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.

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.

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.

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.
