Many thanks for the additional insight. For screen capture videos, camtasia is great. It is not nearly as hard to learn as something like Final Cut. But the biggest asset of camtasia is not its editing functions, but its ability to do screen capture. Most video editing programs do not do screen capture at all. I find a lot of frustrations with the precision of camtasia but once I got used to it, those problems were very easy to work around. I like camtasia, don't get me wrong, but so many people tout it as the end all and be all of video editing and that is grossly inaccurate. It is for SCREEN CAPTURE VIDEOS. In that class, it is probably the single best, It's just that video editing is so much more than screen capture and camtasia gets talked about so much I do not think people really understand that. Thanks again. I always love insightful comments. Good luck with your business. Editing on camtasia for folks is a good service because a lot of people can benefit from having a camtasia video. I thought your prices were a tad low, but hey, we all love a bargain! Lorraine Hey Woody.

I later moved on to WMM when I found it on a new PC that I purchased. I like both of these editors, they serve their purpose fairly well. After playing around with WAX & WMM for awhile I realized that I wanted to create some videos from my PC but needed a different editor and a screen capture recorder. Through an acquaintance I heard about Camtasia so I picked up a copy and have been using it for about 9 months. I did some work for myself with Camtasia which my acquaintance liked so I began doing work for him. From that I decided to turn it into a little business. From my experience Camtasia is a pretty good editor but like all applications the longer you use them the more likely you are to find their weaknesses. All-in-all I like Camtasia and continue to use it for my screen capture videos. BR "W" Right-on Lorraine

Thanks! I get so many questions from people wanting wanting to know what the "best video editing program" is and of course there is no one single best program. A free program for a beginning editor is probably best for people on a budget! Video editing programs have quite a bit in common with each other, similar layouts and similar basic principles. If you learn one of these free programs, then you can more easily learn a more sophisticated program later if you wish to continue on with video editing. I went to your site and see you use camtasia. I like camtasia a lot, but the problem with it is people get confused and think it is a standard video editing program and it is not. It is for screen capture videos. If you want to edit a video taken with a regular video camera, then one of these free programs would be much better for you than camtasia. I think camtasia is actually one of the easier programs to use but it still has a learning curve. Lorraine Hi Woody!

This is a huge time saver for novice video editors. WAX was the first editor I used even before I used WMM. I liked it and thought it worked very well. I didn't know it could be used as a plugin - pretty cool! BR Woody Lorraine
