Bad License/Keys/Install System Trying to do my duty because I use reviews often. The software itself is not bad but installing it and managing the license keys and maintenance is horrible. My advice is to stay away from all products offered by TechSmith.

Best applications for screenshots and screen capture (Review for SnagIt and Camtasia) These 2 applications by this company are among the best in their genre. Snagit contains all that you need to create professional-looking screenshots with many tools for annotation, cropping, and editing that can help a lot. I use it both for quick screenshot cropping to send with instant messages AND professional screenshots to send to my staff on how to do things with the computers. Camtasia is also the best screen capture I've ever used, can create quick and professional-looking training videos, with also many tools for annotating and adding effects on videos, sounds, and mixing. I own both these software, with their respective maintenance agreement to always have latest versions. Their price is not low as some expect, but the ease of use makes them worth every penny.

Been using Camtasia on and off for 10… Been using Camtasia on and off for 10 years.The software is nice and easy to use. Most recently subscribed to the 2023 version, which crashed and reverted to a trial version. Support is pretty hopeless so far. Apparently, they need time to sort it. I'm not hopeful looking at some of the other comments on here. (Gave it one star) Three hours later: I'm now with the third support person. I guess at least they are trying. Another three hours later: (changed to four stars) I must say, Techsmiths have redeemed themselves somewhat by fixing the situation very quickly when the right person arrived at the crash site. Huge thanks to Anthony for sorting it out quickly and painlessly I just hope this crazy error was a one-off.

Snag It and Camtasia I like their Snagit tool and Camtasia. I find them both easy to use, especially for those who need only intermediate capabilities. I use Snagit to capture screenshots and instruction graphics for our help center and Camtasia to do basic editing on webinar recordings. Works for my needs although their programs do crash occasionally and have bugs, I find I just need to exit the program entirely and restart it on my computer and that usually does the trick.

Snagit keeps crashing In theory, Snagit seems like a great program. The problem is, Snagit constantly crashes. I now call this program crashit! I cannot waste any more of my precious time trying to make this software work. I canceled my annual maintenance agreement. I have moved onto another screen capture program.
