Text Tool Features You May Not Know About

Posted on Wednesday September 17, 2008 by Mike Curtis

That little text tool--you may have used it hundreds of times and yet it might be keeping secrets from you! Currently the text tool works a little differently on Windows and Mac.

Check out these short videos below: You might know everything there is to know about the text tool, but...I bet you might just learn a little something new!

K. Jusupov :

Are there any plans to have the text color and box color to be different?

Example: box color would be red, whereas the text inside would be blue...

John Dineen :

Hi,

I use Jing on Mac. I would like to use the text tool annotate some demo videos. The problem that I am having is that I can't get the jing editor to appear for videos - it only appears for images. What am I doing wrong?

Mike Curtis, TechSmith :

Hi John, You're not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, Jing is only capable of annotating images. Jing does not have any call out or visual effects for video. We appreciate your feedback!

Dave Topham :

Is there a way to make the frame around the text annotations thinner? i.e. Change line thickness in general.
