Camtasia (Pre-recorded)

We suggest using Camtasia for your video capture and editing for pre-recorded videos.

Camtasia is one easy and accessible software for editing pre-recorded videos. It allows you to both record your screen and audio and edit your video. In particular, the ability to edit the audio and video separately is a useful feature of this software.
