OKEMOS, Mich. -- TechSmith Corp., the world's leading provider of screen capture and recording solutions, today announced the latest update to Camtasia Studio has earned the "Works with" Windows Vista logo. Camtasia Studio enables individuals with no programming or multimedia expertise to create screencasts for software demonstrations, interactive training, online marketing content, and PowerPoint-based video presentations.

"Camtasia Studio is ready for organizations to create online multimedia training and presentations as they adopt and rollout Windows Vista to their employees, partners and students," said Troy Stein, Camtasia Studio Product Manager at TechSmith. "In fact, the blogosphere is already populated with numerous Camtasia Studio screencasts showing Vista and Office 12's new look, features and workflow."

"Microsoft is pleased that TechSmith has earned the Works with Windows Vista software logo for Camtasia Studio," said Dave Wascha, director of Windows Client Partner Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp. "By certifying their applications, TechSmith is letting their customers know that their product has met standards of operating system compatibility, and will deliver an improved experience on a PC running Windows Vista."

Camtasia Studio automatically records exactly what a user sees on a computer screen, what they say, and how they interact with PowerPoint or any Windows-based application or website. Individuals can then edit the interactive content and share it online in all popular streaming media formats, including Flash (SWF, FLV), portable media player formats, or fixed media such as CD or DVD. Users can also import video from digital camcorders to enhance their screen recordings.
