Camtasia 3 FREE for a limited time
In case you don’t know, Techsmith Camtasia is one of the most popular screen grabbing, tutorial movie making, screen casting, tutorial podcast makers in use. Mainly because it is very easy to use and works pretty well.
You can get Camtasisa 3 for FREE for a very short time.
You can download the demo for V3 here Download Camtasia 3 Demo.
And then Register Camtasia 3 for FREE here.
Best of all,, you can upgrade from the free version 3 to the latest version 5, for only $149 (about £88 with the VAT).
This is not an affiliate link. I won’t make a penny, or get any thanks.
But if you’ve been thinking of doing anything involving recording your screen activities and/or making video pod cast tutorials, FREE you can’t argue with, and if you’re serious $149, you shouldn’t argue with either!
Camatasia 5 exports to Flash (which I’m not sure if 3 did or not) and can import Powerpoint (slide show) presentations, so is an ideal way of streaming your presentations, not just your movies (that’s a big hint!).
I just paid £88 myself, so I do believe what I’m saying here. I’ve done it myself!
There are free alternatives like CamStudio, but Camtasia is more widely used for a reason…









And I’m pleased to say that you seem to be able to install version 5 straight away, without having to install version 3 first. A real time saver!
Hi Peter, I haven’t tried Camtasia yet, but certainly will on your recommendation here. I’ve briefly played with CamStudio and it looks pretty decent.
