Anyone have any alternatives? Like a reseller with WAY cheaper pricing than Techsmith? Crazy prices... Someone hallppppp!
 
I used to use Snagit then I switched to Windows built in Snipping tool. What features specific to it do you need?
 
You should be able to use OBS to do screen recording (ignoring the streaming functionality); if you have an NVIDIA graphics card (and the GeForce Experience app), you can use that to capture the desktop as well.
Greenshot and ShareX are both freeware alternatives to SnagIt.

I do vid tutorials too. I've tried lots of shit. On Windows, Camtasia has just been the best option I've found so far. More options on Mac for similar.

So you use Techsmith with the crazy prices they have? :(
 
Yeah, but like I said, for Windows, I think it's about as good as you can get.

Depending on how long you need it, you can get Adobe Premiere for $50/month using Creative Cloud.
I've heard CamStudio is a good free alternative, but I found it was ok to record, but you still need editing software.

Plus, depending on what you use it for, it's a tax write off, so there's that silver lining. I haven't seen other resellers of it. Sometimes there are coupons or sales.
 
On Camtasia? That's only with the trial, no water marks with a license.

I've used Shadowplay lots for recording games and also for recording desktop and applications too. It works great (assuming you've got a reasonable NVidia GPU). - requirements are discussed here - note the comments re: a GTX class GPU - https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/975424/shadowplay-system-requirements/

...alternatively I've heard and read OBS is a good freeware solution too.

...that's 2 free solutions - both from zero2dash ... ?
