[Utility] 'Jing' screen/video capture tool

Do you want to try a sophisticated Screen/Video capture tool ? I suggest Jing. I found myself comfortable with this free tool. I was taking snapshots and mark on the same in a traditional way, Prnt Screen -> Paste to mspaint -> Mark there -> Save and use. If everything available in a single easy to use tool then you will opt the same right ?


You can take snapshot, mark, highlight and quote on it. Jing also provides video capture. So go for below steps and make a trial run,
2. Install Jing.
3. Run Jing, you can see a round sun appearing at middle of your screen and set to the top middle screen.
4. Mouse over the yellow sun.
5. Select the capture option.
6. Select the area/window.
7. Press Save button displayed in the button panel shown.
You can run video capture in similar way. Just see a snapshot created/edited with Jing.

Share what you captured to Every one !!!
Just tell Jing where to send the screenshot and—BAM!—it's there and ready to share. When you send to a destination like Screencast.com or Flickr, Jing even places a hyperlink on your clipboard.
Remember, if you are a Windows user, you should have Windows XP or Vista and .NET Framework 3.0 for running Jing. Mac users need Mac OS X 10.4.11, or 10.5.5 or later and QuickTime 7.5.5 or later.
