Just for accuracy, TechSmith has said it would honor legacy maintenance pricing for AT LEAST five years but it hasn't said they wouldn't do it for longer or how they would transition pricing at that point. There are no plans to double or triple pricing overnight at any point. (I work for TechSmith).

Also if you just needed screen recording, there is now a 100% free online Camtasia online product as well. It doesn't have annotations yet but neither do some other suggestions here and new functionality is being added regularly.

First, welcome to ElevenForum!

I apologize for the bluntness, but please don't gaslight me.

Stating that "there are no plans to double or triple pricing overnight" is a statement of pure fiction, right? For Camtasia, my renewal of maintenance MORE THAN TRIPLED from last year (see my screenshots and explanation in post #1 of this thread) and the price is already guaranteed to increase further each year during the transition.

I'm not knocking the products - both are top notch in my opinion, but the price clearly reflects a focus on businesses (especially for Camtasia) without any regard for us individual users. I was planning on buying additional licenses, but have instead determined that my 2025 renewal will likely be my last as I test multiple alternatives.

Again, I apologize for the bluntness, but your assertion does not appear to match reality.

    The five 8TB drives and three 512GB SSDs are part of a DrivePool using StableBit DrivePool software. The three SSDs are devoted purely to caching for the 8TB drives. All of the important data is stored in triplicate so that I can withstand simultaneous failure of 2 disks.
