snagit10-out-now“Snagit 10.0 – Oh, yea…”

Your favorite screen capture software Snagit just came in a brand new fully upgraded version, Snagit 10. The new version is loaded with a lot of amazing stuff.

A new feature that will mean a big difference in how you work with Snagit is the All-in-one Capture. This means you  no longer need to choose what you want to capture beforehand (area, window, screen and so on), but instead you do this at the same time that you are capturing the screen. This is an fantastic improvement, but really only one of many…

This website is mostly about Snagit. I don’t talk much (here) about other great software titles. In many ways, especially video recording, the big brother of Snagit is really Camtasia Studio. Well this post is a tribute to that big brother.

If Snagit is the ultimate tool to take any kind of screen shots, copy text, images and what-not from your screen, then Camtasia is the ultimate tool to record video from your screen. This is excellent when you want to create tutorials or any kind of instructional videos related to computer or internet use. Perfect to do software presentations, demos and so on.

Our all time favorite Screen Recording / Screencasting software Camtasia Studio is growing up. Camtasia was first released at Comdex 1999. Camtasia has come a long way in these last 10 years and are now available both on Mac and PC platform.

Techsmith compiled a cool timeline below that shows Camtasia milestones, advertising and logos, reviews, feature releases and technology milestones. Check it out:

To celebrate Camtasia’s 10th birthday, SoftwareCasa has a sale on Snagit Screen Capture and Camtasia Screen Recording software!

For a limited time, save an extra 10% on already-discounted volume licenses of Camtasia Studio, Snagit, or both in a bundle. Offer ends December 7, 2009. SoftwareCasa is also doing a special price on Snagit Single user - $47.00.

Snagit for Mac Announced

powered by Wordpress Multibox Plugin v1.3.5

Snagit for MacI have exciting news for all Macintosh users out there that has been waiting for Snagit for Mac. TechSmith (the maker of Snagit and Camtasia) has just announced that they are in the early development stages for Snagit on the Mac OS operating system.

The subject of Snagit for Mac is one of our most visited blog posts on this blog so the interest for this is nothing less than spectacular. Also the fact that many people that work within the graphics industry are working on Mac computers will also make this product one of the most interesting launches.

You can read the Betsy Webers blog post announcing the Snagit is coming news here. Betsy is mentioning that the product is in early development and my guess is that this means that it will be launched in a year or so. The announcement came only a day after the release of Camtasia for Mac.

We will be following the development of this product so if you are interested I suggest you sign up for our special Snagit for Mac subscriber list here.

star3Say goodbye to Print Screen, for the Screen Capture Tools are here. Snagit 9.0 was just voted Best Screen Capture Tool in LifeHacker’s poll for best screen capture tool.

Snagit 9
Snagit 9 was just released and I have to say I really like it :-)

As a “snagger” i’d obviously prefer to sum it up in an image (see below), but if I have to say it in 3 words i would have to say – fast, easy and slick…

I need a little more time to test all the new different functions and additions, then give you more of an in-depth Snagit 9 review at a later date, but so far I am very impressed.

Read more about the new functions below…

Snagit License Question

Hello Snagit User ;-)

In this post you’ll find answers to the most common license and download questions – I lost Snagit, what do I do? I want to install Snagit on a second computer, can I? I lost my license key, can I get it back?

In connection to the emails we sent out the last weeks we have gotten a lot of similar questions and I am guessing you also perhaps could benefit from the answers.

But first, a BIG thanks to everyone that contributed to the blog post “Snagit 9 Wishlist“. We have had a fantastic response with more than 70 comments and counting.

I will huff and puff for these ideas to the Snagit development team and hopefully they will listen and implement many of them in near future releases.

If you have more ideas you would like to see implemented, please don’t hesitate to comment on the blog post and I will keep pushing for them.

Read on for common Snagit license and download questions…

Snagit 9 Effects

Help me improve Snagit…

In my humble opinion (but running this blog, perhaps a little biased) Snagit is as good as software can be. And I know many readers agree. But as someone once said, there is always room for improvement. That’s why I am curious as to what you would like to add if/when Snagit 9.0 is released.

I will send all comments to the Snagit development team so please include any additions to Snagit that you have thought about, are missing, you would like to add and so on. Please pour your heart out in the comment section below!

If you have colleagues, friends and family using Snagit, please ask them to put in their 5 cents here too.

The popular cliché “think outside the box” is perhaps true, but sometimes it’s easier to “think inside the box” so here is a basic breakdown of areas/functions you may have ideas about or want to change:

  • Graphic interface. Is it easy to use, could it be improved, perhaps a complete new layout? Do you have any other software products that you think has a great layout that Snagit could benefit from looking at and so on. Share your ideas.
  • Capture functionality. Are there any capture modes you feel are missing? Could there be other changes to the capture functionality. Is it easy enough to set up new capture profiles and so on?
  • Editing functionality. What about editing your screen captures, do you use the Snagit Editor, what should be changed in the editor?
  • Sharing functionality. Like to share your images with others, if so – how?
  • Add-ons. Any software you would like to have an output available directly from inside Snagit.
  • Other areas. Any other areas that you feel improvements would be helpful.

OK, I’ll go first…
