What's New with Jing
The Jing team has been hard at work adding three more improvements to Jing--proxy support, SFTP, and audio device selection. The first two are targeted at our corporate and education users. If you've ever tried to use Jing behind a proxy...well, notsomuch huh? We now try to autodetect the proxy settings and allow for manual settings with authenticated proxy support.
We hope everyone appreciates the new way you can select your audio device from within Jing. No more messing around with the default audio input device. When you install this update, Jing will prompt you to pick which microphone you want to use when you make your next video. Jing will keep using the same device unless you change it or your available audio devices change.

We're not done yet. There's still room for improvement. We think there's lots of ways to make the process of creating short videos and annotated images way quicker and easier...because that's what Jing does.

Mic selection, finally! Yeah! :-)
Oh man, it's time to party now! You know, I'd like the ability to use FTP rather than Screencast.com for Twitter/Facebook updates ;)
Very nicely done!
My next request: Let me set some presets so I can use another hot-key to do a repeated action.
Say I almost always upload to screencast, let me set a keystroke to bypass the editor and just post. (Or copy or save or upload to facebook)
Better yet . . give me multiple preset slots!
Very awesome!
Still no fix to the bug that stops people from uploading images\videos to the server when using the date string yyyy/mm/dd ?
When do you think this will work by?
What Jing does, and does extreemly well if you ask me. Have been using Jing for student feedback for the first time over the last few months, and it's fantastic.
Keep up the good work!
I really loved Jing so much that I wanted to support you guys, and got the pro ver.
After I went to dual monitors it started running really slow.. and when I would select the ROI, it was really choppy.
So I started using another tool - (but i really wanted to go back to Jing)
The new release seems to be much better / faster. I'm going to give it a try.
PS. I've recommended your app my friends and Co-workers.
Keep up to good work.
Feature request:
- I shortcut key for doing -Copy to clipboard would really help me
I use to to take quick clips and post it into my Evernote.
Jing is a great project. I use it in my development, feature review, and code review process.
However, I butt heads with the 5 minute limit. I went pro for a while, but still ran into the 5 minute limit.
Youtube supports 10 minute videos, and if I want to point out a feature it usually takes about 10 minutes to describe the issue.
With the 5 minute limit, I record about 3 or 4 takes and by the 5th time I talk really fast and try to get it all in, but get cut off in the end.
With the new mic detection code, maybe it can detect I'm still talking and wait for me to finish the sentence prop......

Since upgrading today, the FTP is excruciatingly slow. It is normal speed with FTP client, but only 20-30K/s with the Jing FTP upload.

I work with VBA programmers who use English as a second language. And it can be a battle to understand the written language sometimes. I am sure this goes both ways. I am now using Jing pro and how communication is so much clearer and quicker. It is true a picture, or video, is worth 1000 words.
Many thanks for the great job you guys are doing..
I Love Jing for video blogging.
Most of my videos seem to go 6+ minutes long ...No...Not all of them. But I end up having to do my videos in 3 or 4 takes to squeeze the content down into that 5 minute limit....or I use another product!
How about this Jing....The 5 minute time limit is great for the free version...BUT...the next pro version....the new upgrade you surprise us with is now doing 10 minute lengths!
Ears forward!! Listen up!! Great product and company.

I definitely love Jing too--I have the Pro version, and am very pleased with how quickly I can create a screencast, and then have it uploaded and ready to send to someone.
The one feature I wish it had was the ability to annotate, or put text call-outs, on the screen. That feature would allow us to make ADA-compliant screencasts, reaching those who are audio-impaired.
Thanks for a great product, and for the continued updates!
I use jing pro for quick videos for my membership site BUT it is no good for youtube...:( any word on when you are going to get the youtube audio fixed on macs?!??!
Jing is great.
Two request to make it GREATER
1. Longer recording time for pro version .10 min
2. Ability to anotate
Somebody else mentioned in the comments on this thread about Jing being slow with dual monitors. I have 6 monitors on one PC, and Jing is unbearable. I have to actually unplug a few in order to use Jing. After hitting the capture button, and you get that cross hair to draw a box to capture, that is the part that locks up. I have 3 dual head PCI-E video cards, all Nvidia, 6 LCD displays.
Wish TechSmith would fix this. Thanks.
