using legit snagit for years, video capture is crap tbh. it records external sounds thru the speakers, not thru the system. In a meeting or whatever conference if u use a bluetooth kit it wont record anything but ambient sound of the room, this is really disappointing
@stevensegaert3 жыл бұрын
Lots of features indeed. But I also find it a little time-consuming to use. For quick captures that require just a frame, an arrow or a quick textbox, TechSmith also has the free "TechSmith Capture", which takes the place of my beloved but sadly departed Jing. I'll take another look at Snagit though. It seems great for captures that have a bit more 'longevity', so to speak.

@slicedpage3 жыл бұрын
It is not over priced I must say but it can be frustrating. I created a series of images to use in a template. I added text then wanted to use an arrow as a visual aide to accompany the text. When I did the text disappeared ARRRGGGGHHH! Glad I have the free version. However it is one of the few freebies I have that I'd actually pay for. Adobe ? NEVER such a rip off

what is the sense of having the text on the screen, it is just blocking the video where you showing what to do area, it is annoying, after all, it is in English and you are speaking English beautiful video like this is an annoying video because of the text on it. watch the video yourself and see how annoying the text can be, they don't serve a purpose. if they were in Spanish I would say I understand. but in English. thumbs down. please remove One more thing is why not spend a little more time on adding text to captured images they seem to be a pain.

It's nice to see PC and can do basic default functions that are on the Galaxy Note series and SPen since forever ago. I wish I came across this PC software a long time ago because the desktop was a clunky experience trying to screenshots and share in general. But now I see the mobile workflow dominating as you are not tethered to a ball and chain of a PC at a location plus mobile chips are powerful for up to 8k video editing. I'm waiting for the Samsung S8 Ultra tablet that comes with an S-pen and with that all the crazy stuff you can do with thanks to the Note series smartphone. I live a mobile computing life. I may give this a try if I'm stuck doing work on the ole desktop.

I'm not so convinced its as good as advertised. I could still see its GUI in my video and my image was scalled out of view on the sides because I cut off the title bar and taskbar, so it zoomed in and lost the left and right parts of the section of capture, plus in the middle of recording, I wanted to mute audio and couldn't find the button when its running, which is stupid for a recording app, all the transport and video and audio controls must be right there on the bar that sticks out on top of my videos even though I don't want it to show. So yeah its just another screen recorder, but I don't think its very good. It works, but isn't very intuitive in terms of its programming.
