The greatest editing app of all time
It's extremely easy to create videos, capture the screen, and edit the results of them. I've been using Camtasia since version 6, and the improvements have truly addressed my daily challenges. I've tried using other editing apps, but I couldn't find anything like this one. It's really comprehensive, focusing on features that truly matter. There are no unnecessary features. If you want to create informative, instructional, short marketing, or budget-friendly videos, then this is definitely your best option.
CONSThere are some memory limitations in projects that use a lot of effects or large video files. Therefore, when I have to edit a large video, I usually split the editing into parts and produce them separately. So, if you want to make videos longer than 10 minutes frequently, on a computer with less than 16GB of memory, Camtasia may not be the best option for you.

New Changes from 2022 to 2023 Frustrating
I really loved it at first and promoted it to others to start using it. Now, it drives me crazy that it takes me longer to create than it ever did before because of these design and UX changes.
PROSIt was pretty easy to learn and could do the basics with no problem.
CONSThe additions of Proxy and other editing features made it cumbersome to get the normal editing completed that 2022 had.
Reasons for switching to Camtasia
Wanted to try something better and more robust.

Camtasia stinks and will be replacing it
Terrible, slow, expensive for what it is, doesn't get good updates.
PROSBeing able to separate screen, mouse, and voiceover.
CONSExtremely poor editing software. No way to play at 2x speed, program runs insanely slow, worse than After Effects, and each project gets worse the more edits you make. No way to do rolling edits, or select future clips easily. Sets-up projects at the incorrect aspect ratio by default, and then when you notice that further in your project, it's a pain in the butt to fix on each individual edit.
Reason for choosing Camtasia
I'll be switching back. Camtasia has become far too much of a pain.

Camtasia Video/Audio Software
I have been using Camtasia since 2014. Each year, as presentation methods change the team at Camtasia has upgraded the software to meet the market demand. The software is updated as needed, and if you add the maintenance package, the following new version is included. My decision was based on getting by or having a professional presentation.
PROSI especially like the ease of use, professional product look, and impact. You can find free online products that say they produce professional results, but it isn't true. The other issue is the optional add-ons like symbols and photo libraries. You can save your photos and logos within the library.
CONSShort learning curve but like anything that looks professional it takes a bit of time to become proficient.
Reasons for switching to Camtasia
For me specifically, Animoto was too restricting and lacked the tools to create the type of videos I needed.
