Whether you’re looking to create interactive software demos, training videos, or tutorials, utilizing desktop software is almost a must. Editing, publishing, and converting video files requires plenty of hardware and memory… so online platforms aren’t typically an option. Some video editing mobile applications are pretty good, but they lack the desktop real estate that your large monitor has to comfortably make edits and work across multiple layers of audio and video.
Camtasia Screen Recording and Editing Software
Camtasia has been around for years and is truly the standard when it comes to producing professional video tutorials, how-to videos, software demonstrations, video lessons, training videos, instructional videos, explainer videos, recorded presentations, and more. Online video editors can do some simple edits, and professional video editing suites can have a huge learning curve.
Camtasia is the perfect product in between – built specifically for the recording and production of business videos. Here’s a walk-through of the latest release:
