Author Topic: Get Camtasia Studio v3 for free (Read 33,548 times)

I know its a slightly older version but Techsmith is making this version available for free and since their products are so well developed an older version may work well for some.

Dang! I wish I'd known about this before I bought BBFlashback... Not that I'm not happy with BBFlashback, but FREE has a nice ring to it! Thanks for posting this, Chris, downloading as I type this (what can I say? I'm a software junkie).

Plus the free version allows you to qualify for the upgrade pricing if you choose to goto the newest version.

Thanks, Veign. That's great!

Sweet! I just checked mouser's screencasting review, and this free version is the "new and improved" one due out later in the month the review was done

I really don't need this, but it's installed now! Not too tempted to upgrade ($149 US) but will be comparing it to BBFlashback Pro.

Thanks for heads up.Techsmith has top notch software.

PS mouser's screencasting review gave two enthusiastic thumbs up to Camtasia 2.

and we're one better than that with v3

I have been using SnagIt for years and recently started checking out Camtasia Studio. Great products and a great company to deal with.

Darwin · « **Reply #8 on:** November 21, 2007, 10:57 PM »

Yeah - thanks for clarifying that, Chris. That was the point I was trying to make: that this free offer is for a newer, more feature rich, version than the one that mouser raved about in June 2005

We use this at work. Now I have a registered copy for my personal use. w00t. Thanks Chris.

Just a short post to note that the free license code provided by Tech Smith doesn't work and the only response I received from an imquiary is a list of FAQ type of problem fix suggestions none of which are applicable.

$:-\$ Spelling typo on the word inquiry

My license key works. I used it to make the video on the HowLong2It page.

This is probably a dumb question, but are you using exactly the same user name to register the program that you entered when you downloaded the installer?

So, since version 2, wich was merely 2½ years ago, there has been version 3, 4 and now 5 - three versions, each with the upgrading price 50% This version 5 does not sound as a good investment... can it even be more expensive?!!!!

Darwin · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2007, 11:34 PM »

Heh, heh - good point Curt. However, Camtasia 3 is a very fine application in its own right, and I see no need to upgrade to version 5.

if the offer is still valid, try requesting a new key. also just a suggestion but try copy-paste the serial number instead of keying-in yourself. for the record, mine works fine..

Darwin · « **Reply #19 on:** December 13, 2007, 12:47 AM »

Yes - lanux is right - if you've tried pasting the serial in perhaps it's time to request another key. I just checked and the offer is still valid. This will probably be quicker than going through support!

ssoundman · « **Reply #20 on:** December 13, 2007, 04:38 PM »

Has it taken anyone else longer than 24 hours to receive their serial number?

Darwin · « **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2007, 05:51 PM »

I received my serial within minutes of submitting the web form. Veign posted about this at 9:37 am PST and I received my key at 9:43 am PST... That is, as I was typing my response to Chris' original post.

ssoundman · « **Reply #22 on:** December 14, 2007, 04:29 PM »

I got it. Had to re-submit, must have typo'd my email address.

Thanks Veign!
