Camtasia replacement for the Mac

Question

On the PC, I use Camtasia to record various screencasts. Is there something similar for the Mac?

Answer 1

Have you tried the Mac version of Camtasia?

Personally I prefer ScreenFlow.

Answer 2

Quicktime X can do this by default on Snow Leopard.

Answer 3

Theres a myriad of these for Mac, but one that stands out for me is Capture Me, it's free and open source. Not to mention very easy to use:

Features:

• Globally floating capture window.
• Record short MPEG-4 QuickTime movies.
• Fast screen captures (uses OpenGL).
• Ability to down scale captures (proportionally or not).
• Save as PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, TIFF, or GIFF.
• Adjustable translucency of capture window.
• Several ways to adjust the size and position of the capture (move the window, arrow keys, scroll wheel).
• Nifty capture sound.
• Options to auto-save to desktop, auto-copy to clipboard, etc.
• Barest beginnings of AppleScript support.
• Written with Cocoa - native to Mac OS X.
• Universal binary - Intel, PPC native.

Answer 4

QuickTime X will do screen recording, www.screentoaster.com is a free web-based screen recorder, there are lots of screen capture programs for the Mac, ScreenFlow is a very popuar one, but if you are used to Camtasia and like it, Camtasia has a Mac version.

Answer 5

Why replacement when there's Camtasia for Mac?

Answer 6

I've been pretty happy with iShowU HD for $30 USD.

Answer 7

I prefer Snapz Pro for any Mac screencasting.
