I have used TechSmith’s Camtasia Studio for nearly the entire time I have had my YouTube Channel. Over the years, I’ve tried most products such as Bandicam, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Capitvate and many others. When it comes to professional capabilities and ease of use, Camtasia wins for me hands down.
