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.

I can't live without SnagIt I can't live without SnagIt, it's almost in constant use and have been buying the latest and greatest versions for over 3 years now. When version 2019 came out, I upgraded and it kept crashing, but Techsmith's wonderful support team leapt into action and sorted it out quick smart. What more do you want from a software company?

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.

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.

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.
