Editing in Camtasia Studio 5 is improved over previous versions in a couple of ways. Camtasia 5 continues the improvements seen in version 4 in the area of editing stability. We spent many hours working with different scenarios in Camtasia 5, and we never once encountered any problems. If you do encounter a problem, however, Camtasia's new auto-save feature will protect you from having to redo your edits. Camtasia Studio recordings are edited at 30 frames per second. This makes the editing process much more precise.

Camtasia's video production has gotten even better in version 5.

Producing videos is more straight-forward in Camtasia 5. Settings are configured based on the targeted platform if you choose, but you can also configure the settings yourself. Previews are fast and accurate at any point along the way so you'll always be able to see exactly what the final outcome will be using your current settings. Selecting a production preset will automatically choose many settings for you, but you can override these if you choose.

Camtasia's templates are versatile and provide plenty of customization.

If you are producing a video comprised of several recordings, Camtasia's ExpressShow feature will compile all of them into a single video along with a table of contents for easy navigation. The results are professional and quite impressive.

If you're an owner of any previous version of Camtasia, you would be crazy not to upgrade to version 5! TechSmith could have gone the route of many other software companies by adding bloat to a great application. Instead, they kept the features that have always made Camtasia great and added a slew of new features that make it even better than ever before. If you've never used Camtasia and you have a need to present screen presentations, you owe it to yourself to download the demo and try it. Once you do, you'll be convinced that no other application comes close to the feature-set and quality that Camtasia produces. There simply is no equal, and we couldn't be more confident in highly recommending Camtasia Studio 5 to anyone.
