New Snagit for Screencasts, Jing Pro Dead, and Webinar
March 13th, 2012 by Greg R Notess
Techsmith released a new version of Snagit on Feb. 28. Snagit is a great, full-featured screen shot (still image) program. With versions 11 for Windows and 2 for Mac, Snagit now has much more robust screencast (video) capabilities as well.
Want to see it in action via a Webinar? If you are reading this in time, there is a webinar today at 1PM EDT (and another on March 22 at the same time). Register at Techsmith for these webinars that are supposed to include “real-life examples of how you can use the new Snagit.”
Note that with the launch of the new versions of Snagit, Techsmith is retiring Jing Pro. The free Jing is still available, but Techsmith decided that the Pro features are not better served with Snagit.
The screencast recording functions of Snagit do not include editing but do include easy uploading to YouTube, Screencast.com, and more publication sources. Here’s a quick demo about a Google Patent Fail uploaded to Screencast.com.
