Camtasia vs. Lumen5

Well-suited scenarios Camtasia is an excellent video creation tool if you are new to making/editing videos. Its definitely the easiest application to use and doesn't overcomplicate things. Once you are used to the way things work within Camtasia, coupled with applying some important, basic principles of making videos, you can produce some nice-looking videos. I've had lots of compliments on some of the product promo videos I've created using Camtasia. If you want to create something quick, simple, and eye-catching, you can certainly do that in Camtasia without a ridiculously steep learning curve. Not so well suited scenarios Camtasia wouldn't be my choice of product if I wanted to make a full-length feature film, but that isn't really its intended target audience. There are more powerful applications out there, such as Adobe Premier Pro, or Final Cut Pro (if you're an Apple user) for that type of thing.

It's a perfect product when it comes to converting the existing artifacts and return materials into interesting videos for a marketing campaign where a budget-friendly approach can be taken instead of creating everything from scratch it is less effective if I expectation video is expected where graphics and all are of top-level and custom requirement in terms of editing is very high full stop it is good for purpose where time is less and video content is needed from marketing and sale purpose or any other engagement.

• Custom formats that suit my needs (web, mobile, tablets)

• Camtasia takes a lot of training to learn how to integrate and edit video
• Video editing is not as advanced as most major video editing software products

Each release of Camtasia has added just enough functionality to justify the upgrade to the new version. I like that Camtasia is not a subscription-based product as we have more flexibility and control over our spend on the product. We can also purchase support packages that include the next version when released.

I haven't used another video recording and editing tools that is as comprehensive and straight-forward as Camtasia. Typically, if you want a user-friendly video editing tools for novice users, you have to compromise on features. Camtasia solves this problem by offering extensive editing features in a simplistic, user-friendly environment. Highly recommend

With the latest version (Camtasia 2020), I actually had problems with an Imac with HighSierra, but from the first moment they answered and guided me to solve the problem, even before making the purchase (with some doubts I had). And they have support in English and Spanish, I really liked that.

My goal was to quickly create a professional-looking course and video in no time with Camtasia. 'Time is money,' as the old saying goes. Because of my lack of time and patience, I didn't bother with other applications. Camtasia is everything I need and more. I just wished I can afford the upgrade.

So much easier to use - AI automatically selects the text and creates videos that don't take hours to make

• We used to source instructional videos. Now we do them in house, saving us time and money. Not only that, they are of higher production value.
• We have used Camtasia to produce promotional videos in house. These used to be outsourced.
• We don't have to wait for an outside firm to find capacity to help us with simple video projects, but can now do them on our timeline.
• Camtasia has surprising power for the price. Again, don't expect Primiere Pro, but understand you may find you can do a lot with this program. We keep finding more and more use-cases for it.

• Reduced time taken to create videos significantly
• We no longer need to outsource video creation
