I am certainly impressed with Jing. Will try to do the same and let give you feedback. It is an incredible tool for adult learning too.

Just wanted to report my own experiences with the free version of Jing today:
-liked the screen capture square, the cute floating controls I can pull down, and intuitive interface.

However, I could not figure out a static image save for anything, whether I tried to save it to my computer or screencast.
I realized that the Pro version is a must if I want to record streaming video. I did sign up for Jing’s newsletter, but held off on a purchase for now.
In today’s instance, I really wanted to record snippets of a political panel’s talk so I could promo it and link to it from my blog.

Thanks Carol – I did not have to reduce my resolution, but I did end up going with the inexpensive Jing Pro option ($15), mostly because I wanted the MP4 capabilities, although this also provides better quality video capture.

Right now I’m working with Debut (the free ‘Lite’ version), and so far I’m pretty impressed. Stop by and check out the post that I’ll put up tomorrow when you get a chance.

OK. Just watched the Jing video and I see you can do narration. Nice.

Thank you for sharing this… Jing does look good.
Perhaps I overlooked this piece of information – curious – did the audio record in Jing or did you record that separately? My look at Jing’s site did not show audio recording as an option.
Also curious: did you have to reduce your screen resolution to make this function without hiccups? I have a laptop that is not whiz bang – couple of years old – and that’s what I did with CamStudio. That reduced the “footprint” of the processes and smoothed things out.
