The new things in Camtasia 2021 are mainly expansions of, or improvements to, its existing feature set. The last few releases have each offered a range new and improved features but there have been no really gigantic changes. In recent years, TechSmith has released a new version of Camtasia once a year. But Camtasia sticks to its original brief: while it can record webcam video, it remains fully focussed on screencasting. There are plenty of general-purpose video editors which provide basic screencasting as a small part of a huge feature-set for editing camera-recorded video.

There are now so many different software packages for recording and editing screencasts (videos of activity on a computer screen) that I often wonder why I still use Camtasia? The answer, I think, is that it does the job it is designed to do – and no more.
