Filmora is Chinese made product that is a worthy competitor to the other tools on the market. It is about one tenth of the cost of Camtasia. You can create and edit videos importing external videos, audio and images in multiple formats. It also has “easy” mode which allows the creation of a video based on themes including all the transitions and music.
6. Tawe

Tawe is slightly different and is a tool to create a video from a single image. You can use your mobile device to take a photo of a drawing then zoom in and create images of portions of the image. So, If you have drawn something on a whiteboard or flip-chart it allows you to drill in to areas of the chart, make a voice-over, publish to a site then share as a mp4 video, or via Facebook, Twitter etc.
7. Magisto
