Adobe Capitvate vs. Camtasia

CashDoctor · 10-28-2008, 12:21 PM

Working on a project right now with videos. The content creator has been using captivate but I see a lot of people are using camtasia on here.

We are testing right now. WE have a 5 minute video and I am getting the red screen of death about 1/2 the way in. It is 22 slides. Its capturing a screen shot of him using an auto pen.

Any input.

Camtasia is $299 as opposed to cpativate at $699. We are creating a high end video product to sell so quality is the main priority the difference in price has no effect on our decision.

Thanks

Camtasia can zoom in on tight areas of the screen. Captivate cannot.

Camtasia needs to load one huge file (takes a while). Captivate loads faster with many smaller files.

That's where my knowledge ends. The zoom feature was the winning feature for me.
