For recording, Camtasia captures screen, camera, microphone, and system audio on separate tracks, up to 4K at 60 frames per second, along with cursor metadata so mouse paths, clicks, and keystrokes can be edited afterward. The editor offers text-based editing, filters, 150+ transitions, animations, on-screen annotations, dynamic backgrounds, royalty-free assets, closed captioning, and green-screen (chroma key) removal.
AI features include lifelike AI voiceover narration, AI-generated avatars, script generation with Audiate, audio and transcription translation across 7 languages and 9 dialects, one-click background noise removal, AI background removal, filler-word removal, and text-based transcription editing. Screentelligence uses on-device machine learning for context-aware layout and cursor suggestions.
The full Camtasia Editor is free to download with all editing features, adding a watermark to exports until upgrading to a paid Essentials, Create, or Pro plan or a Business License. Each license covers two devices, with volume, education, and student discounts available.
