What do you like best about TechSmith Capture?

Super easy interface that allows you to record screens and do voice over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TechSmith Capture?

I would love to go back to a point to keep recording (eliminate the dog bark etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TechSmith Capture:

very simple screen capture and recording - but of course its simplicity is a downfall when you get comfortable and want to have additional options. Super great change from jing (no max recording time and the links always play regardless of PC, apple, phone platform!). I own snagit! three other screen capture/video editing software but use capture almost exclusively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TechSmith Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to train people on how to whether it's clients or my team and to show people issues with websites etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TechSmith Capture?

It is easy to take screenshots and record everything displayed on the computer screen. It comes in handy when those details are needed for future reference. Other tools provide almost similar solutions like that of TechSmith Capture. But the platform in TechSmith Capture is user-friendly and easier to understand. The image and video quality is stunning too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TechSmith Capture?

The features of TechSmith Capture are beyond excellent.

Some notable changes I came across are:

The video and the image should be made available in all formats.

While sharing the video, since the video quality is impeccable, the size exceeds the maximum file limit. So it would be great if there was an option to reduce the file size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TechSmith Capture:

TechSmith Capture makes life a little easier by capturing screenshots and recording content that can be used for future reference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TechSmith Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

TechSmith Capture allows the user to screen record content displayed on the computer screen. During ongoing meetings or Knowledge transfer sessions, it is tough to follow up sometimes and remember everything discussed or mentioned in the call. So by recording the session, it makes the job more manageable since the user can watch the video again in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TechSmith Capture?

Commonly, screencast tools come with a tag price and heavy installation. Techsmith Capture is an exception. It is lightweight compared with the commercial software out there. Furthermore, it is free and modern enough to capture any moments on your screen with the latest video format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TechSmith Capture?

It's quick and easy with one major problem. The software is too tight with Screencast and Knowmia solution. Furthermore, you don't have a way to edit further, just like Snagit. But this disadvantage is not really matter since this sofware is FREE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TechSmith Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

Techsmith Capture helps us to do quick screencasts or screen capture. Creating a quick demo on your laptop or a screenshot for your user manual will be supported by Techsmith Capture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TechSmith Capture?

What I appreciate about TechSmith Capture is that it employs degrees to produce a high-quality, clear, and exact screenshot, which has been very useful in my job. I can even cover confidential details using Callouts and focus details with the use of Shapes and Arrows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TechSmith Capture?

I'm not sure if it's just my device, but it takes specifically 27 seconds for the app to launch after I click it. I had to click a few more times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TechSmith Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had a problem with taking precise shots before but with TechSmith Capture it's now easier. It benefited me in the way that I am able to work with my tasks swiftly with the assurance of high-quality shots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TechSmith Capture?

The thing that I like with TechSmith would be the one where you are able to either do a screenshot or do a screen record with audio. It also allows you to edit your screenshot with many features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TechSmith Capture?

I think I don't actually dislike anything with TechSmith :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TechSmith Capture:

Pick what is comfier for you but check out TechSmith Capture. It makes doing screenshots much easier and also video recordings too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TechSmith Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

TechSmith Capture has solved the problems of providing more features in doing screenshots. Rather the usual snipping tool of Windows or other platforms, this tool has allowed to directly edit the shot and also record the whole screen as a video too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TechSmith Capture?

I do really like the video recording option included in this screen capturing software. That's a TechSmith way of Screen Grabber. I do also like the magnifier functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TechSmith Capture?

To be honest.. It's not an easy way like print screen or snipping tool. I feel that the complication is in the reliability. I was searching for the recorded video footage. It would be nicer if we had a separate location that stores that footage, and we could use them anywhere further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TechSmith Capture solving and how is that benefiting you?

I feel that if we are using TechSmith Camtasia already, then there won't be a need for TechSmith Capture. As we know, Camtasia can be relied upon solely for its required purposes. Benefits are the cool features, at the same time they are not problem solvers unless if it is reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sound editing in camtasia in inferior to other video editing software. Implementating user interaction is clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
