If you need to deal with creating Videos by capturing screen for your day to day work or anything else, then Camtasia is a essential software/  tool  which is needed for creating some great images for your work. Thanks to Techsmith, we are giving away few licenses of Camtasia to Avinashtech Readers.

Developers Description

Always more than a simple screen recorder, Camtasia Studio will help you generate sophisticated, effective screen-casts — faster, easier, and with more consistency.

Features

Record

With Camtasia Studio’s flexible recording options, you can choose to capture full screen, window or region. Add in music tracks, microphone, your computer’s audio, plus picture-in-picture with your video camera, and you’ve got a world-class screencast.

Edit

Once you have your content recorded, polish it up and turn it into a professional screencast.

Share

The final step in creating a screencast is sharing it with your audience – and Camtasia Studio makes that a snap. Produce to a variety of formats

* MP4/FLV/SWF – Flash player compatible
* M4V for iPad/iPod/iPhone/iTunes
* AVI for CD/DVD/lossless export
* Silverlight-compatible WMV
* MOV for QuickTime
* RM – RealMedia
* Animated GIF
* MP3 – Audio only

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.

  4. I’ve tried the trial version and was impressed. I’d like to have the license to make tutorials for my friends who are always asking me how to “do this” or “do that” on their computers. It would make things easier since I wouldn’t have to repeat myself and they would have something to refer back to in case they forget.

    HappY BirthdaY and Merry Christmas, too 🙂

  6. Hi, I would like to have Snagit as I need a powerful screen recording software with many features to create my computing tutorials and other videos which I share with many people.
    Hope I win one.
    Thanks

  12. Thanks avinashtech for holding that great giveaway. TechSmith Camtasia is very cool screen recording software as well as a video editing program for both Win and Mac. I’ve tried the 30-day trial. The quality is cool and clean. I like its timeline editor which allows me to add many resources (video clip, narration, music, object, text, etc.) into the tracks. As far as I know there is a free version web-based screen recorder Jing, but the recording time and SWF output option are limited. Please count me in for this great screencasting program. Thanks and happy Xmas!

  14. Right now I’m also using Snagit mostly. But who knows what I’ve in future. So, I want to grab this opportunity and get ready for a better future. Include me in this draw.

    Thanks a lot
    Sam.

  18. The main window of Camtasia Studio, features a content area in the upper right that showcases a variety of options. Here, we can view the clip bin, access our content library, and tweak features such as callouts, zoom-n-pan, audio, and transitions. I hope to win this great giveaway…

  29. You know I have Wondershare DemoCreator obtained from Avinastech giveaway. It is a decent screen recorder software. But from what I saw above, Camtasia Studio supports more video formats than DemoCreator does. That means having Camtasia will be better. Do enter me to this giveaway as well.

  30. With camtasia studio and all its features there is no way to not succeed in doing screenshots and video. Plus its gets better and better so can be usd in all environments easily since the interface is well designed and easy to use.
