MY VIEW

As most of my readers know, I rarely create Videos and hence I haven’t tested it as extensively as Snagit. Still with whatever time I have went through using it, I found it quite easy to work with. Obviously, there is a learning curve associated with any tool and same applies here. As it can create and edit your Videos quite effectively like adding sound thru Mic or editing existing videos to create new one, you may find it hard initially if you never used any video editing software.

But if you want to create a simple video, you do that straight away even on your first day. If you want to create good professional Video, you can learn it from Camtasia Learning Center.
