      using legit snagit for years, video capture is crap tbh. it records external sounds thru the speakers, not thru the system.
      In a meeting or whatever conference if u use a bluetooth kit it wont record anything but ambient sound of the room, this is really disappointing

    I've been using Snagit for simple screen capture for a few years but had forgotten it is capable of far more. Thanks for your representation Steve; a really useful refresher.

    • @dottotech

      I don't think you are alone. Most people just use the simple capture, and maybe some markup.

    If you get to the point that you see the value in this amazing program but the price seems a little steep remember one thing, this is a truly “you get what you pay for” item. You will have the ability to produce outstanding presentations and audio visuals. It will seem a tad overwhelming at first, but as you navigate and produce you will sit back and smile knowing that you are able to be a level above your competition. Lastly, Steve you are one of the best! Your personality and presentations are top notch!

    I used to be a big fan of snagit. Used it for I bet over a decade professionally. Now there's the built in snag routine. Hit Windows+shift+s. It's on every windows 10 box. Now you can cut whatever you want and paste it into something like Word. No saving a file or any of that. This is the way I do it now.
    Thanks for the good times Snagit. I've moved on.

  • @olbaze
    @olbaze 2 года назад +1

    I think your end summary can have a darker undertone to it: A tool that gets better over time means that leaving that tool becomes more and more difficult. This is exactly how platforms and ecosystems end up locking users into them.

    • @dottotech
      @dottotech  2 года назад

      Why would you attach a negative connotation to that?
      A company improves it's product and you consider it to be manipulative?

    • @olbaze
      @olbaze 2 года назад

      ​@@dottotech Not manipulative, just a potential vector for abuse. If you develop a good product, and get people invested in it, then you may reach a point where you can do pretty much whatever you want, and the users will accept it as the new standard, because leaving has become too costly. A great example of this would be Adobe with their Creative Cloud. I personallly know people who have used Adobe stuff professionally for a long time, and they can't afford to leave it, but at the same time they don't like paying subscriptions for a bunch of apps they will never use.
      Personally, a similar concern has lead to me moving to using Linux instead of Windows. Microsoft looks to be piloting their programs to subscription models, and Windows is becoming a datamining/advertisement platform. I didn't want to risk a scenario where one day I wake up, and Microsoft has announced that the next Windows version will require a 9.99€/month subscription and everyone on older versions of Windows will be forcibly upgraded to it.
      All that being said, your demonstration of Snagit does make it look like a very powerful tool for quick, easy, minor photo editing stuff. Probably great for making custom RUclips thumbnails, or adding helpful pictures to a PDF guide.

  • @madnessofmymind

    It's nice to see PC and can do basic default functions that are on the Galaxy Note series and SPen since forever ago. I wish I came across this PC software a long time ago because the desktop was a clunky experience trying to screenshots and share in general. But now I see the mobile workflow dominating as you are not tethered to a ball and chain of a PC at a location plus mobile chips are powerful for up to 8k video editing. I'm waiting for the Samsung S8 Ultra tablet that comes with an S-pen and with that all the crazy stuff you can do with thanks to the Note series smartphone. I live a mobile computing life. I may give this a try if I'm stuck doing work on the ole desktop.

Thank you SO much for demonstrating that. So handy! Ditto (pun intended!) regarding the video/screen-casting functionality. I know It is an awesome program and that I've been under-utilizing it, so this "quickie" overview/demo has really readied me to take advantage of its capabilities more fully. Can't wait!!👌

    Lots of features indeed. But I also find it a little time-consuming to use. For quick captures that require just a frame, an arrow or a quick textbox, TechSmith also has the free "TechSmith Capture", which takes the place of my beloved but sadly departed Jing.
    I'll take another look at Snagit though. It seems great for captures that have a bit more 'longevity', so to speak.

    It is not over priced I must say but it can be frustrating. I created a series of images to use in a template. I added text then wanted to use an arrow as a visual aide to accompany the text. When I did the text disappeared ARRRGGGGHHH! Glad I have the free version. However it is one of the few freebies I have that I'd actually pay for. Adobe ? NEVER such a rip off

I usually like your recommendations - but this time 👎 It's not an issue with the software. It is just that the software does not like to tango with my Mac. /// For the record I would now - one week later (there have been holidays) want to add that after another session sharing my screen with their tech support Snagit is now running on my Mac. I really like it but understand that there can be some fiddling before you can get it installed properly. Now I look forward to Snagit!

    I'm not so convinced its as good as advertised. I could still see its GUI in my video and my image was scalled out of view on the sides because I cut off the title bar and taskbar, so it zoomed in and lost the left and right parts of the section of capture, plus in the middle of recording, I wanted to mute audio and couldn't find the button when its running, which is stupid for a recording app, all the transport and video and audio controls must be right there on the bar that sticks out on top of my videos even though I don't want it to show. So yeah its just another screen recorder, but I don't think its very good. It works, but isn't very intuitive in terms of its programming.

    Nothing else is close means, no other competitor have tried right.
    It does not mean that SnagIt is ultimate.
    I face lot of issues everytime after some idle time. It gives me blank or black pages when I capture a screen after some usage.
    I have either restart my sysyem or just find a regilar printScreen or snippit in windows until I restart.
    Is it happening to me alone? Still that is not correct.

    But what about Camtasia when it comes to screen recording?
    Am I only able to capture part of my screen using Snagit, while Camtasia can only capture the entire screen?

    Great video but quick question - how do you change the shape of the onscreen recording video from a square to the orange circle? I might have to stick with Loom until I can figure that out lol.

    I use to prnt screen and select what i wanted to capture with the crosshairs, and it would automatically, right away open in editor, somehow ii messed it up, and now it has brought in that extra step of the options to select what you want to do, capture or video or whatever. Do you know how to get rid of that extra step, and take me right to the editor part. Please help. I do not want the all in one tool bar, i just want to make my selection and soon as i select my area, it opens in editor Many Blessings

    I am confused about where my screenshots would be kept. Heather Major's comment below reads as though SnagIt is an online product. Does this mean I cannot save the work I do to my own computer?

    Hi, Steve! How the heck are you? 😉 Quick beginner's question if you wouldn't mind …
    I notice that your background is slightly out of focus. I really like that look. Is that a setting you can do inside Camtasia, or is that done within your camera hardware settings?
    Thanks!
