I have faced issues with the opening and processing of the program on my older Windows laptop. However, when working on timelines, I have not encountered as much lagging as long as I reduce the resolution of the video project I'm working on. I am still in the process of gaining proficiency with the program, but I have had a positive overall experience thus far. Read all insights and reviews for Adobe Premiere Pro

Synthesia has completely transformed how we produce video content. From the moment we started using it, the intuitive interface made it easy for everyone on our team—regardless of technical skills—to create high-quality, professional videos in minutes. The platform is packed with options, yet never feels overwhelming, and the output quality consistently exceeds expectations. The flexibility to customize avatars, voices, and styles means we can adapt content for any audience or purpose.

I have been using Camtasia for quite some time both from the education side to help create instructional videos for students and staff and now corporate L&D. Camtasia has been a staple of my learning development and instructional design tech stack. From creating professional looking screencasts to micro learning videos, to instructional trainings or recreations of in person training sessions. Camtasia has provided me a way to polish even the most basic of video recordings and embed them with engaging elements that make them more engaging for learners.Read all insights and reviews for Camtasia

Wistia has an easy to use UX, with versatile customisation features. It has been an instrumental tool for bringing on demand recordings to our website due to its native integration with Webflow. Since it is not mandatory to have an account to be able to access the url, it has become a key player in sharing content internally. We are excited to test out the HS form integration, which will play a role in gating the recordings directly across different platforms and sites.Read all insights and reviews for Wistia
