The editing interface is intuitive and allows the creator to easily change the pace, visual elements, and audio elements. Captivate has so many ways to customize how the screen is recorded and what on the screen is recorded. It took no time for me to understand how to make excellent screencasts using Captivate, while with Camtasia, I found myself unable to even get satisfactory answers from the help file. It’s not that I don’t like Camtasia Studio, but once I tried Macromedia Captivate, it became obvious to me that - all other things (price) being equal - Captivate was far superior. But I really did want to like Camtasia, and not only because it would be far cheaper to buy an upgrade of Camtasia than to buy any other software. I knew that the tutorial/demo creation software had become more sophisticated, so I wanted to explore other offerings. When I started to become interested in screencasting, I began to think about what I wanted to use to create my own screencasts or tutorials. While there were certainly a number of problems with the software, it gave us what we wanted, and we were pretty satisfied. Note: This review is from 2005 and is not relevant to current versions of Camtasia and Captivate.Ī few years ago, my husband bought Camtasia 1.1 so that we could create software demos for his business.
