Jing - Marvellous

A while ago I asked my fellow LT's on any suitable screen recording software (both Video and Stills), Dominic Martignetti from Faculty of Education suggested Jing.

And what a suggestion, it works amazingly is very intuative to use and speeds up tasks such as creating tutorials and with a direct upload feature it means no large emails being sent can't think of anything else to say about it apart from download it, try it and smile...

I've set mine up so if I press "CTR + J" it brings up a crop box as sown below:



Once you have selected your area of interest (btw your not limited to just these boxes, Jing will also recognise areas of interest such as the content area of your web browser etc). You then have the option to capture image or video:



Amazingly once your finished capturing you then get the option to save to your local machine or to upload to their servers. If you go pro you can upload right to youtube, or save as mp4's. None pro users are free, and you can still capture photos and vidoes just you can't save as mp4 which would be nice but its no biggy.

Serious thumbs up for this...
