I have been using the free version of Camtasia , Ulead video studio. Even sometimes I use the Windows Movie Maker also. If you are expert in the Camtasia, you can use this one or Ulead. both of this app is working good. Thanks.

I use camtasia too, Video Maker Fx and Explaindio.

Camtasia & Video pad.. mainly I record with Camtasia recorder then edit it with videopad.

I actually started out many years ago using Windows Movie Maker and got alot of views with those videos. Today I use camtasia.

Using Easy Sketch Pro.

Looking at Easy Video Suite, neat feature but kind of expensive.

For my main business as a Webinar host for Business owners, I also use Camtasia.
It sure is easy to use and I save it as a MP4. So I can upload the webinar to Amazon S3
as a Webinar replay. Works like a charm.

I use camtasia too. Very easy for screen recording and editing....

Camtasia should work fine for most IMer's needs.

I just use camstudio and a custom software called ArcSoft Video Impression. It's expensive, but gives you the option to instantly turn your video into a podcast with 1 click. I love it.

Depending on what I want to accomplish, one or more of the following:
PowerPoint
Explaindio
VideoMakerFX
Sony Vegas
Corel Video Studio
Proshow Producer
Sparkol VideoScribe
Camtasia
Google Earth Pro
PhotoStory 3
DVD slideshow GUI
Samsung video camcorders (2)
CrazyTalk 5
CrazyTalk Animator Pro 1

Camtasia still #1 in my book. I don't think you'll find better quality anywhere else in terms of screen recording software.

camtasia good but have to pay window movie maker always free

I think one reason you're seeing a bunch of different responses here is that people do different things with video. I simply record on my own Iphone, since my videos are just talking about wine or other products. Simple and effective, especially once I get them transcribed.

If you're taking images and voiceover your needs are much different than mine are though.

What type of videos are you making? If you give us a better understanding of what you're picturing we can probably help suggest a solution-

I'm using Camtasia Studio for all my editing and most of my screen recordings.
Another tool I use for screen capture is Bandicam (for full screen game captures only).

Next I use Handbrake to reduce the file size and finally I upload it. I'm using Wistia primarily as well as Youtube for some extra traffic.

And that's about all I use. Oh yeah, and a camera comes in handy as well

I have VideomakerFX, Explaindio, EZ Sketch Pro. I find Explaindio the most flexible. I also have Corel Video Studio for edits. These are good products, as is Camtasia. It's your experience with the given tool that is most important.

I love aTube catcher. Warning though it comes with A LOT of PUPs (possibly unwanted programs). Be sure to uncheck the offers. It has a good screen capture video and allows you to download Youtube videos (personal use only to avoid copyright problems)

Presently I am using Windows movie maker, but in the beginning I've used Camtasia and it worked great. I am unable to install on XP in these days.

^ It's the other way around for me. But I switched from Windows XP a long time ago.
I actually prefer camtasia, I'm not even sure if it's because I got used to it after using it for so long or if it's genuinely better than the Windows Movie Maker

Nowadays most of the people are using the camtasia. I have been using this tool also.I have to say, It is a good tools. One can use it easily, if he has minimum knowledge. In this apps, One can capture video by Screen recording then one can edit the video.

Hello There ,
I am using animoto for video creation.
for promotional video you can use powtoon and moovly.

Video spin blaster
Split blaster
VideomakerFX

You would be amazed on the vidz i can create rapidly with these tools !
Plus, they don't cost a fortune

I use After Effects software to create my video along with a cool templates from videohive. I suggest that you use it for your projects too. It is really easy and very good looking

[DELETED]

Most of the time I use the Camtasia, but sometimes I use the Camstudio. Both of these app are free. You can use anyone of these. Thanks.

[DELETED]

I use VideomakerFX for creation and I use Screencast-O-Matic Pro to edit and screenshare. SCO is free and for $15 a year you can upgrade to the Pro version. It works great!

For people who just want a quick screen record without paying for Camtasia or other paid tools, you can always use QuickTime. Not sure if it's available on Windows as well.

Just open quicktime, click File, and click New Screen Recording. Works pretty well and it's free.

I use both free and Paid tools, for the free one I use Windows video Maker and Google Hangout (the youtube video maker tools are pretty easy to use too).

As for the paid tools I use Camtasia mostly, but now I'm using Easy Sketch Pro (I'm in love with the whiteboard videos!) and Video Motion Pro, even though I'm not 100% convinced with the last one.

how do you edit videos in terms of cutting into several parts and combining with another videos ? What tool do you use to do that?

I use MyScreen Recorder Pro by Deskshare, so far I have no issue with this software

Here I found most of the people are using the camtasia. I am using these apps also. it is also a good apps. Beside it, there are many apps available. you can use any of them. Best of luck.

will you try something like powtoon?

Animoto ,stupeflix & window movie maker are the best tool for video creation .

I think the overall consensus in this thread is Camtasia rocks Hmmm, a few other suggestions I will take note of as well and do some research for later on. Video marketing is big business and something I may really want to dig my teeth into later on.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Camtasia All the way.
I heard good things about Adobe Captivate...something to look for in the future !

In case you want to add your branded logo to an existing video, and to share it on facebook or any other social network supporting video, watch the online tool Video Branding. com which is a simple way of doing it online.

I've used Powtoon before and I can say that it is fun to use if you like animated videos.

If you already know the basic version then go to adobe premiere pro and if you want to learn the basics then just use power director

I tend to use ScreenCastOMatic. But as far as editors go: Adobe's Premiere Pro and After Effects

I generally use Final Cut Pro, Lightworks, iMovie. All are good video creation tool...

[DELETED]

I use Adobe Premiere Pro for my videos and Adobe After Effects for any animations or effects.

I personally use Adobe After effects and Premiere. These tools are better choice for video creation.

[DELETED]

I've used powtoon for free but for noncommercial purposes only, if you are able to purchase it then you can remove its watermark. I've been hearing a lot of recommendations and good feedback about camtasia too so I want to give it a try. I also had Adobe Premier, it is good but I am still on the process of exploring it.

[DELETED]

Camtasia is the best But the latest one needs a new learning curve. But after a couple of hours is just as good as ever with a few new toys.
But a great tool also I like is Easy Video Suite Both I could not do without Robert

i use articlevideorobot.com super easy and awesome
