Reviewed by: CNET Staff
The team behind the screen recording utility Camtasia have released a simplified, experimental version of the technology, packaged into a nice downloadable application called the Jing Project.
Jing makes it very easy to grab screenshots and videos straight from your PC, and then save them or share them on the Web. The coolest part of this experiment--in theory--is Jing's integration with Screencast.com, a hosting service for videos recorded off your computer. Once you've recorded a video, you can save it to your Screencast account, and from there you can get an embed code to put it in a blog or other page.
The experimental Jing is great, but oddly, the well-established Screencast.com site is the weak link in the chain. It's unattractive, and the embed codes are nearly impossible to find. On the plus side, the Screencast.com trial doesn't apply to Jing users--Jing has announced that the $6.95 monthly fee gets waived for Jing users. Still, Jing really needs a quick and easy way to upload files to more free vid-sharing sites.
FLV uploads are recommended to be in H.264, but other than that, for a clean, flexible, and almost fun way to grab pictures and onscreen videos, Jing really can't be beat.
Publisher's description
From TechSmith :Jing is always ready when you need to capture a quick image or record a screencast. The goal is simplicity, and you can share your content to your local hard drive, an FTP server, a network drive, Screencast.com, embedded on your blog, copy an image to your clipboard, or upload it directly to your Flickr account. You are probably getting the idea; Jing is spontaneous capture with multiple ways to get your content to yourself or your audience.
Jing is an innovative project from TechSmith (makers of SnagIt and Camtasia Studio) and the team is keenly interested in learning how you engage in visual communication. Give it a try and tell us what you think! Version 1.6.8006 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
What's new in this version:
In an effort to address the Jing Pro video problems associated with the latest release of QuickTime (v7.6), we have released a new version of Jing (for Mac users only). Jing will prompt you to install this latest version the next time you restart. With this new version, Mac users can once again record videos in .MP4 format and share those videos as desired. We do however, view this release as a step in completely resolving the problem, as there are still a few lingering issues.
