In my trial recordings, Camtasia did a good job at capturing typical user activity on both my 1440-by-900 pixel MacBook Pro and on the 1920-by-1200 display attached to my Mac Pro.
There may be other applications with similar problems, but this is the only one I ran into while testing. While this worked well in nearly every application I tested in both 10.5 and 10.6, there’s at least one (and probably more than one) program that doesn’t work with Soundflower: In both 10.5 and 10.6, audio capture failed when using Real Player. To convert a temporary recording into a permanent file, you simply have to save a project using that recording when you save the project file, the recording is copied from the temporary folder directly into the project.Ĭamtasia uses a bundled version of Soundflower, an open source system extension, to capture audio with its screen recordings. (You can change this time period in Camtasia’s preferences).
These recordings are temporary in nature-if you don’t do anything with them, they’re automatically deleted after 14 days. In comparison, Snapz Pro X ( ) can capture regions, including regions across multiple screens, and ScreenFlow ( ) can capture from any one of multiple monitors. The program captures everything happening on the screen with the menu bar, but can’t capture regions (though you can crop during edit), nor can it capture anything other than the main screen. After launching Camtasia for Mac, you start recording by pressing a keyboard shortcut, which you press again to stop recording.
Capturing video and audioĪs an end-to-end solution, Camtasia lets you capture and edit both audio and video from your Mac and connected audio/video devices. That doesn’t necessarily make the Mac version a bad program, but it does mean you can do more with the Windows version. While there are a few things the Mac program can do that the Windows version cannot (capture DV camera, upload to iTunes or YouTube), there are many more features available in the Windows product that are not currently in the Mac release.
