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 have spent 10 years working with… I have spent 10 years working with company. The software is horrible. They sold me on their latest version the 2023 application because the other version kept crashing. What a waste of money and time! Camtasia crashed 15 times and I can’t open the project. They couldn’t restore it. I wasted months getting this done. I’ve spent 24 hours working on this (only getting 3 hours of sleep) only for the new version that I just paid for to crash yet again and now I am out of weeks worth in of content. I should have stuck with Premier Pro! Do not use this company unless you want to lose important information, especially if you are a business.

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.

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.

The "support" side of the website is… The "support" side of the website is horrible - no clue if your ticket went through - an email saying "Welcome to TechSmith Support. In order for your ticket to be responded to by a support agent, you must click the link below to create a password and login." (even though im already logged in and the link doesnt do anything - the my ticket option doesnt show any live tickets - the "chat" support widget doesnt even work, just keeps "loading", and im using chrome horrible support website
