What’s the difference between screen capture software like Camtasia or ScreenFlow and other software titles used to create videos? Well there are a lot of differences. I spell them all out here…

Doesn’t Camtasia Studio 6 now allow you to bring camcorder video into your screen capture video? How does CamStudio Pro (not the free CamStudio) compare with Camtasia (other than price)?
You could always import camcorder footage into Camtasia. That’s not something new in Camtasia 6. In Camtasia 6, they just added QuickTime video as one of the import options.
The biggest difference in Camtasia 6 is that it produces videos using the H.264 codec (it creates .mp4 files), which basically means you can maintain video quality at much smaller file sizes.
There are a lot of other options besides Camtasia. However, most fall short in one area or another and Camtasia still is the industry standard (on Windows).
ScreenFlow (http://www.telestream.net/screen-flow/overview.htm) is a stronger product and is just $99, but it’s Mac only.
Personally, I use ScreenFlow on a Mac and Camtasia 5 on Windows. Camtasia 6 is fairly slow and a little buggy. I’m sure Techsmith will get the kinks worked out because they’re a great company, it’s just that Camtasia 6 got released with some surprising and annoying bugs.
Great! Thank you very much!
I always wanted to write in my blog something like that. Can I take part of your post to my blog?
Of course, I will add backlink?
