Still images of course can be captured, but it also possible to capture “video” making it a breeze for Snagit to let you capture a sequence of say mouse click, menu drop, choose item and then the selection doing whatever it does. There is also an advanced Capture for menus, multiple areas, the clipboard or free hand selection.Īll sorts of effects can be applied at capture time and you can even automatically direct captures to a third party app such as Twitter, Evernote, OneNote, Word, Dropbox or Google Drive for example. CaptureĬapturing screens lets you choose whether to get a defines Region (using the mouse to draw a rectangle over the desired area), a window, full screen, a scrolling window, a panorama, get just text. Remarkably easy to use and intuitive, Snagit comes in two parts – the Capture utility and the Editor.

I was among the first that worked out how to add video to websites – and that was before the Sydney Olympics in 2000! From there I did other sites for Hertz, John Williamson (Old man Emu) and even developed the original HSC Online for the NSW Board of Studies.

Well since 1996 to be exact when OzEmail asked me to develop a site for one its corporate clients – Coates Hire off memory. I have been creating web sites and pages for seemingly ever.
