On the PC, I use Camtasia to record various screencasts. Is there something similar for the Mac?

Have you tried the Mac version of Camtasia?

Personally I prefer ScreenFlow.

Quicktime X can do this by default on Snow Leopard.

How can you do this with Quicktime? – Yar Apr 29 '10 at 19:34

Theres a myriad of these for Mac, but one that stands out for me is Capture Me, it's free and open source. Not to mention very easy to use:

Features:

  • Globally floating capture window.
  • Record short MPEG-4 QuickTime movies.
  • Fast screen captures (uses OpenGL).
  • Ability to down scale captures (proportionally or not).
  • Save as PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, TIFF, or GIFF.
  • Adjustable translucency of capture window.
  • Several ways to adjust the size and position of the capture (move the window, arrow keys, scroll wheel).
  • Nifty capture sound.
  • Options to auto-save to desktop, auto-copy to clipboard, etc.
  • Barest beginnings of AppleScript support.
  • Written with Cocoa - native to Mac OS X.
  • Universal binary - Intel, PPC native.

QuickTime X will do screen recording, www.screentoaster.com is a free web-based screen recorder, there are lots of screen capture programs for the Mac, ScreenFlow is a very popuar one, but if you are used to Camtasia and like it, Camtasia has a Mac version.

I've been pretty happy with iShowU HD for $30 USD.

I prefer Snapz Pro for any Mac screencasting.
