Great video editing software perfect for tutorials
I've been using this for so long I forgot. Camtasia has improved a lot and it replaced my video editing software. I use to make tutorials for my clients and this helps me create them in a professional way and make adjustments super quick.
I have a maintenance contract that may require more training from their agents. I had to explain a problem 3 times to finally have someone to watch over me. I was treated like a regular joe when I am paying a support contract. The third guy really replied and followed me up. The first 2 guys didn't even care much.
Pros
it's aimed to videotutorial creators. Easy to use, fast to edit videos, very comfortable to work with
Cons
Some details like the fonts outlines that end up as little boxes around each letter and some features that should work better like the templates to have all the fonts and colors on the whole project... well that doesn't work.

Simple to mid-tier video editing. Pros can try this one too.
Great! I've used Camtasia in few of my straightforward video editing projects with a client. It's pretty sleek and clean to use. Highly recommended for video learning and vloggers.
Pros
- Camtasia is more cleaner and more seamless than any other simple video editing software. Though, again, this is not for pro and die-hard video editor.- Simple to use with dedicated learning modules. So, easy to learn.- Capture audio/video and add up voice-over - all-in-one with Camtasia.- Highly recommended for UX Designer during usability testing. This can record screen and audio output/input from test subjects.- YouTube upload is seamless as well.
Cons
- More often video output are large. And if you lower the size, the quality suffers. I hope Camtasia has fixed or improve on this one.- If you buy this. Though you can have a perpetual ownership of the software - the update maybe not. Currently, it's like $50 per year for the support and updates.- Not for Pro users who are fond of exceptional effects and motion graphics.- You need separate audio mixer and editor for this one. No inbound audio editor and filter.

Decent, but inferior to its competitors
It's a decent tool if you need decent-quality results quickly and for free. If you're looking for something professional there are way better alternatives, some of which are free.
Pros
Camtasia is relatively easy to use and allows for decent results. It comes with a free trial.
Cons
Features on the trial version are very limited compared to its competitors, including free ones, and the price for a license is quite high (again, compared to its competitors)

Camtasia Software Suite Review
Camtasia excels in a lot of areas versus its competition in video editing/recording. This platform allows users to record and create professional videos is a very efficient manner. Users can direct share created video files on virtually all social media platforms. I can see this particularly useful for gamers who want to upload a multitude of clips often. The annotations and animations are two features that stand out as different from the competition. Customer Service is also great and responsive including a variety of tutorials which assist in making it even more user friendly.
Pros
The ease at which you can conduct video editing using Camtasia versus a lot of other competitors.
Cons
The template options are great but not a lot of variety unless you pay more for the upgrade

Camtasia is an excellent program that is suitable for all computers
My experience is excellent, but it is not enough when you reach a stage in which you must develop in your work, editing videos and marketing, and the program, as I said, does not contain all of it featuresI recommend it to people who have a small budget at the beginning stage, content creators on YouTube and work in general on the Internet
Pros
basicValid for all computers, it does not require high specifications to be in a computerSupports all video quality formatsIt has the advantage of publishing a video from Camtasia directly to your YouTube channelLicense paid once per year, not every monthEvery time it evolves
Cons
It does not have all the featuresAnything that is not in a download program must be downloaded from sourcesIts disadvantage is that it is not possible, for example, for one license to occupy more than one user, only for one user in one licenseThere are no big discounts
