screen capture JING (updated)

+ another update + I just purchase Jing PRO so I could edit in iMovie and upload to You Tube.

If you're looking for a screen capture for the Mac more than the very basic "Grab" you should take a look at Jing. From Techsmith, the company who developed SnagIt (PC only) this free download lets you capture video as well as screenshots and is available for the Mac and PC. This comes in useful when, like me, you work remotely from your clients and need to explain how to "download your website" for back up.

After watching the Jing "Taking Your First Capture" video, doing the screen capture was easy. Of course, now I need to practice not "flubbing" my lines. This leads me to one problem, you can't edit your files as they are exported as a flash movie on the free version.

Here's a look at my "Getting started: uploading files to godaddy.com"

Bottom line: First glance - it at had me at "download"
Pros: Free, easy to use, end product looks good.
Cons: Only exports as swf (free version), Jing branding on last frame (free version)
