Video has no rival when it comes to explaining something complex, but sometimes it’s overkill. Video requires the overhead of a video player app (of some sort) that may not run on all browsers and platforms. There’s an “expense” to using video - in terms of page loading speed - and while most of the time it’s worth it, for very short clips that don’t require sound animated GIFs are the way to go. Plus, it’s easy to make the clip “loop” so the viewer can watch until they understand the concept or problem.Īre animated GIFs cutting edge? Nope. They’ve been around since the late 1980s, but that’s the beauty of them. Almost every web browser ever created supports them and they are displayed on the screen very quickly. Overall, Snagit is awesome and is “must-have” software.īut don’t take my word for it.
Here are how some other online entrepreneurs feel about the new version: Dr. Snagit is now my favorite tool for grabbing screens to create tutorial content for my website. I use the built-in arrow, text and callout tools to mark up these screen grabs to explain and highlight items for how-to articles. My favorite addition to the new version is the magnify tool. I also use Snagit for troubleshooting hardware and software. For example, I’ve been collecting screenshots of connection logs from my cable modem to help technicians identify connection issues with my ISP. I also really like the support the company gives to teachers. As an Apple Distinguished Educator and former university professor, I appreciate the special pricing TechSmith offers to educators and schools. #Snagit upgrade from 10 to 13 portableĪndy Brovey | Portable Prof | Lane Slagle – Starfish Educationįor me, the biggest win with the new version of Snagit is that it’s now much more usable on a high resolution screen.
The fact that the developers fixed this issue has increased my productivity dramatically. I like Snagit because it has a pretty reasonable learning curve and it allows people like me who are not graphic artists to produce nice-looking, high quality images. In fact, almost all of the images on my web site were created using some version of Snagit.
