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

Thank you for these buttons! These are what I always wanted but never knew what it was that I was missing until today! Brilliant!!!

Very nice update. Just waiting for 1 more feature, and that's added "pages" to the history window. It lags when I open it because I've got almost 1000 captures now. :P

I like the copy button.. but I really want SSH Support

Thomas Schaaf
I hope at some point I can put a blog post up and tell the world that this feature has finially been integrated

Sounds cool...I actually prefer text so where are the relase notes ? :)

Other comments:

The buttons are missing in the history page so can't save/copy from there.

I still haven't found out how to get [filename] to expand to the full filename so I don't have to adjust both target directory and share link under file settings to get a correct absolute filename in the clipboard.

...and is Linux targeted ? :)

@ XGhozt & Thomas Schaaf: Could you please submit that feature requet via the feedback form else it'll just get lost in here. Thanks.

@ Max: The release notes are in the previous blog post. . The missing buttons in history is something we will address down the road.

I was wondering if anyone has an idea how much jing is going to cost? also will there be a desktop save/copy version that will remain free(no screencast, ftp, etc...) I Love the app, I just can't see buying it when most all I do is images from firefox, and I can use fireshot with a ton of the same features found in jing(all the annotate, drawing, no video though) just hate getting used to something cool and have to dump it for a free app later is all.

Hello guys, I'm adding this comment to support the idea of give jing other output option, mainly FLV. It is a must. Jing is a great tool, and I will be ok paying for it, but IT is almost silly not to add different output options. This can't be hard at old, and it will make a world of difference for users like us that may use jing videos with multiple venues of distribution: ppt, youtube, company training site. I really need FLV. We are planing on using jing as our main communication and training tool, and we already have a training page that read from a server folder with flv files and make them available to the staff. Please make flv available. Thanks you and I congratulation you on this great tool

that's great:)

btw: how did you embed the small video on the site? I can't get my screencasts to embed in anything but there original size?

also any chance of having export as mov so we can add to youtube etc?

Great product
Thanks
Pete

@ Pete: The video is smaller because I used a different program to make it. :-)

I recorded and edited it with Camtasia Studio, one of the other screen recording tools that TechSmith makes.
Camtasia Studio is designed for making more professional video tutorials because you have tons of editing, resizing and annotation options, which is why I like using it for these videos.

Video capture in Jing on the other hand doesn't have any editing options, but is much faster and easier to use. So when I want to quickly show something or it doesn't need to be polished, I use Jing.

Hope that makes sense.

I just discovered Camtasia and Jing -- Camtasia Studio 3.0 works with MS .Net Framework 2.x, while Jing requires MS .Net Framework 3.0. Could you provide the users with some hints & explanations. Camtasia would probably work with MS .Net Framework 3.0 (?), but could the .NET-update somehow bother the system (e.g. PC WinXP & SP2)?

Will Jing supprot flickr video uploading?

Camtasia 3.0? Camtasia 5.1 has already been released!

And why do you care what Framework they use?

Thomas

.NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 are compatible; all the goodies from 2.0 are included in 3.0.

This is a great update, but as long as Jing only exports to swf it will always be frustrating for me. i am looking forward to an update that lets me choose the video format OR (better yet) will let me convert the swf video into whatever i want.

I've downloaded the latest(?) version from the link provided (Mac version) and I still can't find the new buttons?...

I've got: Share, Embed, Cancel buttons only...

URL: http://download.techsmith.com/jing/mac/jing.dmg

Additional to my previous post:

When I check for update from the: more --> help --> check for update, it says that there is a new version available, but it get's the same version again and again...

md5 hash of the downloaded dmg file: 51cd555cfa699b9272f68d149de0080e

It keeps getting better and better! Thanks

Does not allow you to specify WHERE to put Jing. Just puts it where it wants. I do not want it in my C drive as is already full. Not usable for me.

I downloaded and tried it out. Want very much to like it because I can see it being very helpful to me. However, when recording video on my mac and one of the actions I wanted to record was me scrolling down on a website page, the resulting video I recorded was very choppy, much like making a cartoon with a flipbook. Very herky-jerky, not very smooth at all. As a result the arrow cursor would disappear and reappear, making following along with what I was trying to show very difficult. Is there anyway to fix this?

The Video makes it easier to follow & understand.Thanx.
I used it to create my website.

@all: I didn't realize that the previous version was installed under /Applications/Utilities/Jing.app, whereas the new one was going under /Applications and Quicksilver would remember the last location...

So, basically - now everything is cool, I like new features... thanks a lot for this tool!

Is it possible to select a different proxy server?
Or to disable the internet connection in total?
At our company we use an NTLM proxy server, and I setup a python redirect server for software that can't deal with it.
But Jing is only looking at the default (windows?) proxy server.

Another feature request: Copy path to clipboard. With this function you can save the file, and than it copies the path to the clipboard so you can past it in your webbrowser for placing attachments etcetera.

How do you zoom in and out of your screen? Is that with Jing or a separate program?

Is it possible to export the material to swf (Flash) after you created it? Would be great.

I started to with a screen-capturing tool a few years ago:
- Robodemo
- Robodemo was bought by Macromedia
- Macromedia was bought by Adobe
-> now: Adobe Captivate, but only available for Microsoft :-(
So I'm looking for a Mac tool...

Hello Mario,
When you make a video with Jing, the format is SWF. At this time there are no other choices. So that's good news for you in this case I think.

Images are always PNG. Thanks for your interest and good luck on the Mac!
Mike Curtis

@Ton I'll double check with the team, but I do not believe you can set up a custom proxy. When you ask about disabling Internet, are you asking if you can use Jing without needing the Internet? If so, the answer is yes, you can certainly get Jing running then save to file, save the "normal" way, copy to clipboard, or if you have a network drive, you can put images and video there.

@sgulley The zooming was done using Camtasia Studio 5.1. CS 5 has a cool new feature called SmartFocus so it automatically puts in zoom and pan effects based on what's happening on your screen. (You can always change the SmartFocus zooms later.)

Hi,

Is it possible to record a narration after the video was captured?

Thanks!
