The Snagit and Camtasia user interface can be viewed in the simplicity and the professionalism perspectives. This article offers a brief description of Camtasia and Snagit, functions, features, pros and cons to help you to make an informed decision on the tool that best suits your needs. You can be confused further by the fact that TechSmith offers the Camtasia + Snagit bundle to their customers.
The difficulty is worse considering that both Camtasia and Snagit are products of one company, TechSmith. However, confusion arises when you want to make a choice between the two. Even with the Camtasia versus Snagit debate still ongoing, it is well known that Camtasia and Snagit are the ideal screen recording solutions. Screen recording or sense-making capture tools are of immense significance when making a quality video. You can minimize to only the "pause" button using the hotkeys you will have configured.In any professional video editing, you will require to use capture tools and screen casts. Please note however, if you move the tool bar (which you can only do by moving it by grabbing it where the counter/clock is located), this floating toolbar may end up in your video if it stays after starting to record again. The attached photo is what I mean by floating screen recording toolbar. Doing it this way will also allow you to record the entire screen without having to cut out areas. I honestly did not find any suggestions anywhere to do this, and so if someone else is trying to find solutions to this, hope this helps. Hence, using the hotkeys enabled me to record in slideshow mode. This made things so much easier to control the screen recording, especially when the floating toolbar that appears in screen recording mode would disppear (for instance, when projecting a video hyperlinked in your powerpoint video).
I configured easier hotkeys to use from Capture preferences option (under File):ĪLT-T (To Toggle the Snagit Main window back on top once after launching the slide show), ALT-R to R ecord (start or pause), and ALT-S (to Stop recording). This doesn't work if you have animation in your slides. Any tutorials I had found showed using Snagit to capture the main window and then pausing to recording to do the next slide. This was essential to me bc all my slides have considerable navigation and hyperlinks that need to be accessed while I'm recording. I just could not get Snagit main navigation to stay on top, so that I can even start screen recording. My difficulty was in being able to record while using PowerPoint in slideshow mode, rather than recording in the slide design mode. I eventually figured out what I needed to do.
