JING
This is yet another screen casting tool by TechSmith. Jing has a very simple interface, but you do not get too many features. For example, you cannot record your web cam and you cannot annotate your videos. It also has many limitations to include a limit of 5 minutes of recording. I also noticed when I tried it out that it only publishes videos in .swf format which cannot be played or transferred to certain venues as is the same problem with CamStudio. The format in which you need your videos to be in is Mp4. I think that TechSmith created this free tool as a way to get you to buy their more costly screen casting software such as Camtasia.

Dear Steph
Flash and java have big time security issues, because many websites have moved on to HTML5 for videos. I think youtube uses it now. Tried to stream a move from Amazon. It stopped using MS Silver light and will only allow flash to play in Firefox. Hard to keep up, I think Netflix is now using HTML5. I have disabled flash and java in Chrome, I set it on click to play because many websites still use flash. What a mess hard to keep up!

Hi William!
That does sound difficult to keep up with. I am not sure what YouTube uses for videos. It might be HTML 5. I have had a hard time streaming from Amazon as well. Thank you for offering more insight into the world of videos. :)

Hi Steph, great to connect with you as always. I totally agree Adobe is big $$$ and would take as long if not longer to learn as it would to get a biz going here on WA. We are smart people here, surely we should be able to grab something we can afford for now.
Best to you Steph, always...
William :)

Hi Robert!
I think I may have confused many folks. There are more pages to this training than the first page listing Adobe Captivate. I added a paragraph on top to make it more clear that there are other affordable and often FREE chooses out there as you navigate through the training. :)

There are other products that are listed are some of my other pages of this training. I agree that Adobe is far too techy.

Wow. That was a terrific tutorial. I only knew about Camtasia and Snagit yet thought there may be more. I am sure you will get out of your comfort zone and realise it is what you say that is important. I am sure you will have something important to say!
Many thanks Steph.
Many thanks Steph.
