It's also a good, relatively easy to use video editor for other, more mundane, purposes as well.

I personally felt that Camtasia was kind of a one stop shop for all that stuff, and simplified the software acquisition and workflow development by using a single user interface. Yeah, you can use Snagit for your basic capture, but you will have to assemble a group of supporting applications to do the other stuff you will need to do to get a viable product. It manages to be both sophisticated and easy to use. It can do a variety of textual and graphic annotations and allows one to use it to add music, and voice narrations with some audio effects and basic sound editing. I opted for Camtasia as a video editor since it seemed designed perfectly to support the sort of eLearning video I want to create. When I tried to do both at the same time one, or the other suffered badly.) (I also found it easier to record the onscreen action separate from the narration and then merge them into a single project. TWO - I came to the conclusion that you need to have a moderately strong ability to capture separate audio narration and add it to a video project. ONE - It didn't have the ability to do the sort of advanced annotations that I think a good video tutorial should have to keep people's interest. I started out using ACDSee Video Studio 2, which I quite liked, for an inexpensive basic consumer level video editor, but it had two major shortcomings. You really need a video editor of some sort to increase edited quality.

It is kinda, sorta possible, but the quality is 'kinda, sorta' primitive.

I am trying to produce photographic post processing tutorials and I started out trying to use just Snagit.
