Techsmith offers free Camtasia Studio download
What's almost as good as stuffing your belly with a healthy Thanksgiving dinner? Free downloads! And Techsmith is offering a deal that will make your screencasting wishes come true.The company is offering its popular Camtasia Studio software up as a free download. The screencasting software currently sells for $300. But there is one small catch. The most recent version of Camtasia Studio is Camtasia 5, while the version available for free download is Camtasia 3. That means a few of the newer features will not be available. Nonetheless, it's free and upgradable to version 5 for half price if you choose.
To get started, grab your copy here, and request a registration key from Techsmith. Sorry, this is only available for PC users.

Seems the page is put up in a rush. It says you are eligible to half-price upgrade to Camtasia Studio 5.0 if using version 3.1.3 but the version to download is 3.12. And the title is "Register for your Camtasia Studio 2 Software Key". BTW, how do people know of the page, there is no link or mentioning anywhere in the website.

I'll put in a plug for Camtasia 5 -- it may be expensive, but I just used it for a site walkthrough project and it was worth the toll. Very straightforward, easy to use, and the 'live zoom' feature is awesome. If they made a Mac version at half the price I'd recommend it unreservedly... :-)

This "free" version is a very old version,
which simply stalled on my modern PC.
Had to uninstall!
(Intel Dual Core, XP Pro w/latest patches,
2 Gig RAM, etc).
The prog froze when I tried to "Produce" a final version, with the "Recommended Settings".
I tried *everything* f/their Support FAQ,
(incl. "Reduce Video Acceleration" to none, etc).
TechSmith is a good company, but installing this older "free" version in your PC is a loser.
Uninstalled!

Don't worry about the 3.1.2/3.1.3 discrepancy. If you know you want the half-price deal on 5.0, just go to the "request a registration key" link shown above. And don't worry that it says version 2, either. You can request a key on that page even if you don't download 3.anything, and then it will take you to a page where you can order the 5.0 upgrade.
