Camtasia Studio 4 Out
October 18th, 2006 by Greg R Notess
Techsmith has updated Camtasia Studio to version 4. While I have yet to download the new version to try it, there are some nice sounding features like more output formats, including m4v for podcasts, improved audio editing capabilities, production previews, open ended survey questions, extending end frames to fit added audio, closed captioning, and more. Paul mentioned the release and a first look from Digital Inspiration.
With all the new features comes a higher price for educational users ($199 instead of $149). The upgrade price for educational users is $89.50. I was hoping for less expensive pricing that that, especially with competition from free products like Wink. I’m also disappointed that version three never fixed the looping bug. Users of version 3 should not have to upgrade to get that fixed, and even more discourage is a report on 10/17 in that thread that the bug continues even in version 4!
Camtasia 4 rocks! Your blog looks really interesting.
