I remember when I started with video editing, first software I used was Camtasia, after that I moved to Vegas, and now I am using Premiere Pro, After Effects and sometimes capcut for fast content. I am so happy to see Camtasia still exist, it’s a completely different design in program, it looks so nice and easy for using. ✊
Yeah but I don't like that you can't just buy it an own it they are making you pay A LOT yearly.... At those prices it better not get laggy when you have a 15 or 20+ video an run smooth.
Please tell us about Camtasia Pro. Is it up to par with other tools for AI editing. There's no free trial. Not sure I want to spend the $500 and time to learn the functions, or put time and money into Adobe or Davinci or something els.
Hey Nick, do you have any content or videos relative to the reason that short videos will ramp up in views and likes and shares and then just flat line at a certain point? I only bring this up as to some videos I’ve had that get more views and likes in a shorter time frame than any other content I have seem to plateau at some point and I’m curious the reasoning behind that. ( I know off topic)
@@Joltverse this particular short got almost 5,000 views before it flatlined. (Within a few hours…) I’d add a photo to show but it doesn’t appear I’m able to in RUclips replies. 48+ likes (at one point was 50-52 then started dropping to 48??) +2 subs 27 shares and audience to view vs swipe was 56-57%, views 10x what I typically get. The biggest one I had this happened to got 31,000 views. The graph appeared as a stair step. Up then flatlined, then tier 2 up and flatlined, until about 31,000 views.
@@Joltverse check out your analytics. There is a button on each video and if you go into RUclips studio either via the app on your phone or under your account if on a PC you can get in depth analytics that show real time data and traffic. I still believe the data is slightly delayed. Usually if your views are higher than normal per your analytics you’ll see likes, subs and shares start to populate shortly after. I believe the algorithm pushes to more people the more engagement you obtain. I also believe it’s a small window with short form content, and If you don’t get the results fast it kills your momentum for good unless searched for in the future or discovered by future subs with other videos on your channel. (But these are all my gut instinct reverse engineering based on observation, and I’d love to hear Nicks perspective and analysis)
According to RUclips, the first 400-ish views on shorts are impressions where they are testing the response. From there it’s all performance based in comparison to how your content competes against other content for that audience.
Wow! That is a lot! I have been using Camtasia for years but still use Studio because it is so easy. I think all of these fancy additions would be a. It overwhelming until I got used to it. Maybe I will do the trial just to see if it is too complicated. I love it though! Can I do a trial if I already have Camtasia?
I do tutorials where I record my screen and talk into a mic. Without some basic audio settings (EQ, normalize, etc), my voice drones on... Does Camtasia have those audio settings or would it allow merging with an audio file from Audacity?
You wouldn’t necessarily merge the file with audacity but you can export a wav file and then further process it in audacity. But, Camtasia does have audio processing tools like noise removal and normalization to help make things sound better.
@@NickNimmin Nick, can you set the EQ, Noise reduction and compression at certain levels before recording in Camtasia? I don't want to have to edit the audio later. I just want set those 3 settings at levels that I know make my voice sound good and leave it at that. I'm not recording a band where robust audio editing is necessary. Lol. Now, of course, video will need to be edited afterwards.
Does it only work on a laptop ..and how much is it..if you are a small channel and not got enough money for monthly payments then it's a no for lots of tubers
You can see the pricing on their website. They’ve moved away from one-off purchasing and it’s now annual subscription only, because apparently paying forever is better for their customers 😒
Hi there I have a question for mobile live streaming on my other account. So when I go live on unlisted as a test the chat won’t show even when I enable it. But but it seems like it’s trying to bc it brings the community guideline message up. So is the chat enabled and it just looks different on my end or what?
You're not mentioning how you're going live, but it is possible if you're using a third party app or encoder that something is going wrong there. I would do some more testing and then reach out to RUclips if the problem persists.
I have Camtasia 2020. I kept having freezing issues, so I upgraded my laptop ensuring it met the minimum requirements. It's a gaming laptop but I still have freezes & slow downs nearly every session. Is this a common issue?
I use it for the ones that include screen recordings. When they include screen recordings it’s a lot more efficient for me to edit them in Camtasia instead of having to move everything around.
ive been using camtasia for years, but now i purchased the 2023 version 2 years ago and when i got told to do the update to 2024 they are making me repurchase it again? so either thats super scummy or im doing something wrong
The different versions typically get released as new products, with existing customers getting a discount to upgrade to the latest version. Reach out to Camtasia to confirm the process.
This is good timing! I'm returning to my channel after a long hiatus while I finished my MBA. Now that I'm free, I need to get crackin'. I was demonetized because of the new requirement of three videos within 90 days. I'm not surprised that it became a requirement. Fortunately, and for some odd reason, my channel has been picking up steam without me posting anything for over a year. I received over 400 hours of watch time in the last 28 days, over 50 subs, and pretty good engagement. The channel is doing better without me! But I'm sure that's temporary. I satisfy the other requirements to get my monetization back. I am thinking about renaming my channel to 365 Mystic or something else since Microsoft dropped "Office" from its product name; now it's just Microsoft 365. They should have checked in with me first. 😛 I really thought my channel was going to die with the explosion of AI.
I’ve got a question for you. Lately on some channels, my comment does not appear like it would usually or if it does, then it disappears. This happens even on channels where I am known as a regular. Why I often ask for permission for it to be posted. Have you had ears of this happening.? Can you please explain what is the cause of it if you know? Do you know of a way to resolve it at all? I wouldn’t ask, but you seem to know everything that goes on here at you tube so I thought I might bring it to your attention. Here’s hoping this comment gets posted here!
If its happening across multiple channels, and assuming your comments are not in any way inappropriate in terms of RUclips's community guidelines (where they could be getting caught in channel's Held For Review section), then that's a puzzling one and might need you to contact @TeamRUclips on X (Twitter) to get them to take a look.
I love these videos on Camtasia but Im sad. I have to keep saving to get it. I fell in love with this software when you did the video about editing words. I can pull out "um" and "uh" from my videos. This alone makes the video gold. But ive got to keep saving. Anyways I enjoyed the video just the same!
@@NickNimmin you are right if you are reffering to Premiere Pro of FCP. I am using SnagIt since 2009 and Camtasia for 2 years now. What I meant with my previous comment is that there are some tools that have similar, more easy to use features and also AI integrations that speed up the video editing process especially for entry level editors. I know about all the great screen recording features that Camtasia has but for basic recordings you can do it for free with built in apps bot for PC and Mac. I think that the strongest asset for Camtasia is the collaboration suite where you can colaborate with an editor directly from the app. But be aware that there are some new tools like CapCut that are also tapping into this.
Camtasia is really a different beast to ‘traditional’ video editors. It’s designed primarily for screen capture and it’s very good at it. If you don’t need the specialist screen capture features, it’s probably not the right tool for you.
It's not trying to compete with those other tools. Its strong focus was always on learning content or presentations; hence they put a big focus on screen recording features.
Been using it for years, but now they've gone to a subscription-only model. I notice they have special offers on the price. I guess not as many people want to pay their new higher price. How much did they pay you to make the video?
I like Camtasia but it feels awkward to have to use two video editors. I really don't want to split my time across two editors unless I absolutely need Camtasia. Also, they seem to entrenched in the corporate market. Filmora is very clearly oriented towards creators but Camtasia don't give those vibes.
Yeah, it's a totally different thing now. It's a full function video editor now too and the screen recording options are light years ahead of what they used to be.
Camtasia has been very stable for a few years. It used to be awful, with regular crashes and very slow, but it’s useable now. It can also ‘proxy’ videos for high speed editing. I used to dread using it, but it’s very rare for it to crash now.
This is not an honest video. It doesn't cover the CONS. Camtasia 2024 is extremely slow to load versus the 2021 version. I cannot recommend it (or use it). I will stick with Camtasia 2021 since creating videos quickly is one of my requirements.
@@NickNimmin I tried it on three different Windows 11 computers--all Lenovo laptops with 16GB memory. 2022, 2023 and 2024 are all noticeably slower. How much memory do you have on your computer?
@@NickNimmin for starters it lags a lot, not to mention capcut has been offering transitions and effects for a while that Camtasia is just now rolling out...
They don't target the professional video editor market. You will not find people making a movie or documentary with Camtasia. It targets mostly educators, content learning and why not RUclipsrs, or simple website videos, it's focused on easy editing, not professional long-term edition which has a step learning curve. So it will always be behind editors like Premier, Davinci Resolve or Vegas Pro. The irony is that Camtasia is priced the same or more than those products, so if are you are willing to invest in the learning curve, and you need gazillion features, you are better off with one of those options. Camtasia will likely never have all those features because they don't want to overcomplicate its existing users who look for easy and quick editing. And that is perfectly fine. Some people don't want to invest 50 hours learning a new application to create a 5-minute tutorial. Camtasia is straightforward to learn and master, which makes it appealing to many consumers.
The biggest feature you forgot to mention is that now it's a subscription only product, which means you will lose access to all your content if you stop paying it 🙃

Kudos for you man. This video showed a lot of content in under 4 mins. This is gold - thank you so much - have my like and subscribe.

Thank you!
Great watch. Very solid update
Thanks nick i will try this one out
