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.

Camtasia 2023 crashes on AMD constantly. I've been a Camtasia user now for several years and pay for their maintenance service (for free updates). Honestly, it's an excellent video editor for ease of use. However, even after several updates the current edition (2023), is a lag and crash fest on my AMD 7800X3D powered, 64 GB, RTX 3090. Just a few assets on the timeline causes freezes, and then crashes. I'm fortunate that being a long time customer I still have access to some previous editions, so I'm stuck using Camtasia 2022, which is running perfectly for me. Techsmith also seem to ignore, or even delete, forum messages reporting this issue. They deleted my forum posts when I report these problems, so they try to cover this up.

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.

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.

Mediocre Customer Support Camtasia will respond but expect it to take 24-48 hours, which can be a long wait if you're working on a project with a deadline. Also, their responses are not very personal or detailed regarding the specifics of your question(s) and are usually just a link to watch a video. Quite disappointed.
