Product Description:

The concept of Jing is the always-ready program that instantly captures and shares images and video…from your computer to anywhere.

Is Jing a product? Not exactly. Is Jing a “beta�?? Well, it’s not exactly that either. Jing is a concept that we’re evaluating to see if it can improve everyday conversations. Determining if Jing will be a product is what we are trying to do by gathering feedback from people like you. We think it’s a great way to improve daily conversations via email, IM chats and blog posts. If you’re wondering, “How in the world am I ever going to use this thing called ‘Jing’?�? then here’s an explanation from Tony Dunckel, the Jing Product (err, Project) Manager: “Think of Jing as a supplement to all your chat discussions, email threads, forum posts and blog entries. It sits nicely on your desktop, ready to capture and share your stuff at a moment’s notice. Simply select an area of your screen, capture it as an image or record it as a video, and then click Share. Jing conveniently places a URL to your content on your clipboard ready for you to paste the URL into any of your conversations. Your content is hosted on Screencast.com, for which we are providing a complimentary account to all participants during this project. Users have 200MB of space for storing screenshots and screencasts and 1 GB of bandwidth that renews monthly. The Screencast.com account will remain available to you for the duration of the project.�?

I own Snapz Pro X and have not been happy with it's screen capture capabilities. So I was researching some others including ScreenFlow, Screenium and Jing. Some are relatively expensive, some are reasonably priced but Jing is free.

Well, Jing just blows me away. Not only is it PC and Mac capable, it is so easy to use and quick to learn. For doing quick screencasts to share with others, either as a URL, or to embed in a website or blog post, this is just incredible. Check it out.

Slick, easy-to-use tool - Version: 1.3.2913, 10/18/2007 08:36PM PST

I'm a librarian and when I get a question about a procedure that's complicated to explain over the phone or by e-mail, Jing is the perfect solution (unless the patron doesn't have internet access). It's easy to use and takes only a few seconds to demonstrate something, upload it, and send the link to the patron.

This is a great little app anyway you look at it, easy to use (though I've only captured a couple of streaming video files) and seems stable enough on my macbook pro 10.4.10 OS. It might be nice if the audio taken was done internally by selecting the source (such as audio hijack) as it seems it's recorded off the mic, maybe there's a pref setting?

There a million uses for this even if you don't share the files. Again I'll look for different formats to save files in preferences, the default one is totally obscure and it seems only niceplayer will open it for playback. I like the fact you can assign the icon to either the menubar or the desktop as a hidden background icon.
