Tag: SCREEN CAPTURE

Every now and then, there's screen capture or image you stumble across that you just have to share. Climsy is a nice, simple Windows program which makes the process dead simple. It works the way FluffyApp does: take a screenshot or right-click and copy an image to your clipboard in any application, and Climsy will file it to a folder of your choosing or upload to either your Dropbox account, ...

Up until now, all the Android app screenshots you've seen floating around have been taken using either the Android SDK or third-party applications which require root access. That's because Android -- unlike webOS and iOS -- hasn't provided a simple way for users to capture images on their devices' screens. According to Android Central, that has changed in Android 2.3.3. Rooting will no longer ...

It's no secret that Download Squad likes TechSmith's Snagit. Erez loved the Windows version and Sam raved about the recently-launched Mac version. In fact, the only real problem that both of them discovered is that Snagit, at almost $50, is quite expensive. With excellent, free tools like Skitch and Screenpresso, it's hard to justify such an expense. Which is why you should enter our giveaway! ...

Earlier today I reviewed TechSmith's latest and greatest screen capture and recording tool, Jing. The free version is great -- and it's fantastic that the only branding is at the end of the video, not slathered all over it like most watermarks -- but, as always, the pro version is better. Pro enables a bunch of funky things: it removes branding from videos, enables MPEG-4 encoding, and it ...

TechSmith, with the launch of Snagit more than 20 years ago, is the definitive veteran of screen capture technology. Camtasia Studio, launched almost 10 years later, is now at version 7.1 and remains the best screen recording and video editing suite out there. TechSmith's latest tool, however, is an interesting mix of both Snagit and Camtasia. It's called Jing, and it makes sharing screenshots ...

Here at DownloadSquad, we're pretty heavy users of screenshot software -- whether it be an operating system's built-in tools, or a third-party app, taking screenshots forms part of our day-to-day routine. We've covered the PC version of Snagit extensively in the past, but now that the beta version of Snagit for Mac has hit release candidate it's time to take a look through what you can expect. ...

Ever on the lookout for a better screenshot application, I decided to give Jetscreenshot a chance. It's available free right now, so I figured it was worth a shot (pardon the unintentional pun). Like other similar apps, it's a small download and doesn't consume much in the way of CPU or memory while running, and it hides out in your system tray waiting to grab an image. Use its settings screen ...

If you, like us, capture and edit a lot of screenshots, the new version of SnagIt might interest you. We have covered past versions so let's focus on what's new with 9.0. Version 9 adds a sequential capture feature, automatic or custom tagging, visual bookmarking, ribbon-based menus, multi-image capabilities, a quick access toolbar and other features. The TechSmith web page lists better work ...

Although there are a lot of different screencasting options out there for the Mac, in our opinion, none has had the power and features of Camtasia Studio (a Windows only app); until now. ScreenFlow from Vara Software is, quite frankly, the best screencasting application for the Mac that we have seen to date -- and trust us, we've tried them all. Taking advantage of Core Animation (making this a ...

Looking for a free Windows screen capture utility now that FastStone has gone from freeware to shareware? Well, for simple screenshots you can still just hit print screen and paste into your favorite image editor. Or you can use irfanview's screen capture utility to capture individual windows. But if you're looking for something a bit more advanced, you might want to check out Window Clippings. ...

I wasn't planning on doing a countdown to Windows Vista until yesterday, and though there are piles of articles out there I could link to about Vista's failings, it seems unfair to focus on that for the week leading up to its release. Maybe I'll alternate days. Today I bring some tips and info for those who are all jazzed for Redmond's new baby. First a tip from the How-To Geek on the Built-in ...

And to think: just last week we were lamenting the absence of Snapz Pro--the granddaddy of Mac screen recording apps--in a MacBook-friendly format. Well, it seems the folks at Ambrosia were listening, to us and everyone else who's been carping about this for months, and today they finally released Snapz Pro X 2.0.3. The big news in the update is Intel Mac support, but users of single-processor PPC ...

DLS reader and FreeMacBlog webmaster Brian has put up a nice summary of the the available screen recording options for the Mac (at least the affordable ones). The list is a good rundown that features some old favorites as well as some new players. His pick of the litter is iShowU. Actually, it seems, surprisingly, to be the only real contender. None of the other options offer audio and video ...

Here's a cool tool with possibly the most awkward name ever: Flickr & WEBIMAGER. Yes, that's its name. It's a Windows app whose sole purpose is to take screen captures and upload them directly to Flickr. Simply use the built-in tools to capture the whole screen or a particular area, then click on the Upload button to give it a title and send it off to Flickr. It has a few other features like ...

Awhile I posted about ScreenGrab, an extension for Firefox that takes a screenshot of an entire web page. It got the job done, but I had a few issues with it, namely that it required Java and it was a tad buggy. Pearl Crescent's Page Saver looks like a great alternative. It's only for Firefox 1.5 and above and uses the Canvas feature to capture either the visible portion of the page or the whole ...
