Jing 1.5 (Windows)

I just started using this today.  Very impressive.
I do wonder what the business model is though . .

Just started using this yesterday when I saw it mentioned in another thread.

Pretty handy little tool. 

So does this take the place of using print screen and paint and imageshack or used with it them or something totally different? :NOTSURE: 

It leaves a lightweight program running on your desktop. You click the capture button when you want to take a screenshot or video and it puts lines on your screen that you can drag to where you want them so you wont have to crop the shot afterwards. Then it will give you the option of marking (i.e. putting arrows, circling, highlighting) anything you want. Then when you hit the upload button it will automatically upload them to whatever account you have it setup to work with and then give you the address of your upload so you can share it.

damn missing edit button.

For fullsize screenshots that I'm uploading to the screenshot gallery I would still use Print Screen and Photoshop.

But for anything else that I just want to show something small to someone or for posting here in the forums it's a nice quick alternative that saves you the steps of having to open Paint or any other program and saves you from needing to login to a site like photobucket and upload it then get the address you need.

It sits in the systray.
You hotkey or tell it to capture and then select the area with the mouse.
Tell it to record and when complete it uploads to it's own site (I think) and copies the URL to you clipboard to paste wherever.

Depending on how you have it set. When you first install and run it look at the top center of your screen for a little yellow circle. I believe you can turn that on or off.



It gives you a few choices of where you want to send the resulting pictures or videos.

True . .but that's an option (one that interferes with my OD Dock) the systray is ALWAYS there.

Cool.  Thanks.  haven't played with it enough.

Also you can do these neat little screencast videos with it Philly

Exactly





Hell I had one of the Rogue Proton walls on my desktop yesterday so it took me a couple hours to notice the little yellow circle at the top of the screen.

Thanks zakai1369 and Zubaz. Oh and thanks to ID for making the post.   

A small test:
http://screencast.com/t/yHhUBONjq2m

I'm not sure this is the right place this but I'll give it a try.  Can anyone point me in the right direction for a software program so I can make thumb nails and other tools to adjust pictures, etc.  Free would make it just right;)  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

 

THe hardest part was waiting for the upload.
Nice.

Screencast.com is fantastic.  As many of you might have noticed, that is my provider of choice for screencasts as it as excellent video quality.

 

Another test:

Or not.

Is there a way to adjust image quality?  Or is that a function of the PC?
My last test seemed choppy.

One little thing I have noticed with Jing and wonder if I am the only one experiencing it.

If I have Jing running and I play a video in VLC the video plays sluggishly. But if I close Jing and play the video it runs fine even if I restart Jing once the video is going.

I don't think so.  It always records good for me.

 

I thought this would be a great tool to utilise over on the Desktop Sidebar Forums .. Unfortunately , for some wierd reason I cannot install this prog ... Does the screenshot help ? .

  

Antivirus running?  I'd disable it for a bit.

Not sure, make sure you are installing as administrator.

HI Zubaz ( was getting a bit lonely here ! )

I use avg free antivirus ... Right I will disable it and get right back at yer !!

ID ~ I am registered as admin .... No one else uses this PC ..

OK , Gents ... That worked .... Thanks Zubaz ... I disabled AVG in the Security Centre ...

Now its time to play .....
