Pros

“It records in the counts of 1-2-3 from virtually any screen with perfect capture quality—no hazy lines, lapses, or out-of-sync audio.”

Rahul V.

Head

“The free version allows users to record only 15 minutes of video and put watermarks on all recorded videos.”

Jean-Pierre N.

Instructional Designer

“You could see the areas without sound so you could easily cut them or record voice over them.”

Ginger D.

Educational Development Manager

Pros

“The integration with Camtasia is another advantage, since it gives me a straightforward path from quick captures to more polished video content when I need it.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

“Snagit has helped me create documentation faster, produce training materials more efficiently, and communicate issues or recommendations to clients with less back-and-forth.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

“I can quickly add callouts, annotations, highlights, and other visual cues without opening a more complex design application.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

Cons

“Sometimes it is not intuitive and a bit cumbersome. When wanting to edit recordings, sometimes it feels like we have to go the long way around the barn in order to get to the actual recording.”

Lauri R.

Instruction Coordinator

“Well I don't like change and when Screencast-o-matic switched over to Screen Pal I had to relearn how to use it. But in the end its twice as fast to drop and drag all my content into the story board.”

Cindy J.

Content Creator

“One of my biggest cons would pertain to layering of edits made during video editing.”

Mill D.

Program Manager

Cons

“As a solo consultant, I pay close attention to software costs, and while I use Snagit enough to justify the expense, the price still feels a bit high for a tool with a fairly focused use case.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

“I'd just like to be able to use a blur tool in videos that I create (just short GIFs) to hide sensitive information but it doesn't seem like this is possible.”

Erin H.

Copywriter

“The video is not able to recognize when you last stop if you close the window.”

Jennifer P.

Sr. Auditor
