Set Up Personal FTP (and website) Sharing
Posted on Tuesday August 26, 2008 by Mike Curtis
Do you have a website or FTP server? Do you want Jing to be able to send images and video up there?
If so, click the More ball > Preferences > FTP. Once there, you can check out this image for an example of how the fields should likely look. Or, check out this video (3:48) for a more in-depth explanation.
On a related topic, what is the difference between embed and share links? Let's say I want to show people what the Jing share and embed buttons look like. I could embed the image into my blog or website like this: 
Note that when I embed something, you don't have to click anything and the content is instantly viewable. You can imagine that using embed code for large images and videos can be a challenge if you have limited space. (For example, this blog limits me to just over 600 pixels in width). Embedding content is not going to work for things like emails or instant messages. It's mostly for blogs, wikis (maybe) and your website.
Here's what happens if I click the Share button: http://www.screencast.com/t/QJYogbyqrp. Note that sharing and embedding works with all Jing-supported outputs.
Hope this helps! Maybe some people in the Jing community can share examples of how they use share and embed.
Have you heard? Jing is here to stay!

Hi, I often use Jing to send little screen videos to my clients as I'm a web designer and sometimes it's much faster to explain things with a video.
Recently though my Jing videos have stopped playing in Firefox 3 on my Mac. Does anyone know why?
here a little video http://www.digiflipconcepts.com/jing/jing-ff-mac.swf

Hi Mark,
There are no known issues with videos not playing in Firefox 3.
I'm noticing that you are linking to the actual .swf file. This will likely make the video longer to load. Any chance if you upload the video to Screencast.com that it works in FF3 and it's not working in FF3 if you link directly to the swf?
