What’s the Best Online Resource for Screen Capture or Video Capture

The best resource for video capture where you can record video online or share online images is www.jingproject.com. It’s free, so go to JingProject.com and utilize it.  My webmaster utilizes it, and you can utilize it, and it’s a great way to exchange video capture and image capture.

If you want to pay $50 you can use what I use, which is www.Snagit.com. It’s by Tech Smith and I believe they're run by the same company, its $49.95 U.S. and that’s what I use to capture website images.  You can’t just do that on Microsoft Word.  It’s not that easy.

When I create my handouts and study guides, all the website capture, all the video capture… all that’s done by Snagit.  It can scroll down a web page it does a bunch of things.  Jing can do as well, but Jing is free and there’s a little more advertising that Jing has, because it’s free.

So the best source for screen capture, video capture, any kind of exchange of online materials, capturing images that you can exchange, send to your webmasters or students, cut and paste on to PDF documents or Microsoft Word documents… JingProject.com, that one’s free, Snagit.com, that one’s $50. Those are the two we recommend.
