With such a long history, TechSmith has done a great job of constantly pushing the development limits while keeping the software relatively bug-free. Both have been around since 2011, although earlier and slightly different versions of the software existed before then for both platforms. The program (formerly known as Camtasia Studio) has a long development history for the PC, and its success prompted TechSmith to put out a Mac version as well.

It provides a good balance of control, well-designed user interface and high-quality output that makes it perfect for videographers and web content producers who need their videos to look professional and unique.

JP’s tweet complimenting the TechSmith tutorials Camtasia FAQsĬamtasia is a professional-grade video editor for Windows and Mac. You can see his purchase history below, and the tweet which was posted three years ago. He tried a couple of video editing tools before finally selecting Camtasia, and he has been happy working with it since. He first used the program when he was assigned a task to make video tutorials for a mobile app. Meanwhile, JP has been using Camtasia for Mac since August 2015. They have no stake in the review and I did not receive any special consideration from them for writing it, so I am completely unbiased in my opinions. I have worked with TechSmith products in the past, but TechSmith has had no editorial input or review of the content here.

As a part of my training as a graphic designer, I spent time learning the ins and outs of both motion graphics and the software that creates them, including their UI and UX design. I’ve worked with a wide range of video editing software in the past, from small open source transcoders to industry-standard software such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects. Also, Camtasia added a number of new features such as brand new assets and theming. Now it goes with Camtasia 2020, for both PC and Mac versions. Previously, the Windows version was called Camtasia Studio. TechSmith has finally changed the naming system of Camtasia for consistency. Update Note: This Camtasia review has been revamped for freshness and accuracy.
