TechSmith Fuse Reviews

by Critic5050

If for some reason you are forced to use TechSmithFuse in 2021 for school or work I feel bad for you. This feels like an app that would have been on the original iPhone. Glitchy and not user friendly. Avoid if possible.

After many calls to support, all I get is that TechSmithFuse doesn’t connect to Snagit anymore, and they have no idea why, and no solution “sorry, Fuse is a weird program with issues that we can’t diagnose or fix”. Gee, thanks.

Dear Software Developer,

1. Purchase iPad Pro 12.9” Pro (or 11”)

2. Purchase Logi Slim Folio Pro (or perhaps a Brydge Keyboard)

3. Attach iPad to keyboard

4. Go to App Store, Install your App

5. Launch Your App

6. Take note that Your App doesn’t work so well in Landscape Mode

7. Modify your app to work in Landscape only Mode

8. Watch user change your rating from one stars to more than one stars

Regards,
ANNOYED iPad Pro 12.9” user with an attached keyboard

I need this for my school and TechSmithFuse just keeps crashing on me?

by Astoug

Won’t connect. Completely useless.

I don't see the point of this. So you get an app to record videos or take pictures – can't the iPhone iPad do that already? Why do we need a new app to do that? What would be really useful if they have something like the functionality of Camtasia itself, where we could draw on a screen or a picture and have the voice over captured. Because doing that with a tablet is MUCH easier than on a laptop. It's too bad they did not think of that.… As it is, I doubt I will ever use this.

Can only delete pics via Library > Select ; but trash can is greyed out when viewing each pic...??

I have Camtasia on my computer and wanted to use TechSmithFuse to record screencast videos from my iPad. Wish this feature is available as the infrastructure is set up in Fuse.

I love my TechSmith products and I find them indispensable for work. It gives me the edge within my team. I would love the integrate Fuse into my workflow, but TechSmithFuse is slow and buggy. Please fix Fuse. Otherwise, you guys have great software!

TechSmithFuse performs the function I need (sending pictures from my phone to SnagIt program on my PC) but it takes too many steps to complete this simple task for me to give it more than 3 stars. I have to open TechSmithFuse , click albums, click camera roll, click the picture, click share, and then click SnagIt. Now those 6 steps may not seem like a lot, but for something that is supposed to increase workflow I need a better shortcut that I can set on TechSmithFuse than that. Especially since the process is not complex.

Works great. My only complaint is that imported video seems to get reduced to a lower resolution. Videos captured in TechSmithFuse can be recorded at 1080p.

It is wonderful to see the people at Camtasia still managing to come out with different content for their products then any of their competitors. TechSmithFuse is great for those who bought their service already (I personally own Camtasia Pro) and will take out the annoying phase of having to sync up the phone with iTunes and its annoying "We now want to up 900 things in your phone" thingy. At the end of the day, its only useful if you have a Camtasia Product. Camtasia, add more power to editing on TechSmithFuse if are looking to keep your competitors at bay. The mobile device is commonly overlooked as far as that stuff goes.

TL;DR : App is great for Camtasia owners. Otherwise, this is pretty much worthless. Could use more features, but is stable and ready to be used.

by Mocely

Works perfect for what it does. Super convenient to just have a picture or video sent straight to Camtasia easily. It would be sweet if it allowed screen recording on the iPhone or a screen shot function since that's usually what I import to Camtasia.

Also, something else to note is it is super optimized for the iPhone 5 which is a big plus.

So much easier than taking photo with phone/ sending to myself via email/ saving mommy pc from email/ THEN Finally opening in snagit.

by CSCTechnology

As a long time fan of Snagit, I gave Camtasia a try, and never looked back. I have made over 20 training videos for over 100 employees with ease. Still, I found getting media from my phone to either of those programs took a little doing and more time than I would prefer. This is no longer an issue with the introduction of Fuse. Nice work!!

by YoDanYo

I have Snagit on my computer. Snagit is the most powerful screen capture tool that saves me hours in providing instruction or just clarifying with picture or illustration.

Fuse took about 2 minutes to install and send an image from my phone to my laptop on the same wifi! It is very intuitive, fast, and easy to use!

I now use this nearly everyday, from marking photo's to taking screenshots of whiteboards or signs and instantly share them from my phone to my pc.

I am going to buy Camtasia now, because TechSmith has won my trust in great software!

If you have a TechSmith product, Fuze is the perfect companion app!

App help lots

by Garythelazy

Wonderful way to transfer iPhone or iPad screenshots and/or photos to snagit on my PC. I love TechSmithFuse.

by Lsholtzen

Not sure about some of these low reviews, I use this with snagit and works exactly as advertised. Love it!

by Hayderjaafar

by Tahitian Palm

Unsure of why all the low rated reviews but it works perfectly for me. I’ve been using Snagit for many years and TechSmithFuse is a perfect compliment to my desktop program. Maybe some expect too much or really don’t understand what they are doing or attempting to accomplish. It even works well with older versions of Snagit like version 11.

by Dsimcox

A great basic camera integrated with a wifi connection to upload photos right into the SnagIt editor.

The camera includes photo, video, touch to set exposure and focus, flash and zoom.

You can also use photos from your Camera Roll taken by other cameras.

Very easy to set up if your phone and Mac are on the same wifi network - and you have the new version of SnagIt installed on your Mac.

Of course there are other ways to get a photo into SnagIt but TechSmithFuse accomplishes it without even touching your Mac.

Very innovative and nicely done, Tech Smith. You have a winner here! Thank you for the new feature.

by James Stroud

I use Snagit on my desktop and Mac computer all the time. This little app makes it incredibly easy to share pictures from your phone to your snag it on your desktop or Mac. I'm impressed with both the set up and ease-of-use it is pretty nifty. I have no affiliation with tech smith

by It Works As Described!

I was able to install this in a couple minutes and have it sync up to my surface Pro and share images and videos that I recorded on my iPhone and all I used was the Fuse app. Transfer was pretty fast.

by Holcman

I've been waiting for a way to be able to edit videos I take on my iPad (I don't have a good video camera for updates and vlogs) and that day is finally here! Thank you Techsmith, for being amazing as always!

by Scott_S.

Downloaded version 1.3.0 of TechSmithFuse . Installed it and it worked right away. Very easy to send images from my iPhone 5S to my SnagIt desktop editor. I was surprised at how fast the transfer was too.
