Camtasia Studio vs. Macromedia Captivate

For my work with online tutorials I use both Camtasia and Captivate to produce material (which I then export to/as Flash). I’m fairly new to both programs so I suspect I’ve only just scrateched the surface so far… but it seems to me that both programs have severe draw-backs… for my purposes anyway.

To me, as an old school webdesigner, working with either program feels like being forced to create a website using Front Page. Sure, there are some nifty features and time savers, but to get what I want in the end there is a hell of a lot of clean-up to do. :wink:

I was hoping to hear from other users of these programs (holding my breath that I posted in the appropriate place). Or people who have found alternative software solutions to these two.

What do you use these programs for… and what are the major pros and cons in your opinion?

Thanks in advanmce for any feed-back you might have. :slight_smile:
