Pros and Cons of Camtasia Video Editor

Camtasia is considered as one of the best video editors in the industry. But, the thing which I liked the most is the easy user-interface. You can easily learn video editing using this software without even having prior experience in this domain.

Pros
  • Suitable for screen recording
  • Numerous output formats
  • Easy to add graphical elements and overlays
  • Green-screen editing is supported
  • Lots of pre-installed library items
Cons
  • Large file output sizes
  • Poor audio editing features
  • Could be costly as compared to other editors
  • Limited color correction features

I have worked with Camtasia a lot and it is a good video editor in all terms. However, they should try to add new features to it. Also, adding effects and transitions is complex.

In my opinion, Camtasia is a good video editor if you are a beginner. But, it is not suitable to edit videos professionally. A limited number of features may cause hassles for you.

Also, I also found it a bit expensive if we look at its features. So, you can consider some of the best alternatives like Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
