We owe you a big thank you for the last 10 years... This month we're celebrating Camtasia's 10th birthday thanks to you and your support. Camtasia was launched at Comdex in November 1999.
A lot has happened over the last 10 years. Camtasia now supports both the PC and Mac. Camtasia Relay joined the Camtasia family. We've added support for many different file formats like SWF, MP4, WMV and MOV. And, we're always working on new features and functionality.
Jon Udell gave the 'video screencapture' medium a name and coined the term, Screencast. Technology keeps changing over the last 10 years. Hard drives keep getting bigger, internet connections get faster by the day, YouTube arrived, and iPods and other mobile devices showed up on the scene.
We compiled a fun timeline below that shows some Camtasia milestones, advertising and logos, reviews, feature releases and technology milestones. Check out the timeline below.
I went on a hunt around the office to find some old Camtasia memorabilia. We snapped some pictures with some fellow TechSmithies having fun with Camtasia's old logos and boxes. I made a video below showing them off. It's a short video that runs less than 2 minutes long.

And, I need your help... If you have a few minutes to spare, please send me a photo with yourself holding a sign about Camtasia (I heart Camtasia or similar sign) or a Camtasia box. I'd love to make a video showing off all of you! Email the pics to me.
Also, to celebrate, Sales is having a sale on Camtasia Studio. For a limited time, save an extra 10% on already-discounted volume licenses of Camtasia Studio, Snagit, or both in a bundle. Details are here.
I hope you'll join us in the celebration! Where would you like to see Camtasia go in the next 10 years?!
