The jump to the 64 bits, was something Adobe did long time with Premiere, and VEGAS also some years ago. Professional editors, use Professional 64 bits software, with Machines running a 64 bits Windows, because it is more realible, faster and you can produce high quality videos with better results. The debate about the 32 bits version, is very easy to understand since a professional point of view. The product range should diversify to Camtasia 9 Lite (32 bits for customers with low profile computers)Īnd the actual one, Camtasia 9 Premium (64 bits for customers with more up to date computers) Lite versión for old computers, in 32 bits, with basic options. Now Camtasia can access all the RAM, it renders faster, it is smoother, it is a jewell. However, all government people, Federal and non Federal, use old fashion computers, obsolete and probably they won't understand what the hell is 64 bits?īUT, many professionals in the video editing industry will ask you for a 64 bits version, because it makes the system reliable and fast.

SONY VEGAS did it some years ago, they finally stopped to produce video editors in 32 bits. Is like if I sell you a flat, with 8 rooms and you only can access four, because the other four are closed with a lock. Wonderful, you have wasted the money, because with a 32 bits operating system you only will access to 4 GB. So many laptop makers (in the past), as a marketing tool, they sold you a 32 bits laptop with 8 GB RAM.

Why? because you have access to all the memory and with 32 bits, you only have access to 4 GB of RAM. What you state is very interesting, because most of the video editing software (serious and professional software) run in 64 bits.
