FREE version OR Snagit version ($50). Download at Can be installed locally on Windows and Mac systems. - Window XP or later - Mac OSX or later Record and share screen capture as a video. Capable of capturing screen shots

The Jing icon sits along the side of the screen until its ready to be used. Hovering over the icon displays three options: 1.Capture 2.History 3.More

The program allows the user to select the entire screen or part of the screen for recording. This image shows the are that has been selected for capture

“Pros: Easy to use in record mode. Cons: Difficult to playback (.swf). Couldn’t get flash to play it back. Summary: I’m going to look for a different one” (Fred_Fox). “What began as a freeware project to easily share basic screen captures and screen recordings has grown into a solid application and capture distribution system” (Dolcourt).

 I rate Jing a 6 out 10 because it is missing important features.  TechSmith also offers a paid version call Snagit which has a lot more features and options. o Only allows 5 minutes of recording o Does not support camera recording o Does not allow changes to be made to the cursor o Cannot add text to video o Saves file as.swf format only
