Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If programs were people, Camtasia Studio 5 would be a body builder. More screen recording, editing, and producing muscle is what you get with the latest version. The full-fledged screen recording studio has tools and settings extensive enough to make a newbie's head swim, but the tips, video tutorials, and preset options help anchor and guide novice users through the process of creating screencasts from start to finish.
Camtasia Studio makes it easy to record any PC and PowerPoint screen action with or without sound, adding little gems like cursor highlighting, resizing apps within the recorder, and drawing on the screen. Audio and video clips are compiled, trimmed, and bedecked with visual effects in a production studio accessible to a cross section of users.
Well-rounded production settings rely on presets and manual customizations, letting users quickly format their video for common outputs like iPod and blog uploading in addition to hardcore audio and video configuration. HTML embedding assigns your video a Web site for easy sharing.
If that weren't dizzying enough, Camtasia Studio includes additional applications, like a standalone audio editor and the CD MenuMaker. Luckily, there are included wizards, tips, tutorials, and templates for easy maneuvering.
The price of a creative screencasting license is steep at $300, or $150 for an upgrade, but if the trial leaves you wanting more, Camtasia is a worthwhile investment for frequent screencast producers requiring a lush feature set. Users looking to develop skills with prolonged use should start here too.

Version: Camtasia Studio 5
Pros: The prg is impressive in that it has all sorts of options plus online tutorials for all the steps. Looks very professional.
Cons: In spite of following all the steps in the tutorial, the prg recorded only the video. Even though there are various settings and options, I couldn't get it to record audio. I felt that for my application to simply record sessions from the screen, the prg has a little too many options which lead you to falsely believe that it will do the job. Also with a price tag of $300, it is too much.

"Good value for price and features"
Pros: Relatively easy to use. Screen recording worked great. Produced video looked great, very functional.
Cons: Would like more options in customizing the player. Would like more tools for editing. Noise reduction changes voice.
