What is Camtasia? And Snagit?

Camtasia

Camtasia is an all-in-one screen recorder and video editor for both Windows and Mac users which enables you to record your screen. Camtasia offers a variety of features, including:

• Interactivity and quizzing
• Annotations and animation
• Video table of contents
• Closed captions added directly to the recording.

Read the University's Guidelines for the use of Camtasia or request a licence.

You can also download a UoM template package to help you get started with Camtasia. When prompted, click Download then Open for the templates to be auto-installed into Camtasia.

Snagit

When requesting a licence for Camtasia, you will also receive an activation key for Techsmith's Snagit.

Snagit enables you to quickly and flexibly capture images (and silent video) from a screen, and is supported by a powerful but simple-to-use video editor. Snagit provides many tools to annotate, edit and enhance image captures but, for a more powerful set of video editing tools, we recommend using Camtasia.
