Camtasia

Vorteile

Einfach zu bedienen, nicht zu überladen, bietet alle Funktionen, die ich für meine YouTube-Videos, Buch-Trailer und Promotion-Videos benötige.

Nachteile

Manchmal etwas langsam, inbesondere beim Scrollen in der Mediathek (mein Laptop ist neu und sehr schnell, daran kann es nicht liegen)

Vorteile

Das Programm hat viele praktische Werkzeuge, um Tutorials zu erstellen.

Nachteile

Wirklich nichts zu beklagen. Stimmt alles.

Vorteile

Das Produkt ist alltagstauglich und ausgreift.

Nachteile

Bei den Texten vermisse ich die Scollfunktion.

Vorteile

It's extremely easy to create videos, capture the screen, and edit the results of them. I've been using Camtasia since version 6, and the improvements have truly addressed my daily challenges. I've tried using other editing apps, but I couldn't find anything like this one. It's really comprehensive, focusing on features that truly matter. There are no unnecessary features. If you want to create informative, instructional, short marketing, or budget-friendly videos, then this is definitely your best option.

Nachteile

There are some memory limitations in projects that use a lot of effects or large video files. Therefore, when I have to edit a large video, I usually split the editing into parts and produce them separately. So, if you want to make videos longer than 10 minutes frequently, on a computer with less than 16GB of memory, Camtasia may not be the best option for you.

Vorteile

It is easy to learn, produces high-quality videos and has lots of effects already included that make the job faster. It has all the basic functions and some advanced ones and it has a great interface.

Nachteile

Even though it has lots of effects already included, if you do the same type of video again and again the selection becomes limited. The recorder only produces a huge file that needs to be opened in Camtasia and then exported, which makes long recordings very hard to manage. And, if the videos are too big, the software becomes jumpy, which doesn't happen with the same set of videos on a different editor.

Vorteile

I used to like how easy it was to use, and the quality of the videos I could produce. Not anymore...

Nachteile

Now the 2023 version of the program is so convoluted I can't get it to do any of the things I used to get it to do easily. Oh sure - the company wants me to spend hours on their website taking tutorials, but a long time user of the program should not have to do this, and it's time I do not have to spend every time they make a new release.

Vorteile

It was pretty easy to learn and could do the basics with no problem.

Nachteile

The additions of Proxy and other editing features made it cumbersome to get the normal editing completed that 2022 had.

Vorteile

Camtasia is easy to use and gives me what I need. Easy to make screen capture videos, edit and publish.

Nachteile

None - I don't need anything else. It is perfect the way it is.

Vorteile

I love the ease of use and one-time fee. It's a great way to get started in video editing for the average user.

Nachteile

Sometimes Camtasia crashes and the AI features I bought the upgrade for don't really work with pre-existing content.

Vorteile

Ease of use and being able to use Capture to sync with mobile devices.

Nachteile

There is nothing that really stands out that I don't like about this product.

Vorteile

It's great for editing existing videos or creating new ones. The timeline, once you get used to it, is simple and powerful.

Nachteile

Adding text to videos could be a lot easier. It takes quite a bit of time to figure out, especially if you're a non-training-video watcher. The encoding speed for the exported videos could use a boost.

Vorteile

I like that it can show which keys your using and you can give different effects to your mouse. Great for making tutorials!

Nachteile

It's quite expensive now that there are so many alternatives. I love loom for example, however Camtasia has a lot more options.

Warum Camtasia gewählt wurde

Vorteile

I've been using Camtasia Video Editor for over a year in my role in creating engaging user content - it's been a highly positive experience. Camtasia has proven to be an incredibly versatile tool for creating professional-looking videos with ease. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface makes it accessible even for beginners, yet it offers a wide range of advanced features for more experienced users. The built-in screen recording functionality is particularly useful for creating tutorials and presentations, allowing for seamless capture of on-screen activity. The library of pre-made assets, such as animations, music, and transitions, helps to quickly enhance video projects without needing extensive editing skills. Additionally, the ability to easily integrate voiceovers and synchronize audio with video has been a significant time-saver in producing polished content.

Nachteile

Editing captions is an absolute nightmare in Camtasia. Splitting/trying to sync up audio is awful. We ended up using OpenAI's Whisper and just not editing in Camtasia because it was so time consuming and the UI was so cumbersome.

Vorteile

Camtasia is easy to use, doesn't require a subscription, has good built-in animations and transitions, and does screen capture as well! It's a great tool that covers a lot of bases in the world of video creation/editing. Has excellent performance for the most part as well.

Nachteile

I've always wished the media bin was a resizable pane. I've worked around it by using structured file naming conventions for my media assets (of which I typically have a lot, since I mostly use Camtasia these days for video creation with text and graphics).

Vorteile

Ease of use. The ability to screen capture. Editing is straightforward. Captions are great tool.

Nachteile

Lack of taking advantage of social media

Vorteile

Easy to use, reliable, quick, and robust. When you don't have time to waste, and need to know that you will get solid results every time you click record, Camtasia is excellent.

Nachteile

It's on the pricey end, but then you really do get what you pay for. I've tried alternatives and they all fall short. So, while it's an outlay, it's worth it if you use it regularly (which I do)

Vorteile

Camtasia is easy to use and easy to understand. Video editing pros will be satisfied with the level of control that Camtasia offers, while newbies will appreciate how intuitive and uncomplicated all the basic actions are. Camtasia makes it easy to turn an idea into a rough demo in a very short amount of time, which is its best strength. This is a critical step in the creation process, so the benefit here can't be understated.

Nachteile

Though it's not lacking features or control, video editing pros and gurus will occasionally notice a small feature missing that more complex tools would have included. Also, simple animations are easy enough with Camtasia, but more complex animations are going to be laborious. Most users won't ever really run into that problem.

Vorteile

Camtasia is very easy to use. The software delivers on my needs to create system simulations and video creation.

Nachteile

The only Con is when using it on a Windows machine, the processing slows down. But On my Macbook Pro, is works really well.

Vorteile

I needed a product that was relatively easy to use and could produce high quality videos. Camtasia worked great for me. I produce videos for remote-learning students and found this product to be very useful. I am not very "tech-savvy", so found that Camtasia is fairly easy to learn and create.

Nachteile

The background colour remover is sometimes hard to use. I find that I have to struggle with it on occasions to remove the background and replace it with my alternative background.

Vorteile

It just works for capturing screen recordings and custom zones. I also love that I can select to record the system audio if I want to also capture that.

Nachteile

Having to install plugins or other things to record system audio on my Mac.

Vorteile

Camtasia is the best tool for what we do in providing training video for machine set up and maintenance simulator training. I am also a Premiere Pro and Final Cut User, but for training you guys are top notch. The call outs, annotations and simplicity are why we choose Camtasia for this type of work.

Nachteile

The only real feature I miss from my other products is the ease for white balance correction and color adjustment. I do not find it intuitive so often I will edit color in FCPX and then export back into Camtasia. I am sure with time, I could become proficient, but the addition of a luma graph, vectorscope, color wheels, white balance correction tools, etc. would be a great addition to me.

Vorteile

Camtasia is very user friendly. It easy to build your own video

Nachteile

The video size is to heavy. Hope they will correct it.

Vorteile

I love the ease of capturing AND then modifying or enhancing my old academic or scholarly Powerpoint presentation. Once I create them in Camtasia, they are easy to share on YouTube or Vimeo or in other ways, allowing some of my older but still significant or important work to be preserved and shared!

Nachteile

Initial learning curve was significant, but that's true of all powerful video capture and editing platforms I have used.

Vorteile

Being able to separate screen, mouse, and voiceover.

Nachteile

Extremely poor editing software. No way to play at 2x speed, program runs insanely slow, worse than After Effects, and each project gets worse the more edits you make. No way to do rolling edits, or select future clips easily. Sets-up projects at the incorrect aspect ratio by default, and then when you notice that further in your project, it's a pain in the butt to fix on each individual edit.

Vorteile

Cost
Easy of Use
Templates
Basic Features

Nachteile

Lack of assets
Cost of using their assets, better off, buying from another service.

Vorteile

Easy to record and edit. Great value for the price.

Nachteile

Audio editing is good for my purposes, but the ability to remove background noise could be improved.

Vorteile

Editing software works well. The easy of editing a clip is fairly simple.

Nachteile

Previous version of camtasia recording were fine. Latest version have issues with sound quality matching the video

Vorteile

I love the use of it. very easy to edit. wish there was an easy way to communicate changes when they are made to your clients

Nachteile

the changes without notification. it is alarming to go on the site and find that things have changed in the editing

Vorteile

Ease of use, layout, segmentation of video capture and editing into bite size chunks, tons of resources. I've been a user for over twenty years.

Nachteile

Sometimes there are too many features, it can be overwhelming. Although they're working on fixing that with simpler workflows built-in.

Vorteile

User friendly, easy to understand all option without prior knowledge of editing audio and videos. Easy to export high quality videos for your all social media platforms.

Nachteile

Full annual renewal for updates, updates should be available on less for users

Vorteile

Ease of use but losts of advanced settings for more experienced users.
Can caputer the screen and your camera/audio at the same time.
Lots of customizations, including capturing a piece of screen, video effects (e.g. blurring sensitive data) as well as easy editing.
Great effect with little effort.

Nachteile

It needs lots of resources on the machine, even for a video editing software. Additionally, rendering will take some time on a regular laptop.
Some options, such as the library I found unintuitive to use.

Vorteile

Camtasia has allowed me to quickly transition to the video editing world and make creative content that is both educational and stimulating. The staff at Tech Smith is always making refinements, which gives me the confidence to continue learning and creating.

Nachteile

There is no formal way to request features through the software.

Vorteile

I appreciate the simplicity and ease of initiating recordings with Camtasia. It's fantastic for quick editing without distractions. The audio capture feature stands out, especially for voiceover work and syncing with music—something not commonly found in other editing software. I've also had a positive experience with the file-sharing capabilities.

Nachteile

While I'm satisfied with many aspects of Camtasia, I feel that the recording speed could be improved to match that of NVIDIA's screen recorder. The quality of recordings also has room for enhancement to reach similar standards. Additionally, I believe the color grading features could be more extensive, even in the newer versions, and I would welcome advancements like face detection and beautification tools to elevate the editing process further.

Vorteile

1) The hot spot feature, it's something other tools just don't have.
2) Camtasia has pre-built features that other tools don't have, you can just do things much faster in Camtasia than what it takes me to do in Premiere and Final Cut.
3) TechSmith has made a lot of smart decisions by creating a video editor that most people can learn how to use in a short amount of time. Albeit that Camtasia is not the most advanced video editing platform but it doesn't have to be, it's perfect for the average person who needs to do some video editing. This is why I love Camtasia, I can ramp up new video editors quickly. Even my advanced video editor now sings the praises of Camtasia, he complained at first but now even he sees the light.

Nachteile

We have pushed Camtasia to where it breaks with too many layers, yes I know the workarounds but this could be improved upon. I'm a little concerned about the EOL of the HTML output, please don't lose that feature because it's super important for the hot spot feature.

Vorteile

Easy to get in and do screen captures and video editing. A growing library of cool animations, templates, and effects that they continually add to. Quick tools that are easy to learn to do a lot of effects that are dangerously close to pro platforms like adobe and final cut, only without the massive rendering time etc.

Nachteile

Some of the effects are a little cheap looking, but the library of options continues to grow. Sometimes the crashes and bugs are annoying, but I've seen that in the big programs as well. ESPECIALLY FINAL CUT PRO

Vorteile

I find Camtasia afordable and overall functional - and having a permanent license is something I enjoy a lot - for short ownership of product is something I like a lot - and I think that is some of the coolest things about Camtasia.

Nachteile

In general, Camtasia is a great software, if it would not be laggy anymore, I think this would take over a lot of other products out there, so if there would be someone on product - defineltly focus on the functionality aspect of things, make it work smooth. If Camtasia would work smooth I think the number of users would start growing, other features I would keep on hold - do small improvements here and there. I would prioritize smoothness of editing - loading of assets and overall day to day operations on it. I would also probalby split the Camtasia Software as a base for editing and I would create a monetizeable library of assets for it - powered by community - with microtransactions where Camtasia keeps a certain percentage and commnunity can make money as well. This way there would be community engagement and new assets or even add-ons for editing different things.

Vorteile

Camtasia has been improving a lot over the years and is still offered at a reasonable price. For me, this is a very good mark of quality in a company. I want to be able to trust and rely on a company when I invest time and money to learn their product and get comfortable with. Camtasia is a company that offers me that.
Some online tools might have become more intuitive and easy to use but they don't offer reliable technical support and other services so critical to my work. I like working with Camtasia and I trust the product.

Nachteile

A few years ago, the software was not so stable and was crashing on a regular basis. This very rarely happens now and I never loose anything. So again, they have invested effort in improvement and they listen to their customers' needs.

Vorteile

Camtasia is used frequenty, every week, but often daily. More than a hobbiest, it is a principal tool in my video editing toolbox.

Nachteile

I am not a fan of the available navigation tools for timeline editing, but with frequent use, I have my workarounds. I would not want to be without the program.

Vorteile

Ease of use always!!! Even if I don’t use it for awhile when I return to using it there’s no huge learning barrier to become reacquainted.

Second would be price. It was not cost prohibitive like some others.

Nachteile

I don’t have anything. There are no dislikes from me.

Vorteile

I love how easy it is to use. People who knows zero about video edition or Camtasia can use it within minutes of tutorials.
It's a powerfull tool that I use about 10 years already and can see how improved it is.

Nachteile

The cost, but it's a local problem, because for us in Brazil is a high cost. But overall, it worth the pay.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Camtasia

Vorteile

It's easy to use, and it does a great job of all the basic things you need it to do.

Nachteile

The only quibble I have at all is that the mobile app (Capture) is buggy. When it works it's super useful, but it frequently doesn't work for me, which has caused me major heartache at times. It's gotten to the point where I no longer use it, as I can't afford to lose work. The downside of this is that, while I can use my iPhone's native screen recording feature, 1) that has its own bugs, namely that if I record for longer than a few minutes it'll freeze, and 2) it doesn't record sound. The only reason the sound recording aspect of Capture is useful to me when the app is working is that it allows me to visually sync my desktop and mobile Capture tracks. Basically, when I'm including mobile content in a video, it's usually overlaid on top of a desktop background. I use a condenser mic to capture high quality audio, so I don't even use the audio from the Capture app in the finished product, but it's useful to have, because I can separate the audio and video from the Capture track and visually line up the audio with the audio from my condenser mic. So this just makes my editing process a little easier. It's not that big a deal, definitely not a deal-breaker, but it would be nice if they'd address it at some point.

Vorteile

Camtasia stands out for its intuitive user interface and robust editing features, which allow for seamless video creation and editing. I particularly appreciate the versatility in handling both simple and complex projects, which makes it ideal for a range of tasks from quick edits to detailed video productions. The integration of screen recording with video editing in one platform is a game changer, enhancing productivity significantly.

Nachteile

While Camtasia is highly effective, it can be resource-intensive on less powerful computers, occasionally leading to slower rendering times. Planning out rendering times and ensuring that other resource intensive processes are not running (like Microsoft Teams) is essential to limit the time for rendering.

Vorteile

The ability to edit video was a total game-changer. Otherwise, I may as well just post videos recorded with a phone camera. It allows my videos to be infinitely better than they would be otherwise. The timeline-style editing is great and I now think in those terms when recording.

Nachteile

The 2023 version is not as stable as the old version I had. The old version NEVER crashed (okay, maybe once in five years). 2023… has been known to choke when I try to use and edit large recordings. Have also had some problems with the license key sometimes just… going away and the system not accepting my license key when I re-enter it. Extremely annoying. I’ve had the new version since Nov. and this problem happens about every two months so far.

Vorteile

Camtasia is intuitive. It's pretty easy to understand how to get samples into the editor, how to cut scenes, how to stack videos and audio. There are a lot of audio and video effects that are obvious as to how to use them and what they do. The barriers to entry are very low. And it's a decent price for the capabilities.

Nachteile

The new "Background Removal" is not great (moving around causes flickering). A long-time complaint is a lack of Video Titling. No easy way to time-reverse a snippet. Chromakey (remove color) doesn't work well.

Vorteile

The best thing I like about Camtasia is that it always stays up to date with video creation trends, so that you can always create relevant videos.

Nachteile

If there's a failing, it's simply the learning curve. But really, that's not a failing. It's only because there are so many cool features that it can take a while before you get into the swing of video creation. Once learnt though, it becomes a breeze.

Vorteile

It's the only tool I've tried that is easy to use and has all the features I'm ever likely to need.

Nachteile

Since moving to a faster computer I also have a Hi-Res screen. It's very disappointing that Camtasia has not been updated to support hi-res screens and user experience was better for me on the old computer even if it was slow.

Vorteile

Camtasia makes it incredibly easy to record my screen and webcam simultaneously, and the built-in editing tools are powerful enough to create professional-looking videos without any complexity.

Nachteile

The rendering process can be a bit slow, especially for longer videos with high resolutions.

Vorteile

It's optimized for creating videos in which screen recordings of software usage predominate.

Nachteile

Little things, like the inability to reverse a clip (i.e. play it backwards on the timeline). The ability to export the audio to an external program, edit it there, then bring it back in, would be amazing too.

Vorteile

I especially like the ease of use, professional product look, and impact. You can find free online products that say they produce professional results, but it isn't true. The other issue is the optional add-ons like symbols and photo libraries. You can save your photos and logos within the library.

Nachteile

Short learning curve but like anything that looks professional it takes a bit of time to become proficient.

Vorteile

Well, I started the use of Camtasia about ten years ago and I was astonished how easy was to learn the use of. Besides, upon a few clicks anything were set just out of the box and I could create my first course about video-editing. It's a great software to create a video from a high quality screen capture.

Nachteile

The price it's the mayor con! If you can afford it and the updates then the cost value the quality. The second con is that you need a lot of memory to get a smooth work. If do you have 32 GB RAM can work fine without problem. No other con from my experience.
