Camtasia on the PC is *awesome* - really impressive software. $99 is a steal assuming the Mac client is as good as the PC one...

Yep, it's a shame that all of my screencasts need to be PC based...hmm, I wonder how well this would work with VMWare Fusion??? I'll have to download the trial and give it a go. $99 is right in the "hey boss I really need this and it doesn't cost squat" sweet spot that $299 ain't...

Jason, do you use Camtasia for your YouTubery?

Bummer. The Apple product seems geared more towards the blogger than the professional (not that I'm professional but I would use some of the Education-focused features). I'll still give it a whirl, though.

If Camtasia doesn't work out for you, be sure to check out ScreenFlow. v2.0 is just around the corner (http://dev.telestream.net/company/press/2009-08-24.htm).

Yeah, if you look at my "Zune 101" videos, that's Camtasia.
