TechSmith Camtasia Studio 7


This new software lets you make videos of your Windows desktop. You can do everything from creating tutorials to help someone complete a task or make a video for a demonstration.

When the software is up and running a toolbar sits on your desktop this shows you the basic settings of the program and has a record button. Recording can be done in full screen, just the active screen running, or a certain resolution. Picture-in-picture is also a possible recording option all you need is an overlay of your webcam feed and people can see you talking in your video.

After you’re through with recording the video editor kicks in. It’s quite like any other video editing software. You have a library, preview and time line sections, and trimming your video is very simple so you only get the parts you want. Production values are extremely high with this software, your video will look nice and polished in the end.

Narration is also an option to add to your video after it has been completed. All you have to do is click on the Voice Narration button and speak as your video plays. You can add many more effects to the video, like new cursors or speech bubbles, so your audience gets a good feel of what your doing in the video.

The software is not on the cheap end, but its quite easy to use and your end product will come out looking polished and professional that’s why it’s a great choice.

  1. It's a great screen recording tool. I think people who wants to create professional looking screencast can try it. I also try many other screen recorder and DemoCreator is the one impress me. It has video/audio recording and editing feature in simpler and easier ways. And the cost is much lower than Camtasia.
