How to Snap A Screenshot or Record A Video of Onscreen Action for Free?

jing-logoAs a blogger, you should have both valuable screencasting tools with you such as Camtasia Studio and Snagit. However, since they are premium tools that requires quite a lot of money, you can try a free ongoing project by the same developer - TechSmith.

Known as Jing, it's another desktop-based software that lets users snap a screenshot, record a video of onscreen action, and share them instantly with your friends via email, web or IM. The folks there says that "it's the perfect companion to the casual, fast-paced online conversations we all have every day".

 This free and useful app is available for both Windows and Mac OS X. For screen capture, it even comes with a simple editor that enables you to mark up your screenshot with a basic text box, arrow, highlight, or rectangle. From there, you can share your images to anywhere you want almost instantly. On the other hand, for screencasting, it allows you to record whatever it's on your screen, record your commentary to accompany with it and share it.

If you upgrade to the premium Jing Pro, there will be more exciting features like record full-motion video from your screen such as YouTube HD videos, share faster with smaller video files, upload straight to YouTube, remove Jing watermarks from your videos, etc. It cost only $14.95 which is quite reasonable as compared to Snagit ($49.95) and Camtasia Studio ($299). Of course these both tools have more options and produce better quality work.
