Free registration at the forum removes this block.Camtasia has a free version, but it sounds like you are done with it. On PC I’ve had friends that use and like Sony Vega and Adobe Premiere. The good thing about Premiere is you can try before you buy or pay month to month.
It’s too bad you don’t have a Mac. Between ScreenFlow and Final Cut those do everything and fast. I record video and audio separately and it syncs magically with the touch of a button on Final Cut. The audio and video converts and transfers with the same quality to YouTube.
I ended up going with Priemier Pro and really like it although the processing is a bit slow. A million times better tgan Camtasia!
@Lex DeVille ... how has OBS and Camtasia sped you up so much?
I really like Loom for doing a quick video. The sound quality doesn’t seem great with my setup, although that could be where I’m sat and the laptop.Well, I would say I need to do more testing, and I also need to add more memory to my computer. But for some reason the crashing, slowness, and A/V sync issues stopped once I combined OBS with Camtasia.
Plus Camtasia production speed is faster than Premier Pro now, so I'm canceling my PP subscription because I don't need it. PP is slower and I can't edit or add special effects as quickly as my preliminary tests in Camtasia.
My sound quality issue was because I selected the wrong audio input. Doh.I really like Loom for doing a quick video. The sound quality doesn’t seem great with my setup, although that could be where I’m sat and the laptop.
For videos where I want the best quality and will be editing them then I’ll try Camtasia (for capture as well as editing), and maybe OBS.
Curious what you're using now @Lex DeVille.
I'm about to get back into video and still have Loom and Camtasia.
Anything good for kids and/or free? The kids are starting to get into video recording and editing (gameplay of Roblox and Minecraft on their laptops). I've asked Camtasia support if there's a license I can use for kids/students just now, but thought I'd ask in the forum too.

Thanks. We were watching YouTube videos about OBS this morning. Looked intimidatingly technical to our 11 year old. I'll check it out myself.I would suggest OBS for recording. It's free and pretty much the whole gaming YouTube/Streaming scene uses it.
For editing I heard a lot of good things about DaVinci Resolve. They have a free and paid version, but usually the free version is enough
I am also interested in what others are having success with as I just started doing some YouTube.
I'm using audacity to record audio, Nvidia ShadowPlay to record anything on my screen, and Shotcut to put it all together. I'm doing literally nothing fancy at this point other than putting audio to video, blurring the odd bit of screen, and cutting and speeding up sections of video. I'm sure I'll need to do more advanced stuff sooner rather than later.
