Camtasia for Mac records exactly what a user sees on their computer screen, what they say, and how they interact with any website or Mac-based application such as Keynote and PowerPoint. Users can then edit the content and share it online, on Screencast.com, on CDs or DVDs, or via iTunes for playback on AppleÒ portable media players such as the iPodÒ, iPhoneÔ and iPod touchÒ. TechSmith’s exclusive SmartFocus technology makes it easy to keep the viewer’s attention even on the smallest screens, and with Flash compatibility, viewers always have easy access right from their browsers.
