You can share your views about Snagit with me. Camtasia is professional software for screen recording. It has many advanced effects like cursor effects, noise cancellation, highlight words, blur password, zoom in, zoom out and transition effects. I would suggest you to use this software once you get some knowledge about screen recording. I have used all this software which I have mentioned here in Hubpages. Camtasia has inbuilt video editor which is quiet useful for editing. You can directly upload the video to YouTube of another site from the software.
