Editing Jing Videos - What's Your Take?

| | Comments (20)

Over the past several months, we have received a lot of requests for tweaks, enhancements. However, a core group of requests have naturally risen to the surface and while we are talking about all of them inside TechSmith, some seem to be more full of questions than answers.

So naturally, when in doubt, we ask the experts - YOU. One area in particular is the notion of editing the videos you make with Jing. When this topic comes up, lots of debate, conjecture and even fortune telling with our magic crystal Jing ball starts to happen amongst the team. With your help, we are looking to better understand what truly lies behind that very broad request - EDITING.

With your participation in a short 6 question survey, we can get a much stronger grasp of what this means from your perspective and ultimately decide if that makes sense for Jing.

Hello Jing,

You have now got a real beginner here!

I have some friends and we all love jazz.

We talked about buying DVDs etc, and finally came up with the idea of copying a jazz show from the internet and looking at it together.

I searched around and found that JING was supposed to be really good for this. So, I have downloaded it.

I am not too sure about just copying the show and then playing it on my pc, because we don't really want to send it (share it) over the internet, it would be just for us to look at.

I hope that there are easy to follow instructions in JING, and when I succeed in actually finding and copying a jazz show, I will tell you how a beginner managed !!

(I have had a computer for about 2 years and my learning curve has proved to be a little precipitous!!)

I shall now try and find out how to record the show and then how to look at it!!

Wish me luck!

Regards

Colin

I love how clear Jing records.
But i have one realy major question that i have been having trouble with for a while now.
How do i edit Jing Videos, and why can't i import a Jing video to Windows movie maker to edit it.
and also how can i upload Jing videos to youtube

Quote floater

Great Program. I am using to create training videos for my software. Is there a way to remove Play button on the front end. And the Replay on the Back. The credits are fine.

Hi Everyone,
How do I remove the typing and mouse click sounds when making a video. Help!

Quote floater

Thanks this programs rocks im going to tell all of my friends to get it

Quote floater

I really like the program so far, with it's beautiful crispness, its lack of a watermark, and the automatic-uploading feature. What I don't like is the fact that the video is saved in an swf form. It makes if super easy to immediately upload and share, but if I want to edit it, I want it in a more playable, non-proprietary form, such as avi, which requires no specialized software to edit. In my opinion, this would be the best improvement to make.

Thank you so much for your consideration, good luck, and best wishes.

I would add to the accolades, as well as to some comments I've seen about editing/resizing the videos.

Like many others I have a large screen at super high resolution - it would be fantastic to be able to resize the captured videos for easy sharing with others who don't have such large screens/resolutions - as well as to be able to post in forum posts etc.

Thanks for the fantastic work!

T Baker,

Thanks for your comments. We have been seeing the same trend on viewing issues whether due to resolution issues on the viewer's display device or because users are attempting to embed their captured media into blogs and website and needing their media scaled down.

The good news is that it's at the forefront of our discussions here at TechSmith and we are looking for the appropriate solution that fits nicely into the spirit of Jing.

I wanted you all to know this wasn't falling on deaf ears :-)

Thanks,
Tony

"it would be fantastic to be able to resize the captured videos for easy sharing with others who don't have such large screens/resolutions"

This is *MUST HAVE* functionality, IMO.

For most purposes, having full lossless resolution is not required, and in fact is an obstacle to embedding in web content.

I want to capture my whole screen 1680x1050 screen, but have the video output be half or 1/3 that size.

Quote floater

9 months after Tony's not falling on deaf ears post...Any update on resizing the videos?

Quote floater

The interface is awesome, I think the program overall runs very quick and has some great features. I just don't like the fact that you can't edit videos easily at all. I'd like to be able to do more with the videos after editing them... Saving to avi would be great and being able to edit and add things into the videos would be great too. But I guess that's what CamStudio is for, right?

Quote floater

I just wanted to say that if somehow you give us the ability to edit videos and it doesn't have to be really complex, just a basic way to put text since I explain stuff more in text than in voice for many reasons I would be a happy camper and even would be a good incentive for me to upgrade to pro definitely without a second thought. Is the only thing really keeping me from using jing for serious work now. So future Pro customer here as soon as you guys add some editing features :)

Oh BTW I wouldn't mind resizing the final output video too but is not a deal breaker for me really.

I like Jing, but I NEED to be able to edit videos. I have it set to swf, because I don't have jing pro, and none of my many video editors can open it or even convert it. HELP!

Quote floater

How do I get Jing into windows movie maker.

Quote floater

Do I need to convert clips I recorded to a different format in order for it to work with certain editing software? If so, which format?
