Did someone know what software they use > the Youtubers who make audio tutorials for screenshot capture and editing. I think about zooming and placing the different takes on the line... Is it simply Premiere and a Camtasia for capture like I already have?

I need this for my music on social medias.

 

I think most people use obsproject.com/
but i have no idea about that.

edit: oh sorry an editing software... misread

 

In many cases it'll be Techsmith Camtasia. Stable & versatile.
It's dedicated for this kind of work. Including picture in picture, mouse capture.
And you can easily find it as k'd on Google or buy it.
I've used it a lot to make instructional videos for internal use in our company so I'm comfortable with it. But it depends as always...

Alternative is OBS (open brodcasters studio)
I don't find it that easy to use but it depends on what you are used to work with...
It's freeware and you can use it flawlessly with Stream deck.

also Adobe Premier. Some people still use Vegas. Davinci Resolve is more than you would need. Camtasia and OBS for screen captures.

Some people have difficulty with Camtasia setup for sound.

 

OP, Turn on the Autocorrect please..

OBS is the majority of use on Youtube tutorials and it's free, has ASIO support and you can record what you hear and see. One tip is to use MKV then use handbrake to convert it to Mp4 as MKV is easier to deal with frame issues or if OBS crashes as MP4 is terrible with this issues when capturing.

Have fun!!

 

Yes, many YouTubers use Premiere Pro for editing and Camtasia for screen capture, just like you have. Premiere is great for detailed editing, zooming, and placing multiple takes on the timeline. Camtasia is often used for easy screen recording and basic editing, especially for tutorials. Some may also use OBS Studio for recording, but your current setup should work well for creating audio tutorials with screenshot capture and editing.

 

If you're looking for something easier than Premiere but still want a professional look for YouTube music and tutorial videos, I've found using a more straightforward editor makes things faster. I've tried Camtasia but always felt limited with transitions and effects, especially for social clips. Recently, I've switched to an mp4 video editor that handles big files really well and makes adding text, music, and simple animations super quick. My edits for Instagram and YouTube are much less stressful now.
If you mostly want to trim takes, zoom in/out, and get your audio synced up without tons of setup, this has been way more beginner-friendly for me than Camtasia or Resolve. I found this workflow works really well for music channels, especially when combining screen captures and short video cuts.
