I've been a Snagit customer for years I've been a Snagit customer for years; it is a great alternative to more expensive products (like Adobe) if you don't have heavy graphics demands. I primarily take screenshots and draw system architecture diagrams for tech docs, so I'm not doing intensive photo editing by any means. Never crashed. I've used Camtasia for the past two years. It does seem a little buggy - I get a wierd black screen randomly when I clip video segments, and the file size it produces seem unnecessarily large. Also, the media directory isn't relative to the project, so if you move a project around you have to relink all your media. But I would still recommend it as a product for video production - again, not a power user by any means. Customer support is just fine - sometimes they can help, and sometimes they cant!

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.

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.

Techsmith deleted all our videos. Techsmith deleted all our videos....We are a small educational organization that made some interactive videos with Camtasia. Because they used interactive features, we hosted them on techsmith's website. During the pandemic they sent us a message saying that all videos that hadn't been accessed in a year would be deleted. We thought we were fine because there are teachers who use our videos every semester. Then they deleted the videos anyway. When I contacted customer support, they told us there was nothing they could do. Bottom line: don't trust TechSmith to host your videos.

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.
