2014-07-17 Thread Ahniwa Ferrari

We have hired services in the past but I always felt they were overpriced and the quality wasn't great. We started doing our own for certain projects (you can add your own transcriptions in YouTube, which is handy, and then it will automatically provide translated versions for you). I always

2014-02-27 Thread Ahniwa Ferrari
I've used both Camtasia and SnagIt and I like both well enough. SnagIt is cheap and dead simple for the screen capturing process; not a lot of bells and whistles but I don't need / want those. I've also used a lot of video editing tools (since SnagIt doesn't have much itself) and these days mostly
