Yeeha! You read that right! I just heard via Jeff Mulligan (CBMall) that with the recent introduction of Camtasia Studio 5, the nice people at Techsmith are making Camtasia Studio 3.1.2 absolutely free to download.
That version is actually a few steps up from the version 3.0 that I've used to make my videos, including the most recent one which is probably not the best example, but the BlogClassroom videos are under lock and key. 🙂
You can use Camtasia to record, edit and share your screen videos and it's pretty easy to get up and running with it, even if you're not a geek.
To get the free version:
- Download the free trial version of Camtasia Studio 3 (Executable file – Not an affiliate link).
- To get the software key, click the link to register.
- Install and open the program and enter the software key and you'll have a full working version.
You'll be able to upgrade to Camtasia Studio 5, later if you want to for only $149, as opposed to the usual $299… but Version 3 should give you all you need.

Hi Rosalind – been a huge fan of yourrs for years. Congrats on all your continued success!
Have a WEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee biut of a problemo! I downloaded the Camtasia .exe accepted ALL terms, went to get the ‘free’ version ( not ‘free-trial’) but my Irish eyes can’t seem to find the all important KEY to get the FREE version, free and clear. And Rossi…I don’t have moral or ethical issues for working my butt off or paying my way. I’m one of the recently big time successful internet entrepreneurs since 1997 (that built and sold a killer dating site in 03′ to the wrogn company..type of a guy) THAT still to this day my ‘M&A partner has still not succeeded in exiting in sale to the big boys) so I lost my shirt and need help in restarting in ANYWAY possible – HENCE the need for a free ‘bump’ on this Camtasia studio.. Did this make sense at all?? ANYWHO, could not find how to GET A KEY and wish not to build 30 demo vidoes only to publish them on day ’29’ and have them MIA on the first of October when I finally relaunch.. – [ Guess I could have just asked you where I am suppose to get the key:)] – I downloaded and erum no link to get it for ME anyway – can you help me please? Thanks and again, congratulations on your consisten success! ~Neal
I would like to thank you for the link for this free download.
But, more importantly, I would like to thank you for all of the free information that you have on your site for newbies.
I am as new to making a living on line as a babe in arms. I have been trying to get some blogs set up and my site (shown above with nothing on it).
Being a 70 year old Great-Grandmother who was educated in accounting and made my living in that for many years (before retiring & loosing all my retirement savings in Enron) does not make the starting any easier. It simply means that anything I start must be free or very close to it.
I have written several pretty good articles as an affiliate and submited them to numorus article sites. But, after more than three month, I have only made $45.01.
It seems that everytime I get started on one thing, I am bombarded with numorus e-mails. Each one of them encouraging me to go a different way. That has confused and sidetracked me quite a bit.
On your site, the info is clear and simple enough for me to understand.
I am glad I found you, so thanks again,
Joyce
Thank you for the recommendation Downloaded Yet to install
Thank you Manoj!
Makes me glad that I didn’t do the upgrade to Vista… and also makes me wonder how many other programs wouldn’t work properly either. Yikes!

This version is very useful for people using XP since Vista users may not be able to get the output files in ver3.1 they need the latest version.
