You are joking! Windows Media Encoder does NOTHING like Camtasia! What are
you talking about?
Camtasia is good but far from perfect or great. I find the videos of simple
screen shots and movements quite good. However, if you play a video window
or animation during your capture, it will be a nightmare to get it converted
well. I own Camtasia and have also tried every shareware and freeware. All
of these programs use a brute force method of capturing screen video changes
and really cannot keep up with video or animation at ca. 30 fps at all. If
that is your goal in your captures under Premiere, prepare to be very
frustrated.
