Camtasia is desktop/screen capture software that helps create and combine a variety of video content that is used to make vodcasts. Camtasia is able to live capture what is currently open on your screen and then make that content ready for editing after recording is completed.  Various effects such as zoom, text, shapes, and drawings can be added in the video process. Audio files can be imported from software such as Audacity to overlay the video content. However, this is not totally necessary if you are confident in your audio coming from the recording in Camtasia. Consequently, due to Camtasia being only editing software, it is not capable of live streaming and the user can only make pre-recorded material.<ref>http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html</ref>
