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?

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.

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

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.

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.
