I stumbled upon the Jing Project from a colleague a few days ago. We’ve been looking at doing some sort of documentation for an update to one of our products and rather cleverly we’ve thought about doing a screencast on some of the new features with either my dry radio voice or his manc accent commentating in the background. The screencast files are easily saved as flash files which can then be streamed on our website. Genius!
As a sort of bonus I’ve also realised its got a great basic screenshot editor meaning you can highlight areas, insert arrows, text etc. Pretty simple stuff that is probably done just as well in other programs but it’s ability to automatically upload to my Flickr account is a bit of a unique feature and one which is going to be a lot useful. I’ve now got myself a screenshots set created on Flickr so expect to see a few more pics get added to there (particularity as I want to retake a lot of screenshots for the upcoming manual manual rewrite).
For quick screengrabs I’m still going to keep to the faithful Print Screen button and paste to Ifranview but Jing is a great little app to have.
