There are various ways to highlight your cursor, including enlarging it, highlighting it and applying effects when you click the left or right buttons so your audience knows what you're doing. It's easy to add narration after you've edited your video - you simply click the Voice Narration button and talk as your video plays. There isn't a huge selection, but production values are high. As you'd expect, there are transitions to link clips, and titles and intro sequences to add polish to your video. If you realise a section in the middle need to be cut, simply highlight it and click on the scissors icon.

There are library, preview and timeline sections and it's easy to trim the beginning and end of your video to show just the portion you want. This behaves much like any video editing software. Once you've finished recording, the video editor loads. Audio options include recording system sounds and microphone inputs. You can even record picture-in-picture with an overlay of your webcam feed, so people can see you talking through your video. You can choose to record full screen, just the active window or a certain resolution. When you run the software, a small toolbar sits on your desktop showing basic settings and a record button. Whether you want to create a tutorial showing others how to achieve a certain task or you simply want to demonstrate something, Camtasia makes the job simple.
