen footage, and adding multiple audio tracks to the videos. ![]() This feature isn’t typically offered at a price below $300, so it is nice to see this feature in a product at this price point. Their software makes removing a green screen as simple as finding the color and removing it. Each operating system has its own version of the software, though, so different downloads will need to be purchased.Īnother advantage it has over some of the other options in its category is the option for easy green screen replacement. Cross platform usage is important for users who either need to create content to share with other editors on other platforms, or for users who frequently bounce between devices running different operating systems. ![]() Pair that with the fact that it is a cross platform product, and Camtasia becomes an easier choice for using as a video editor. Pros: Having focused on being a video editor first, then adding recording capabilities into the software, Camtasia is an all in one solution for content editing and creation. It offers features that will make the editing component worthwhile and makes recording and editing screen recordings of the desktop and iOS devices simple. However, for users who don’t need a full scale video editor, but still wish to have a powerful video editor, or need to record videos and edit them in one place, Camtasia will be worth the price. ![]() At a price of $199, it is a more expensive option than many other video editors available, and there are cheaper options for those looking to only record their screen. Overall Opinion: Camtasia is primarily advertising itself as a video editor, with the secondary capability of recording the screen. ![]()
