The Editor component takes the functionality of Snagit to a new level. You can choose to capture the cursor or not, set time delays for capture and even set presets for future use. Simply brilliant for creating video tutorials or segments off that can be later put together. 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.

I gave up counting the number of sites I had put together in the corporate and educational world at about 500, and only stopped when it become economically unviable when the tools made available by the likes of Microsoft (FrontPage) and Adobe (Dreamweaver) made it possible for companies’ IT departments to take the task in-house.īut over all that time, and right until about 5 minutes ago, one tool has stayed with me, invaluable for a major component of all websites – graphics images.

I was among the first that worked out how to add video to websites – and that was before the Sydney Olympics in 2000!
