Comments from those who selected Camtasia as one of their Top Tools
- “Camtasia is really easy to use for screen capture and fast generation of content” Brian Mulligan
- “A SERIOUS rapid e-learning authoring tool for demonstrations, simulations, evaluation, and scenario-based learning.” Michael Hanley
- “While still somewhat Web 1.0-ish, I still like the ability to develop a screencast so that I can personalize and explain my own perspective in a process that engages students. In online learning with so much delivered asynchronously, screencasts allow some of my personality to surface” Britt Wattwood
- “Awesome screencast tool, quick and easy to use” Rich Chetwynd
- “A powerful screencasting software that I use frequently to create instructional videos for my students. Camtasia allows screen recordings, audio, voice narration, PowerPoint, Picture-in-Picture and webcam video. Also, I can edit and enhance my video with callouts, titles, credits, zooming, panning, quizzes and additional audio tracks.” Steve Yuen
- “Camtasia is excellent for creating ‘screencasts’ – on-screen video tutorials with narration of an audio overlay track. It sports many supporting features / enhancements and can output to Flash – perfect for web delivery. We use Camtasia to create any tutorials that can be screen-based.” Seaghan Moriarty
