How I Really Use Snagit, Camtasia, and Audiate

After more than a decade as one of the most recognizable voices behind TechSmith webinars, Jason Valade knows the tools inside and out. But today, he’s using Snagit, Camtasia, and Audiate from a completely different perspective—not as an employee, but as a customer.

In this candid session, Jason sits down with Emmie Musser, current TechSmith team member and former colleague, for an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about what’s changed since he left, and what’s held up in the real world.

Together, they’ll unpack:

How Jason actually uses TechSmith tools in his current role
What he’s stopped doing and what matters more now
Practical workflows that prioritize speed, clarity, and impact
Where these tools shine (and where they don’t)

Through a mix of guided conversation, real examples, and live audience questions, you’ll get an unfiltered look at how these tools perform when outcomes are what matter most.

This isn’t a polished demo or a feature walkthrough. It’s a reality check from someone who’s been on both sides guided by someone who knows exactly how he used to think.
