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.

To celebrate this win for Snagit we have set up a coupon together with SoftwareCasa so you can get $10.00 off the suggested retail price. See the end of this post for information on how to get the discount.

With screen capture applications, taking screenshots has never been that awesome. Many people have been drawn to using and taking advantage of the wonders this has brought them.

Since they are a lot of screen capture software that are popular these days, we sometimes wonder, which one is really the best. To end this wondering, LifeHacker launched a competition for Best Screen Capture Tool last April 16, 2009.

With thousands of voters, and lots of Screen Capture Tools to choose from, finally yesterday, April 21, 2009, the polls have been closed, votes were counted and the verdict was made. Among all the outstanding screen capture tools known to every screenshot-taker, Snagit bagged the No.1 spot as the Greatest Screen Capture Tool. See the complete list of contenders here.

Below are the next in line of the top five contenders, chosen by the hundreds of voters themselves.

    Second Place: Skitch

    Third Place: Jing

    Fourth Place: FastStone Capture

    Fifth Place: Snipping Tool

To celebrate Snagit’s first position we are offering it to a special price only valid today and tomorrow (ends at midnight Thursday April 23rd). You can get it for $39.95 instead of the suggested price $49.95.

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…

Audio in Video Clip – Problem

powered by WordPress Multibox Plugin v1.3.5

Snagit MicI received an email from a client trying to capture video in Snagit. But when trying to play the snagit video no sound was heard.

Hi Peter

I’m having a problem and wonder if you could offer some advice. The audio in

video clips with sound that I’m recording is not showing up any longer.

Until recently, the audio was just fine. I’m not aware of any changes I’ve

made in recording or settings. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Mark

But wait, there is even more…
