I am a charter user of Techsmith products and always been pleased with their advances over other copy cats (including Adobe). I also use Sony Vegas (the best!!). Camtasia Studio was never meant for professional video editing but it is nice that they are adding features as long as it does not slow down the most needed processes. There must be some political reason to drop the .flv. You can’t tell me that they could not keep it as an option!! If you have Flash Pro or some third party tool than you can convert an avi to .flv. This is not faster Techsmith!!

“I have a friend who recently bought version 5 and then they brought out version 6. They upgraded her for free though just a few days ago, she is delighted with that.”

I “upgraded” immediately from Camtasia Studio 3, which they gave away free for about one month in December (thank you…) at a cost of $150… and now less than one year later I am definitely NOT delighted at all that now I would have to pay another $150 to upgrade to Cam Studio 6.

I wrote to Techsmith and I received a very curt answer: I have the option to not pay and stay with Cam Studio 5, or I have the option to upgrade to Cam Studio 6 for $150, or I have the option to upgrade and also buy an “upgrade policy” for an additional $75, with which we can upgrade “within one year” for the bargain price of $75…

There is no guarantee that there will be an upgrade within one year. So in fact it would be equally expensive to upgrade to Cam Studio 6 and buy the policy for $225 + $75 to upgrade to Studio 7, than to buy a new Cam Studio 7 when and if it comes out within one year.

So in fact it makes sense to not buy the “upgrade policy” and in fact I am debating whether or not to pay another $150 for the upgrade in the first place. I am one of those that feels it is unfair, I feel I am being stuck with an upgrade that only has one feature that interests me, and that feature should have been included when I bought version 5.

Lon, a question: now that you have “upgraded” to Cam Studio 6, can you still use Cam Studio 5 so that you can still have FLV output when you want it? Or… Let us suppose that you can… you would still have to produce the video two times, once in Version 5, once in version 6… but you say you need FLV output for FLV Media Player… so you either have to decide whether it is more important to use version 5 so you can use FLV Media Player, or forget about FLV Media Player and menus…

Am I right, I think I should skip Cam Studio 6? Which new feature is truly important about Cam Studio 6?

The ability to unlock video and sound is the single feature that seems important to me, because I don’t need for it to be “faster”… and who really cares so much about high definition, if content of a video is what is truly important…?

So the ability to edit video and sound is the only really important improvement, and Techsmith should have included that in version 5… so they only fixed a mistake… in my opinion they shouldn’t charge $150 because they fixed an omission… they should charge zero… or… I would settle for $75 if it also would include their “upgrade policy”… (you can upgrade next year, if they have an upgrade, for $75…)

It seems to me that if I would decide for Techsmith, they would be more customer friendly. – Ellis Toussier
