EduTechie: EASY! Screen Capture and Share? Forget Camtasia, Try Jing!

  • Paul R. Pival · 2 years ago
    Hi Jeff, I've also been getting a lot of use out of Jing for the past couple of weeks. You can get the embed code for an image or movie, but you have to do it from the screencast.com site after you've saved the capture there. No sound on the machine I'm on now, but this quick movie should do the trick for explaining it :-)

    Oh that is just awesome Paul. Thanks for not only showing me how to embed but just how easy it is to create a Jing video. Nice!

    Just to be clear, Jing is made by the same people as Camtasia - TechSmith. It is also the company's first foray into Mac screen capture.

    Hello Jeff,

    Great article, thanks!

    A couple of points. For educators there is an educational discount on Camtasia which makes it much more feasible.

    Also, as you mention in the "missing"-section, the editing is a substantial part of the product as well as easy importation of powerpoint.

    Hi Jeff! Cary pointed me to your blog... Anyway, Jing looks like a great tool. I'll probably put it to use this week in my job as I'm preparing a presentation at work about how to do simple image editing. I can use Jing to record my screen doing a couple simple image editing tasks and point other staff members to the videos as reference. Thanks for the link and overview!

    I will have to try Jing! I have used Snapz Pro X on the Mac and Wink on the PC for these tasks. By the way, I have tagged you :-) http://nhokanson.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/i-hav...

    Hi Jeff,

    Thanks for the tip on Jing. I am trying to use Jing to cpature a PowerPoint presentation and having a rough time of it. Have you or anyone had any experience, or should I say luck with this?

    Thanks for your time.
