Review: Camtasia Studio 8 and Camtasia 2.5 for Mac

Tutorials, walk-throughs, instructional videos--all of these have been produced in a variety of ways for many years. As video technology changes, so do the methods and tools used to produce these programs. One area that has gotten noticeably better within the last few years is how we capture screens for video.

In the past, producers employed a variety of different screen recording methods. Professional productions may have utilized a video out from the source and recorded directly to tape. In a low-budget model, a camera was simply pointed at a monitor with an agreeable refresh rate.


While these methods got the job done, they’re no longer suitable for today’s viewer expectations of pristine HD-quality images. TechSmith’s Camtasia has been providing producers with quality screen capturing and editing tools since 2006. If you’ve ever needed to record a screen with full motion to illustrate a method or process, then Camtasia may fill that gap.
