See the video above for an example of what can be done with Camtasia, or my school YouTube channel for lots more examples. It does tend to get easier the more you use, but it can be a little daunting at first. This post production can be time consuming and tends to turn your screencast into a bit of a production rather than just a quick capture, however it is very powerful. A key feature is being able to zoom and pan in the video in post production, allowing you to zoom into details like dialog boxes, menus, etc. The big difference with Camtasia is the ability to not only edit the screen captured video but to add other video annotations, transition effects, overlays, etc.

The Windows version is slightly more full featured than the Mac version but both are very good and will do retty much everything you need. It offers a large number of recording and postproduction options. When you really want to get serious about video screencasting, Camtasia is THE tool to use. Overall, it offers a lot more features and options than Snagit for Chrome.Ĭamtasia Studio (Windows) & Camtasia for Mac (Mac)

Snagit has full Drive integration, and can also be configured to upload directly to a variety of other destinations, including, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, FTP, Email, Evernote and Camtasia.
