Version 7 is slated for release in Q2 2010 but Techsmith has not released any expected new features. Read More...

Camtasia 6 from TechSmith may be a nice tool to build webcasts but it still has many rough edges, especially for small changes and branding of the final webcast. One of my biggest problems was trying out different output options with their ExpressShow template. Read More...
