Have you ever seen those cool tutorial videos on YouTube where they walk you through a brand new software package or show you how an online tool works? Have you ever wanted to try your hand at screencasting too but don’t know where to start? One of the better solutions you may consider is Camtasia from Mac.
The original Camtasia software was made available for Windows users, but TechSmith has now created a version that will work for all the Apple fans in the audience. With Camtasia for Mac, you’ll be able to record and import all kinds of rich content, but the focus is on showing the contents on your computer screen as it happens. This is “like pointing a camcorder at your Mac, only much higher quality.” This goes well beyond the integrated screen recording tool in OS X 10.6, since it is a full capture and edit studio.
In addition to recording the exact contents of your computer screen, Camtasia will also allow you to use the audio from a quality microphone (or the built-in mic) and video captured from the iSight or a DV camera connected via firewire. It is also possible to import your existing logo images, title slides, music tracks, and other similar content.
If you have used Camtasia Studio for Windows, then you may find that Camtasia for Mac may be missing some features. The Mac version does not allow you to pause recording, add markers, integrate surveys, or add-in PowerPoint. A major feature missing from the Mac version is the ability to record just a region of the screen. This may come up in a future edition.
The editing interface will be a familiar one for people who have used video editing software. There is a multi-track timeline along the bottom, a left pane for audio and video effects, a center pane for previewing your movie, and a right pane for showing settings for your current object. These can all be adjusted, shifted, or eliminated as needed.
The SmartFocus technology will automatically zoom in to follow your actions while editing. This ensures the legibility of the text and the sharpness of the details. Other features include a series of embedded objects (like arrows and bubbles), a range of transitions, automatic uploads to YouTube, support for iPhone viewing, and a variety of filters. There is also the ability to highlight a single window by dimming the background.
Camtasia for Mac can be purchased for under $100, but there is a free 30-day trial available on the TechSmith website if you want to take it out for a test drive first. If you plan on doing any screencasting, it’s definitely worth checking out.

I can tell from personal experience that Camtasia has been the best software for creating such tutorials. We recently made several tutorial/help videos for clients about our software. It was so easy and yet offered so many features. So I strongly recommend it.
