I have to capture screen or window or some custom region content once in a while. Untill now I always used (Ctrl+)PrtScrn Windows feature. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this method. It is just complicated and time consuming – if you ever did it you know what I am talking about.
So I decided to try SnagIt. SnagIt is everything that screen content capture utility should be. It lets you capture whatever content you want (entire screen, window, custom region, etc.) and after the capture it opens a picture editor where you can manipulate the result as you wish and. It is overloaded with (very useful) features you always wanted to have, really.
Anyway, here is a sample that took me only few seconds and few clicks:
It is definitely a must have utility.
Yes, you gotta have one of them screen snatchers. That’s why I love Vista’s new Snipping tool. Not much features, but fast and easy. And WLW plugin for inserting Snipping images is already available.
Snagit is a good tool, but often a better choice is to capture a video. My Screen Recorder is one of the best screen recording software. It records your screen and audio from the speakers or your voice from the microphone – or both simultaneously. The recordings are clear and look great when played back on your website, uploaded to YouTube or used in your presentation. One thing often overlooked – It will record directly to standard compressed format that works with any video editor or any tool, no conversion required. And, the file sizes are small, making them easy to upload or distribute.
