This week was a big one for for screen capturing software, especially if you are on a mac. TechSmith released their version 1.0 Camtasia for Mac and Screenflow announced their version 2.0 upgrade that will be available in September. There are spirited debates across the internet about what solution is better and what feature set works better. I am a fan of Screenflow and I do like Camtasia, but I think who ultimately wins is us--the consumer.
Many people blog about features and bugs and what is good and bad and tweet about it ,talk about and evangelize about it. No pause button on Camtasia, no export to YouTube on screenflow (version 2.0 says its coming) just to name a few.
For those who are power users of screencasts they will have even more feature requests. Mac screencasting software seems to be in demand and I am even seeing that my first screen recording software app I used Adobe Capitivate is working on a Mac version.
Whatever you use, videos won't be the same again. Here is a video below from the apple soldier that gives a good video comparison of the two programs. Happy screencasting!
Today Camtasia for Mac was released and I did a quick video on smart focus, one of the many impressive things that comes with the software. I have been following their blog often and waiting for a Mac version. Well here it is, I will be writing a more in depth review once I use more features. I am a little upset that the name is Camtasia for Mac instead of a new name --like the software is an ugly step child--but its not, so I uploaded a YouTube version and I opened a screencast.com account and embeded that version as well.
