What is Camtasia

Camtasia is a desktop software that records your computer screen and edits the footage into finished videos. You can capture everything happening on your screen, add your webcam feed, record voice narration, and include system audio all at the same time. Each element records on its own track, giving you complete control when editing.

The software comes with AI-powered tools that help create scripts, generate voiceovers, remove background noise, and produce captions automatically. You also get access to millions of royalty-free images, videos, and music tracks. Camtasia works on both Windows and Mac computers, and now includes a free web version for quick recordings. The editing interface uses simple drag-and-drop actions, making it accessible for beginners while still offering advanced features for experienced creators.

How to Use Camtasia

Getting started with Camtasia is straightforward. Here are the main steps to create your first video:

  • Download and install Camtasia on your computer, then open the application and click New Recording to start capturing your screen.

  • Select what you want to record by choosing your screen area, webcam, microphone, and system audio options from the recorder window.

  • Click the red record button and perform the actions you want to capture, then press Stop when finished recording.

  • Your recording automatically opens in the Camtasia editor where you can trim unwanted sections, add text callouts, insert transitions, and apply visual effects.
