TechSmith builds screen-capture and video-production software — best known for Snagit and Camtasia — used by educators, trainers and businesses to create tutorials, demos and marketing videos. Offers digital licenses, media assets and enterprise options plus learning resources and technical support.
Key Highlights
What it offers
Camtasia — recording and editing
Camtasia is TechSmith's flagship video production tool that records screens, webcams and system audio, then lets you edit on a timeline with callouts, captions and animations. It’s aimed at educators and communicators who need polished, short-form videos without outsourcing. Camtasia runs on Windows and macOS, exports common formats, and integrates with LMS and sharing platforms for distribution.
Snagit — rapid screen capture
Snagit focuses on fast screenshots, scrolling capture and quick video clips, plus built-in markup tools to annotate, crop and share visuals. It’s optimized for documentation, bug reports and how-to guides where a single annotated image or short clip is enough. Snagit’s streamlined workflow emphasizes speed and clarity over full-scale video editing.
Assets, Audiate and enterprise
Beyond core apps, TechSmith offers audio tooling (Audiate), asset libraries, templates and enterprise licensing with centralized deployment and volume discounts. Their resources include tutorials and support for integrating videos into training programs. This ecosystem suits organizations that produce consistent instructional content and need admin controls and multi-seat licensing.
