“An outstanding work! I refer to it before looking at TechSmith’s help site.” – Frank Oberc

The best Camtasia guide keeps getting better. Camtasia: The Definitive Guide has been a mainstay of the screencaster’s bookshelf since 2005. It has helped even seemingly hopeless technophobes become screencasting ninjas in less time than they ever thought possible. No Camtasia book is as comprehensive or approachable. Now it’s available exclusively as an all-digital download. Both Windows and Mac versions are fully supported.

A Must Have Camtasia Accessory

Camtasia without Daniel Parks' Definitive Guide is like a day without sunshine, (you're just left in the dark). It's the golden ticket to the chocolate factory, the key to the city, the bop in the bop - shee bop - shee bop. Simply put, if you intend to become a Camtasia pro, you'll get the Definitive Guide, read it, and then use it frequently as an easy reference. You're welcome.

A Camtasia Goldmine!

Daniel Parks’ book, The Definitive Guide to Camtasia2023 is a GOLDMINE! It covers every tool and feature of Camtasia as well as everything you need to ensure you prepare properly for production. There are many embedded screencasts that cover everything from best practices to workflows which really add to the learning experience. You can tell that Daniel puts his heart and soul into his book and the price is graciously affordable for the plethora of valuable content.

You have your choice of file formats, and I tested each of them (Online, EPUB, PDF). They all work seamlessly.

I have only been studying the program for 2 years (I am an advanced Snagit user) and used every resource I could find to learn Camtasia well, but this book raised my knowledge and skillset to a higher level quickly.

Thank you, Daniel, for writing this invaluable, current, comprehensive Camtasia treasure! I had been searching for a current book for quite some time, so I was excited when I found this gem.

You'll need this

I started buying this book some years ago, and have upgraded every time a new version arrived to market. For my own part, I still use the book to hone my skills in Camtasia. In addition; I used the information in the book to create my own powerpoint template for my colleagues, facilitating their ability to create high-quality webcasts and interactive materials. The book is also useful when discussing possible ways to meet specifications and solve challenges in production.

Camtasia 2020 Definitive Guide

The Camtasia 2020 Definitive Guide is really well written. Even though I did the Techsmith certification courses related to Camtasia and the book is a great complement to what is available on the internet. I definitely recommend the book to anyone who wants to get up to speed quickly.
