Pros

“The ability to record interactively, import existing content in terms of audio files, images, and videos easily supports branding and pre-existing media. ”

Jamie N.

Trainer and Administrator

“Pricing is absolutely reasonable for what you get out of it, starting as low as approximately $50 CAD per year for basic tools, up to $825 CAD per year for their AI-enabled suite which includes all their stock assets, transcript generation, multi-language support, and much more”

Jamie N.

Trainer and Administrator

“It helps me produce client-ready software overviews much faster than traditional video editors do, and features like cursor smoothing and callouts add a polished, professional feel without requiring a lengthy editing process.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

Pros

“I like being able to create custom workspaces, save presets for exports, and quickly reuse transitions and title templates across different projects.”

Edwin V.

DEV Manager

“The built-in audio tools reduce the need for separate editing software, and the color grading options produce professional-looking results without requiring advanced knowledge. Although I occasionally run into bugs or performance slowdowns, especially on complex projects, the software continues to improve with regular updates.”

Edwin V.

DEV Manager

“Customer support has been helpful whenever I searched Adobe's documentation or community forums, and security updates are released regularly, giving me confidence that the software stays reliable. While the subscription is not cheap and you can not buy 1 time amount, I feel the value for money is reasonable if you edit videos frequently or professionally because of the number of advanced features included.”

Edwin V.

DEV Manager

Cons

“It also lacks the advanced editing capabilities you find in other software similar to it.”

Jean-Pierre N.

Instructional Designer

“The audio recording is terrible, I don't like how the license is tied in with a version so in order to collaborate across teams, everyone has to be on identical versions, I also don't love having to edit an old Camtasia project as a project file has a ton of directories associated and can get corrupted very easily.”

Monica B.

Product Manager

“Oh, and one of the worst things I experienced so far is, that in one of my Camtasia recordings, my voice kept recording but the screen simply stopped recording.”

Leon R.

Corporate Document Engineer and Accessibility Specialist

Cons

“At times the software slows down when working on larger projects, that slow-down tends to interrupt my workflow on tight deadlines.”

Yasser A.

Graphic Designer

“Adobe Creative Cloud can be a bit...needy. And frankly I wish I could buy the product without the cloud integration.”

Matt B.

Editor and Producer

“In addition, I believe that colour grading is not as good as in other leading software products and may be described as ‘okay’.”
