Camtasia Reviews & Product Details

The tutorials are very helpful with the learning curve in Camtasia. There are plenty of options available for different editing to fit my style. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The hardest part for me was the learning curve in using Camtasia. Once I understood it, things were much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Camtasia is extremely easy to use. When I'm creating something, whether it's a video or a quick social media post, it's just so user-friendly. It's not difficult to get started or to keep using it. I can create a video very quickly, especially when I'm in a hurry. It's quick and easy to get started, and that makes it very valuable to me.

I think if they have more creative templates available, their audience would be a little larger. I know some of their templates are basic, so I find myself not using those very often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to use for both simple and complex workflows, and it lets me adjust the messaging I need in my videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it’s feature-rich, I do wish there were a purchase option instead of only a subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I teach math and use Camtasia to record and edit video lessons for my students. I like the editing features most because I do not need to re-record an entire video when I make a mistake at the very end (some test reviews will be 60-90 minutes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much I dislike. I have had to "google" how to do some editing in Camtasia, but I didn't read any getting started information before starting to record and edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to get started. I've tried other video editing programs before, but they were confusing to use. I decided to try again when i had to create some training videos. The breakdown of tracks and letting me drop & drag parts on top of each other is so easy. I can record a video of me training or upload a powerpoint and have it generate the audio (my favorite part). I was able to crank out several videos in one day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can get a little sluggish with large projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Camtasia is intuitive, and I’ve found it works well for users at all skill levels—not just instructional designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app lags and I keep running into issues with downloads. I’m also frustrated that the quiz results summary was removed. On mobile, downloads don’t seem to work properly, and I’ve noticed audio distortion as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very user friendly. I can cut, splice, separate audio and video and import a PowerPoint to start the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything I dislike. It works well for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to break out Camtasia with Audiate. The AI ingestion is fantastic. After finding online training, I found working in both modules very intuitive. I have had zero issues with performance. I have used this to create professional quality videos so the ROI is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest challenge is that I'm not in it enough to remember what to do each time. This is not a limitation of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still believe that Camtasia is probably the fastest way to go from "idea" to "video" -- certainly it's the way that non-power users will find most intuitive. That ease-of-use does not come at the price of precision, and experienced users will find it easy get exactly what they want. Exports are easy and some built-in functionality (w/ Camtasia's smart player export option) will delight users who need to drop their videos somewhere outside of a CMS but retain key functionality (like chapters). Camtasia has made small improvements to the general UI and workflow have boosted my overall production speed and I'm generally pleased overall with how much I can do at such a high velocity. Additionally, thought I'm not a Camtasia Rev user (does not fit my use case), I appreciate having it in my back pocket if I would ever need to dramatically shift gears.

Animations are a big part of taking the dynamism of your video to the next level, and though Camtasia's "motion path" tool is adequate, it's not exactly slick. Also, I occasionally wish that Camtasia had some better text editing features, though I can appreciate why this hasn't been TechSmith's priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Camtasia for internal training, external training videos, product demos, and marketing videos. It significantly reduces training time for clients. I like its ease of use and the extensive library of tutorials and webinars, which allow me to learn at my own pace and eliminate the need for support tickets on how to do something. The initial setup was 'easy peasy', making it my first choice without considering alternatives. I also find it helpful that Camtasia integrates with Snagit and Audiate.

Sometimes Camtasia crashes after an update. There may also be little bugs that I'm not aware of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
