Hi Matt,

When I capture a picture like you did above the share,save and cancel tabs isn't across the bottom. Any idea of why not?

Thanks

In a multi-window screen and I want to capture a window that is partially seen on my screen (as it is layered by another window on top of it) - is there a way to capture the full image of the back window instead of a layered capture? Thanks

How do I get captured shots pasted into PowerPoint presentations???

How do I get captured shots pasted into PowerPoint presentations???

I have been having difficulty sharing my video captures. When I try to share it. it always comes back that there was a problem connecting to the web but my capture is not shared but is in my history. But it doesn't do me any good if I can't share it. I've gotten around this error in a couple ways. First, I have saved the video but it is a shockwave flash object and can't be converted by my common programs so then I can upload to google and embed. so that's no good. I have then been goimg to screencast and selecting share and have been able to embed the html and email the url. But, screencast says it is expiring on 10/21. HELP. My work is on a wiki and a blog that lots of people use - over 200 members on my wikid! I don't want then not to be able to access the info. My email is cshortz@gmail.com but I've had to use cshortz@hotmail.com to use screencast. Help ASAP

I am also having trouble sharing my video captures. It comes back with a message saying it's not sure what happened but it is saved in the history. I am prompted to re-share but the same problem repeats itself.....very frustrating.

I just wanted to make sure that the movies I am sharing to my officemate is safe and secured and is not publish or available for other people to see. Because we have very delicate informations and we don't want anybody to mess up with our company securities.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks,
Pamela

I Love it!

But...My History page seems to have frozen. Nothing saves to it after I've uploaded, and I can't click on the pages in there - any suggestions?

Thanks

I use Jing a lot but I am getting annoyed that all the photos or whatever I capture go to my Microsoft picture program when I just want them to go to the desktop. How do I change the destination to desktop? Thanks.

Giovanni--Try using the region selector to record a smaller area of your screen. Jing cannot resize video after they have been recorded, so starting with a smaller area is a good idea for making watchable videos.

How do I get captured shots pasted into outlook emails?

I downloaded JING 2 or 3 days ago. That is as far as I have been able to go. Even after watching your videos 2, 3, 4 times. Is there anybody at JING that can assist me? Otherwise, I'll have to get rid of JING, since it is merely taking up space.

Ich habe das Program von der Computerbild. Ich finde das Programm gut. Ich habe allerdings das Problem, das ich nicht in Erfahrung bringen kann, wie ich die Bilder oder Text, den ich ausgeschnitten habe Speichern und in einen Ordner kopieren kann.Bitte sagen Sie mir wo der Fehler liegt. besteht nicht die Möglichkeit einen Button einzufügen, der eine Übersetzung ermöglicht?

I see you guys using text balloons and other stylized arrows (curved & dashes). I don't seem to have those features. I've looked around the archives and haven't seen anything relating to this subject but I could have missed it. I'm using Jing (which I really love so far) on a Mac. Are there more features for the PC version at the moment? Or is this something that will come into later development?
Thanks.

P.S. And seriously, this is a very cool "project". I've found so many ways to use this and I've only been using it for a couple of days.

This is fantastic,I am so excited to see something like this come to life.

Shoot. Just when I got the hang of jing and was able to convert the .swf files to an older version of Quicktime (so I could then import into iMovie), my Quicktime program got an update and now this is no longer possible. Any suggestions or do you know how to retrieve the old version of Quicktime and erase the update so I can go back to what was working? Thx.

Please help the technically challenged...love jing, but can't seem to figure out how to grab video off my clipboard to send in an email..? Where is the clipboard? Thanks!

I would like to use a Smartboard notebook presentation in conjunction with Jing. I'd also like to record my commentary with it as I give the slide show (video on Jing?). Do I open the notebook and capture it and give the show as I'd like it presented? Also, does the program that I'll need for the commentary (soundflower?) require a fee?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kerry,

I think I can clarify a few things.
1. Be aware that Jing as a 5-minute video time limit. Jing's main goal is to allow for quick, short visual communication. Some people have referred to it as "visual voicemail."

2. Jing can record audio (your commentary) right "out of the box." Just plug in your mic or use your internal one, and you should be good. Soundflower is in the event people want to get fancy and record system audio. Soundflower is 100% free.

3. If you still want to record, given the 5 minute limit, start up your presentation as normal. Then start Jing. Select your whole presentation window, and choose video recording. Alternatively, you might want to check out Camtasia Studio, which is really made for what I think you want to do. There is a 30-day trial at www.techsmith.com

Best wishes!

Hi Phyllis,
Are you trying to share with Screencast.com? If you're still having trouble, I'd suggest contacting support.techsmith.com. They'll sort it right out. I hope you'll soon be able to share those videos!
