Snagit- Best Kept Secret for Mac & Windows

I have been a long time fan and user of Snagit from TechSmith, Inc for many years now and I am always amazed at the features. One of the newer features is the ability to capture video from your screen which has really come in handy lately as I am developing some eLearning modules. While many of us will  initially think of using Snagit to capture screen images the latest version of Snagit can capture video along with audio and System audio making it indispensable tool for instructors and eLearning developers who are looking for a quick and easy way to capture video off of the screen. I recently created a short video using GoAnimate and wanted to save it in MP4 format to insert into an Adobe Presenter 8 module I was creating. Using Snagit's new ability to capture the GoAnimate video was a piece of cake and the quality of the video capture was outstanding. So take a look at Snagit and see how you might use it- it is one of the best kept secret and is available for Mac and Windows. Here is the example of what was captured using Snagit

     

Snagit 9 Send to Screencast Output

I just received an email from TechSmith about a new Screencast.com Output which I just had to download and try. There are many times when you want to be able to show someone a graphic or screenshot but you don't want to necessarily send them the graphic. With the new Screencast.com Output installed grab your screenshot and click on the Screencast.com output- which will automatically send your graphic to your Screencast account. When you send your graphic you can decide if you want to just have Screencast prepare a URL link or the Embedded code for your website or a blog. It is really that easy as you can see below. Snagit 9 just keeps getting better and better! Thanks TechSmith :-)
