Camtasia on Mac

Posted by: admin In: Misc

This won’t make much sense to my regular readers unless you’re working on a mac and looking to use Camtasia.

I know this has been written about in various locations…I’ve searched for a long time to find a working solution to getting Camtasia Studio working on my Mac.

I’m pleased to write that after trying Bootcamp & Parallels on numerous times with so-so luck… I’ve now finally got Camtasia working on my mac in perfect form.
I download VMWare Fusion last week, reformatted my MacBook and did a clean install. I then installed VMWare Fusion and installed Windows XP SP2. After that I installed Camtasia Studio.
First few things to point out.

  1. Camtasia is working perfectly on my mac.
  2. VMWare Fusion is the best use of Windows on a Mac yet. Unless I’m totally missing something, this software runs windows like a bullet. WAY better than Parallels or Bootcamp.
  3. All drivers, audio, video recording are working flawlessly with Camtasia.

So yes, now you can finally properly run camtasia on a mac.
Cheers

Congratulations!
Does that mean that Camtasia can record the behavior of OS-X applications, or just other Windows aps installed under VMWare?
Any output samples out there?

Just VNC into your MAC from Xp or Vista and record it with Camtasia. Works beautifully!
