The concept of Jing is the always-ready program that instantly captures and shares images and video…from your computer to anywhere.

This video perfectly underscores my ONE big issue with Jing.

Jing needs to add the feature where you can save a recording for later editing (in .avi, .mov, whatever).

You did not actually make this video using Jing. Why not? Because you could not edit it later and produce your end result.

I want to love Jing and if it could do that one thing I would.

Until you add this feature people will use it for a small subset of use cases. And even the makers of Jing will not use it for screen capture to demo the product itself.

Jing looks great and I am looking forward to learning to use the application. However, your information videos are too large and can cause problems on less powerful PCs.

Take a look at what Apple are doing with video compression, this stuff is amazing and the file sizes are modest so that they stream quickly.

I'm a complete newbie with this and I apologize in advance if this question is too basic. I have successfully captured a screen but I want to add audio to it and I don't see how. Does Jing do this? I did see reference that you use Camphasia for your videos because Jing doesn't "do that" Do what? Record audio? I'm looking into the possibility of using Jing instead of Camphasia for quick (one minute or less) online explanations. Is it a viable alternative? Thanks.

Hey Maryanne,
You can add audio to your Jing-video, but you have to do it during the recording.
Make sure your microphone is connected, and then start the video recording and you should be able to narrate the action on the screen.

Jing is designed for quick and simple videos - Camtasia Studio is more advanced and allows you to edit your video, add different audio, adjust the timing and much more. So because I try to make my videos look more 'professional', I use Camtasia Studio.

I hope that makes sense, let me know if it doesn't and I'll try to explain it differently.

Looks like a great product however when I use jing to create a video, then email the link to myself, when I open the email, all I see is the html. URLs are not hyperinks or anything, so it's just a bunch of html.

I tried emailing it to myself at hotmail and also to myself at another address. Using my old Outlook interface (SR2000), same result.

What am i missing? What do I need to do to get the video link in the email so the user can click no it and see the video? (When I capture just screen shots, works fine btw).

thanks,
Jessica

I'm trying to move my sun into the lower right-hand corner, but it keeps reverting to the previous location.
I'm on Vista and have my taskbar at the top of the screen, so nothing's interfering...is cornering the sun only a Mac option? :-(

@ Robert. I got some disappointing news for you... You currently can't put the sun in a corner on Windows. :-(
So yes, cornering the sun is only a Mac option.
