We Need You! ...To Beta Test Camtasia for the Mac

Posted on Friday March 13, 2009 by Betsy Weber

CS_beta2.png

One of the steps in software development is to beta test the software. And, we could use 50 - 100 beta testers for Camtasia for the Mac. Interested? Just fill out this shortly survey here.

Troy Stein and the Camtasia team will review the submissions shortly. And, if you're accepted to beta test, you'll hear from them shortly.

Thanks for your help in the development of Camtasia for the Mac! We could not do it without you.

I've been using Camtasia (Win) for years and am moving to Mac both personally and professionally. Would like to help move Camtasia (Mac) forward.

I have been waiting for this for some time. Camtasia is the only reason windows remains in my studio. I would be honored to participate!

Quote floater

Survey filled out. :)

Quote floater

Finally!!! Thank you, I have been waiting for you to make a Mac version.

Quote floater

Hi Betsy, I filled out the survey and can't wait to try out Camtasia.

Quote floater

Glad to hear progress is being made - after a long wait, I worried that Camtasia for Mac would never see the light of day. I can't wait to see it. I hope it turns out great. It had better; we Mac users are a ruthless bunch. :)

I use SnapZPro extensively but find it restrictive and frustrating. On the PC side I use Captivate (Adobe). Since I rarely use a PC, I need a good Mac tool. I look forward to a Camastia Mac version!

Quote floater

As an Education Technology and New Media Consultant in Pakistan I have been waiting for this to appear on the Mac platform ever since Apple hads made inroads into our universities. Good luck!

As an Education Technology and New Media Consultant in Pakistan I have been waiting for this software to appear on the Mac platform as a number of teachers and content producers use that. Good luck!

For Sale: One mac user looking for a practical program to to author elearning courses on. I use Snag-it at work & love it. Unfortunately we don't use Camtasia. I'm looking for software to build a personal set-up just in case I find myself needing to supplement an unemployment check with side work. That being said I would love to help test your mac version both from a performance & a new user looking for a tool to build interactive (fingers crossed) elearning solutions on.

Quote floater

I create e-learning, promotional & training webcasts & DVDs for colleges, non-profits, and businesses.
I use Final Cut, and our own proprietary flash app that employs video and ppt & html slides.
I want to have Camtasia in my toolbox to offer clients a different type of presentation - and I have several requests already!

Any news dear Betsy?

I have 3000 staff to train and survey and would welcome the opportunity to take part in the development program. We have recently acquired Captivate but it runs like a dog on my Lenovo. My MacPro sits under the desk crammed full with images and Keynote presentations just waiting for the right application.

Quote floater

I would love to try out the beta!! I use this lots on the PC

Quote floater

I am great fun of camtasia! we use it a lot on Windows, to produce free accounting lectures, unfortunately we have to use it for post production through parallels..

Would love to test Mac version

Thank you!

Quote floater

I would also love to try the beta for Mac! We use it a lot to produce free accounting lectures. but post production is done through parallels and it east resources :(

Thank you!

O pick me! Been eager to get macamtasia since I first heard about it AND I happen to have a bunch of screencast projects to work on over the next couple of months. If that's not harmonic convergence, what is?

Nik Alston :

I run a Media team within the Education Services group of multi-billion dollar organization. Our platform of choice is Mac but we are a very heavy Camtasia user and as such have to use PC's or VMware Fusion to run it. Having a native Mac application would be a welcome addition to our software portfolio. I would relish the chance to be part of this BETA and would think myself and my team would be ideal candidates. I have filled in the survey and am looking forward to hearing back.

Thanks,
nik

Currently have to drag out a hateful Windows laptop to make my Camtasia videos. I bought iShowU for Mac, but pales in comparison.

I really would love to be able to do my work on a Mac. Participating in the beta would be a great chance for me, I'm a big fan, and I'd really like to help out and take part behind the scenes.

I also have alot of projects I will be working on in the next few months and over the summer. I would love to take part!

Quote floater

Is it too late to sign up for the beta? I just got a MAC (macbook pro) and I'm making how-to videos these days. Would love to be a beta tester. Have been using SnagIt for years and ready to step up to CS.

Quote floater

I too have used Camtasia on Windows, but have switched to Mac for about 2 years now and never want to go back. However, I have never found a program as robust and easy to use as Camtasia. So, I'm very interested in this beta testing too. Can't wait to see it.

Sarah Kunze :

Would love to have Camtasia for Mac to create training tutorials for users / staff. Love the product on the Win side.

Hayden Alexander :

I have been waiting for Techsmith to produce a Camtasia version for Mac for about 4 years. I would be happy to test the beta version.

Quote floater

Know I am a little late to the party, but I hope it is not too late to help beta test.

Quote floater
Duane Steward, DVM, MSIE, PhD :

Have a need to capture animation from discrete-event-model simulation for presentation of findings. Camtasia for Win is what my predecessors have used and I a little. However, the Mac is my main development and simulation platform. Camtasia on the Mac would streamline the effort to communicate my simulation results to our upper management tremendously if it works easily.

It's my job to think out of the box and discover the limitations/feasibility of new applications relevant to current objectives is what I do. If not too late to get on board, I am confident that mutual benefit would be the outcome of participation.

Quote floater

Did it!

I used to use SnagIt and Camtasia every day for communicating. I taught people how to use it at my old company and 'sold' it to several departments.

I could snag an image, annotate and send it faster than others could open Word to paste a bloated screenshot.

I moved to Mac and have needed Snagit ever since.

I would LOVE to test Camtasia for Mac! Please let me know how to get started.

Sign me up. We are a Web 2.0 enterprise social networking software company and would love to test Camtasia Studio for the Mac. We develop training and marketing video segments for customers, trade shows and webside product promotion.

Quote floater

I'd love to participate. I anticipate getting a Mac in a few short days. I'm a teacher and I would love to record my demos for my students.

Quote floater

I'm making the switch, after being a DIE-HARD PC person, over to, yes, that's right, OVER to Mac! :) The ONLY software that I'm going to miss on my PC?

Camtasia.

I would love, love, love to help you test Camtasia. The faster it's out the better. Did I mention? I've done QA for a major software development firm, too. I'm a programmer, analyst, usability person.

Everyone around here calls me Ms. Spot The Mistake. If there's something wrong, I find it. :)

Have I sold you yet on my usefulness for this task?

I want to help get this out as fast as possible, so I can really, really give up my PC.

Quote floater

OH, look, I put my URL in wrong. :) It should be wildwoodinteractive.com.

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AN ELEARNING APP FOR MY MAC.... Can i test Camtasia please?

Quote floater

I don't know if there are still beta test openings, but I would like to be one of them. I am preparing a set of screencasts for the Firefox extension, Zotero, and need a reliable Mac version of Camtasia. Thanks.

Quote floater

Looking forward to seeing this program on the Mac. Very glad you are working on this.

Quote floater

If you still need beta testers, I'd love to help out.

New MacBook Pro to be mine in very near future! Mac user forced into a PC world years ago and now able to return to my Mac roots. Can't wait to see Camtasia for Mac. Trialed PC version some time ago and have a great need for it now...once new Mac is in my hands. Any updates on when?

Using Snagit on PC and Camtasia Studio on PC. All else on MAC. Would be interested but I thought it was being released shortly!

Quote floater

Man, I don't know how I missed this, but glad I got the newsletter. I have been so envious of my PC friends who have had Camtasia all this time.
