It's something I've thought about and maybe I'll try it in future and see how it works out. I know what you mean Gaming YouTube.

It just makes it a little more human, in my opinion.

You're quite right, you can get a lot done in 30 days but most people love the software so much they purchase it in the end anyway - I did! for anyone who doesn't want to shell out that much though, or doesn't use video enough to warrant the expense, there is a free alternative called <a href="http://camstudio.org/">Camstudio</a>. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but still good. I did a tutorial for it recently on my blog and got some great feedback. Also, if you are using Camtasia, I would steer clear of their own Flash codec, lots of people seem to have problems with that, so stick with outputting to AVI or WMV. Whatever you choose, test your results and go with the what works best in your situation! Hope that helps someone, Bill Nice post Steve, Camtasia is great isn’t it!

That's amazing... But the best thing I have found about this software is that, it give at least 30 days free trial which is a considerable amount of time period in which pros and cons of software can be analyzed.
