Camtasia Reviews & Product Details

I keep coming back to it. It's so easy to use, and it's extremely quick to make rapid and make changes to your video. It's extremely easy to integrate existing video materials in and it accepts a breadth of video files and formats. You can also clip out audio out of a video by exporting audio only, and the wealth of transition options means you can make a professionally edited clip in minutes. Great for TikToks too. The one time I had to contact customer support, they were very helpful and got my install sorted quickly. I love that you can buy Camtasia for a one-time fee currently too. Please don't become entirely subscription based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Camtasia sometimes has frustrating performance issues, and on occasion, your video preview and turn black for a certain portion of the video, making it difficult to edit. This is an issue that doesn't go away upon closing it, so if you really need to edit that little segment that goes black, you have to restart the project or reprocure the original video file to avoid corruption.

Sometimes there are issues with larger file sizes not rendering properly or causing the application to become slow or glitchy. However, this was more an issue with Camtasia 2021 and earlier versions. Camtasia 2024 has made a lot of improvements to help prevent these issues, including using proxy videos while editing. Proxy videos are much smaller file sizes, allowing the editor to work more seamlessly. It would be nice if the proxy videos were less blurry when working with them in the editor, though.

I use Camtasia as both a technical writer and as a content creator for my company. As a technical writer, I use it to create GIF animations to enhance workflow articles. As a content creator I have been using it to create videos for my company.

The ease of use for editing is exceptional. I can implement multiple features to make my videos and GIFs professional looking and it makes our company look good. I use it a very frequently for content creation so I'm in it a lot. It is very straight forward to use and I appreciate how quickly I can produce content. Camtasia integrates into my workflow and content creation very fluidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I have had issues with is how it saves video files after initial setup. I have not been able to change where the files save since I set it up. I do not like them automatically saving to my company's cloud software. And I have not been able to find a way to change it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Camtasia simplifies video editing without compromising on quality, delivering professional-grade results with ease. Its intuitive tools and versatile features make it an excellent choice for creating tutorials, presentations, and online content. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced editor, Camtasia’s user-friendly interface and powerful capabilities allow you to produce polished videos in multiple formats effortlessly.

Compared to professional-grade software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, Camtasia lacks advanced features such as multi-camera editing, in-depth color grading, motion tracking, and 3D effects. The timeline editing capabilities are more basic, making it less suitable for complex video production projects. Regardless, its practical and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone who creates instructional videos, I thought I was a decent speaker—until Audiate came along and revealed just how often my brain takes mini vacations with "um" as its default placeholder. It's like having a brutally honest friend who politely deletes all your awkward pauses and filler words, leaving your videos sounding polished and professional.

The Speech-to-Text feature is equally brilliant. It's not just a tool—it’s my new quality control assistant. Reviewing the transcripts ensures I haven’t missed a single key point, and it’s a lifesaver for fine-tuning my content.

If you're in the business of creating videos or podcasts and want to sound like you've got it together (even when you don’t), Audiate is your go-to. Trust me, your audience will thank you—and you’ll thank yourself for sounding this good. It works almost seamlessly with Camtasia.

P.S. You’ll also gain a newfound appreciation for the art of silence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If forced to nitpick, maybe I’d say that Audiate is too good at its job—now I know just how much I overuse "um," and I can’t unhear it. But hey, that’s a me problem, not an Audiate problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The combination of Camtasia and Audiate is fantastic. I hate the way my voice sounds on training videos. With Camtasia and Audiate I can write a script, have an AI voice read it, automatically generate captions, and then add my video recordings on top of it. The effects library is easy to use. Simple things like adding reflections on screen recordings and having animated backgrounds give the videos a pop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that you need to switch between three applications (camtasia, audiate, and snagit) for different components of each project. I would love it if all of the features were in a single application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a content creator who produces tutorials for my YouTube channel, I need a reliable and user-friendly screen recording and video editing tool. Camtasia has been my go-to software for years, and I love it! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned content creator, it’s a worthwhile investment that makes the video production process super easy!

I wish there was an AI feature like in Descript that fixes your gaze at the camera. They call it Beta eye contact. It allows you to read your script but then makes it look like in post like you weren't reading at all. It's very cool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Camtasia is used for all of our video's for all the articles we create for our users. It's very easy to use, and pick up. Implementation of the app is just as easy. I never have to reach out to customer support as I get navigate and figure it out on my own. Their self help guides do the trick. We frequently use the app daily. All the awesome features it has if more then enough to get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say more options when exporting videos as Gifs but nothing I can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have really enjoyed getting familiar with the Camtasia editing platform, and have found it to be intuitive to use - even for someone who is not trained in video editing. I use it fairly frequently, and have found it easy to find locate supporting information to assist me with learning more about things I don't immediately know how to do. I like the ease in which I can upload my projects in different formats or to different destinations. I think the pricing is appropriate for the capabilities, and plan to continue using it as my primary video editing tool at the office and at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe some of the graphic tools or elements are a bit rudimentary or old-fashioned, so I have not really utilized those things. I would also like to see better tools for editing color, clarity, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though it is a software with many options and features, it is not necessary to master all those in order to be able to produce high quality videos. I have been using Camtasia for producing my videos since 2008 and the company keeps updating and improving the sofware. Over time a lot of new functions were added without encumbering its usage. It is only getting better and the speed of processing improved a lot and now it saves me much time. I also like a lot the ability to add markers wherever I want on the timeline and create that invaluable menu that helps my subscribers. If I need to edit or cut out something, it is very easy and very precise, it allows you to pinpoint the exact section you want to delete or move.

Over the years I had several times issues with the software where I needed help and the customer support did not let me down. They were prompt and consistent in their handing of my questions. All issues I had were resolved to my full satisfaction.

I produce at least 5 videos per week. Videos of about 45-60 minutes each. I came to trust the quality and reliablility of the software early on and I have not been let down by sudden or unfortunate crashes. It is also easy to refer back to projects that I did and recover or select sections to be used again in other contexts.

Once the video is ready for uploading to my website, it is an easy and a smooth process. There are various options to upload the end product.

So I would not hesitate to recommend this software to anyone seeking a robust, yet intuitive and flexible software that has plenty of options to prepare even highly elaborate visual presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the current version, I have not noticed any problematic features or drawbacks. There were some issues in past versions but the company worked on them. It is a company that listens to its cusomers.

One aspect that I have not investigated fully but may be a shortcoming is that if one goes back over a decade and a tried to run old videos recorded with older versions, you might run into problems if you try to access and play those old files with the latest version. I guess this is a normal thing in our high tech, fast progressing world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
